DENIES SPECU-
LATING WITH
CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Governor Sulzer Also Says He Never
Heard of Two Stock Brokerage
Firms Mentioned in the Frowley
Investigation.

Albany, n. Y, Aug. ll.-After long
conference last night with some of his
close political advisors, Governor Sulzer
issued short statement denying abso-
lutely that he ever used campaign funds
for speculative purposes. He says he
never heard of the stock brokerage
firms of Fuller & Gray and Boyer &
Griswold, alleged transactions with
which figured largely in the testimony
before the Frawley legislative commit
tee, until these names were brought out
before the committee.
The governor admits he did apply
certain campaign contributions to his
personal use, but adds that he made the
amounts good. He also admits having
had transactions with the stock firm of
Harris & Fuller, but insists that his ac-
count with this firm was not speculative
and consisted of loan of stock and col
lateral. He denies that he ever specu-
lated in Wall street.
The statement was given out by Clics-
ter @. Platt, the governors secretary.
Among those present at the conference
were Louis Marshall, John A. Hennessy,
Louis Sarecky and Mr.. Platt. The state
ment follows:
'In view of the fact that the Fraw
ley committee is about to make its re-
port of the investigation it has been
making, | am advised that 1t would be
unwise for me at this time to make any
detailed statement in reply to the mat
ters that had been brought to the at
tention of that committee, but having
promised that / would furnish the press
a statement, in fulfillment of that
promise, l make the following brief re.
ply to the matters that / am informed
had been brought before such commit
tee.
81 deny that l used any campaign con-
tributions for personal use.
81 deny that speculated in Wall
street or used money contributed for
campaign purposes to buy stock in my
own name or otherwise.
81 never had an account with Fuller 4
Gray, or Boyer & Griswold | never
heard of these firms; do not know the
members; and knew nothing about the
transactions with these firms testified
to before the Frawley COMMITTEES until
recently threatened with exposure, and
my attention by the Fraw1ey commit
tee.
"The stock matter with Harris & Full
Ter was not a speculative account or
matter. but loan made upon stock as
collateral which stocks had been ac-
quired and paid for years before my
nomination for the office of governor,
and from other sources than Harris &
Fuller.
Certain checks given to me for cam
paign purposes were deposited TO my
personal account, and thereafter | paid
the amount of said checks to my cam
paign committee.
''In filing my statement of receipts
and disbursements with the secrrtary of
state ! relied upon information fur
nished me by the persons in immediate
charge of my campaign, and in whom /
mad and have the most implicit conf
dence and ] believe the statement fur
nished by them to me to be accurate
and true"

NO ONE INJURED.
When James Ahern's Car Sddded and
Tipped on Side.

Near Lake Caspian at Greensboro yes
terday, Buick touring car driven by
James Ahern of East street, this city,
nearly turned turtle In the middle of a
rather sharp incline on the road that
leads from the lake. With Mr.. Ahern in
the machine were members of his fam
lily and when the car began to skid along
slippery place in the highway it was
with considerable difficulty that they re-
tanned their seats. Before the driver
could return his car to the middle of
the road it had turned over on one side,
piling the occupants into the lower cor
ners of the seats. No one was injured.
The car sustained but little damage and
repairs made later in the day enabled

J. X. PIRIE QUARRY
BADLY CRIPPLED
Engine House Destroyed BY Fire Satur-
day Night, Causing Alme SOM
plete Suspension cs
There IS

A hard blow wa = ne J.K. Pirie
Dark Barre" saturday night,
when fire con- g destroyed the main
engine house IL all the power was
generated to orerate the quarry. The
origin of the fire is not known. The loss
is $4,000, with an insurance of $4,000.
The building was a story and half
high, with dimensions Of 30 by 36 feet
With it were destroyed Sullivan Ma
chine Co. air compressor with a capacity
Of $50 cubic feet of air, Mead -Morri-
son stationary engine, six barrels of
oil, quantity of fuel pumps, pneumat-
ic tools and other quarrying implements.
The owner, j. X. Pirie, was at Highgate
Springs, and was notified of the fire
yesterday morning, returning to Barre
last evening.
By the destruction of the big air com
pressor all means of furnishing power to
operate the quarry were lost, throwing
about 40 men out of employment until
such time as new engine and compress
sor building can be restored. The ees-
sation of quarrying activities through
the loss of power comes at the busiest
period of the most prosperous year Barre
quarry owners have ever known. The
Pirie quarry had large stock orders, hay-
ing good months advance orders on
hand. The interruption of the Pirie
quarry will not only be felt keenly by
the quarrying concern but by local gran
ite manufacturers, who have orders for
work to be cut out of this stock.
The fire was first discovered by Miss
Elsie Pirie, daughter of j. X. Pirie, who
was walking within sight of the quarry
property about 7;30. She hastened to
her home about third of mile away
and sent warning abroad James G. Pr
lie, who was in Barre at the time, was
notified A coterie of volunteer fighters,
who responded mostly from Graniteville,
were soon on the scene.
The fire had made good headway ow-
ing to the secluded spot in which the
structure was located From a large
tank above the building efforts were
made to quench the flames, but were
practically futile. When Superintendent
Pirie put in an appearance he snapped
the pipes, permitting the water to gush
down upon the building Mr.. Pirie
seemed to be of the opinion had this
been done in the first place the air COM
pressor might have been salvaged. Ow-
ing to the lack of fire fighting equip
ment, the building was easy prey to
the flames and within an hour was razed
to the ground. Men guarded the ruins
until early morning to prevent further
damage to the quarry property. The
of the quarrying concern
have started plans to restore the COM
pressor room and work will be COM
menced Immediately. Before the COM
pressor and engine can be completely
installed about two or three weeks will
have elapsed. In the meantime Mr., Pirie
win be able to operate only his derrieks
from the hosting rooms, which are oper
ated BY a large engine. Employment
will be found by but small fraction OF
his regular forces in following the der
ricks. When the new compressor room
is complete it win be equipped with the
most modern and up-to-date machinery.

NOW AWAIT REPORT
FROM JOHN LIND
United States Not Ready to Announce
Any Further Policy in Regard
to Mexico

Washington, d. c., Aug. ll.--With the
arrival in Mexico City of John Lind, per-
sonal representative of President Wilson,
administration officials declared that
no further steps would be taken in car
rying out the policy of the United States
toward Mexico until Mr.. Lind had made
a careful study OF the general situation
there.
While the president has mapped out
a distinct course of action about which
strict secrecy is being maintained, it is
known that the instructions to be sent
Mr.. Lind from time to time will depend
largely on developments in the Mexican
capital in the next few weeks.
Mr.. Lind will make all his recon-
mendations to Charge O'Shaughnessy, SO
that whatever representations are trans
mitted by the latter to the Huerta gov
ernment will differ in no way from the
notes the American government has hith-
erto addressed to the de facto authori-
ties in the Mexican capital. Mr.. Lind's
connection with them, it was added,
would not be apparent. His mission, it
was explained, is to substitute unoffi-
cially for Ambassador Henry Lane Will
son, whose personal views of the Mexi-
can controversy were so pronounced as
to make it embarrassing for the ad-
ministration here to communicate them
through him
Further enlightenment as to the er-
rand of Mr.. Lind and his policy which
the president has formed came last night
from Senator Bacon, chairman of the
Senate committee on foreign relations,
who declared that President Wilson was
facing "a great responsibility" in the
present situation and had the hearty
support and cooperation, not only of
the foreign relations committee, but of
members of the Senate generally, re-
gardless of party lines. To explain va
rious interpretations of Saturday nights
conference between the president and the
foreign relations committee, Senator Ba-
con made the following statement:
Sen. Bacon Explains.
"The foreign relations committee rec
ognizes that the president is acting in
good faith in trying to solve this prob
lem peacefully. The presidents under
taking is with that in view, and in that
general purpose the committee are in ae-
cord and have confidence in his sincerity
and integrity. They recognize that he
