Inquiry into the charges Of Col" Null
hail by the Senatorial Investigators OF
the lobby will not be pursued until the
week beginning July IA. This is quite
contrary to what had been the general
impression when the Mulhall charges
were first given publicity. But Chairman
OverE,an yesterday made the announce
ment that the sugar and wool Hobbies en-
gagged in fighting out the tariff question
before Congress would receive first at
tention from the committee.
At today's session the committee hopes
to complete the inquiry provided for by
the recent Norris resolution. Davio
Lamar. Wall Street operator. who had
been mentioned by Edward Lauterbach
in his last weeks testimony as his prin-
cipal in a number of financial activities,
was summoned Monday night, as also
were Attorneys Lewis Cass Ledyard,
Maxweu Evarts. and Paul d. Cravath.
Otto Kahn. of the firm Of Kuhn. Loeb
& Co., also received a Geographic sub
poena. but there is a possibility that he
will De excused from appearing owing to
the Illness of his wife. The examination
of the Union Pacific attorneys and Mr.
Lamar, 1t Is thought by Chairman Over
man. can be completed today. 1t surely
can be completed in two days. and it may
be that there will be a second sitting of
the committee tomorrow morning to
Clean up on the Union Pacific case.
An additional reason for the commit
tees decision to clean up on the two
most important phases of the tarin lobby
before going ahead with the in
vestigation Of the Mulhall broadside Is
the doubt as to the exact intentions OF
the House OF Representatives with re-
gard to its own investigation OF the Null
hall allegations.
There will be dennite outlining OF
House politics today. when, at the open
ing session, Representative Sherley OIL
rising to the question of per-
sonal privilege, will tell the House that
he Is unacquainted with Mr.. MulnaII;
that he has never been approached by
him or by any one else on penaIr OF the
National Association OF Manufacturers,
md that he demands an investigation OF
himself. Concluding his speech, which |
Mr.. Sherley promises will be of exceed 4!
ng gravity. he will introduce a resolu- |
ion calling for the appointment or a |
to investigate forthwith Mr.. !
Sheriey's personal Congressional career
'or the ten years that he has been a |
member of the House.
This resolution, OF course, will be sub
ect to amendment, and It Is believed
hat an amendment Will promptly De |
calling for a general investi-
yation OF all members of the House
whose names have been mentioned In
he Mulhall letters or the MuIhaIl state
nent.
