"CONDIT IS LYING. /"
DECLARES MCGUIRE
Ex-Mayor Denies Essex Fells
Mans Charges of N. Y.
Campaign Graft.

HAVANA, Dec. flames Is Nc
CURE, ex-mayor of Syracuse and for
years prominent in Democratic party
affairs in New York State. returned
mere from San Domingo last night
and gave out a statement regarding
the Indictment found against him in
New York county, charging him with
mlsdemeanor in soliciting campaign
contributions from corporation.
Mr.. Mcclure denied in vigorous
terms the assertion made by Fillmore
Condit, of Essex Fells, ". j., New
York manager of the Union Oil Com
pany, that Mcclure intimated TO him
that II he would make a contribution
of $4,000 to the Democratic state cam
paign fund. and in addition part with
u commission of one cent a gallon on
all products sold to the State. his com
pany could get a share of the States
business.
Mr.. Mcclure declared that the
present attack upon him was due
solely to the animosity of powerful
oil and asphalt interests which had
been unable to control him, and said
he would have no difficulty In dis
proving any charges that might be
brought against him. He said he
was extremely anxious to return to
New York as soon as possible, solely
for the purpose of making ii hot for
some of his enemies" He denounced
Condit for involving him in the graft
investigation and said:
"Ccrdit is lying, absolutely lying.
If there was one ounce of honor in
his makeup he would have exposed
the alleged otfense at the time of
the alleged conversation with me, in
stead of sixteen months later No
man can recall The details of any
conversation sixteen months old.
The subject is brought up now
solely for the purpose of influencing
the contest over asphalt at Albany.
"Condit has been trying to keep
the tariff on asphalt, but it was put
on the free list just recently. That is
another grievance which he holds
against me. He is consummate liar
and is being used as a tool of powerful
interests.
"He has tried to force me into with
drawing my opposition to his specitl-
cations by threatening me with this
affidavit | have no fear of the re-
suit.
while the indictment is only for a
misdemeanor | purpose to fight 1t to
the end"

Frank r. Bradner, counsel for Oil,

cross-examine Oil about his alleged
trips to Cleveland and Columbus. o.
Chicago. New Mexico and Paris with
May Burns. the correspondent named

After making several futile att
tempts to open the channel. which
would permit this line of exaniina-

nesses contradicted much of the all
legations made by Mrs. Oil, but Mr.
Oil did not attempt to refute the
bulk of the testimony offered against
him.
AS Mr.. Oil was about to leave the
stand at the close of the hearing
yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Oil held
conference with her lawyer and the
