Cox Denies Boston Tale.
C. C. Cox, who was enormously de-
scribed as a former treasurer of the
Massachusetts State Committee in the
lobby investigation at Washington
yesterday, is the father of Alfred e.
Cox, of Maiden, who was chairman of
the Republican State finance commit
tee ten years ago. Colonel Martin
Mulhall was quoted as saying in his
testimony that c. c. Cox told him of
raising $4,000 in and about Boston for
the fight for congressman Littleheld,
of Maine, and against Samuel Com
pers.
The younger Cox, whose firm is a
member of the National Manufactur-
ers' Association. said today: IT knew
Colonel Mulhall when he came on to
Boston. / don't remember any such
thing as he states. / never knew him
while / was chairman of the finance
committee of the State committee 1t
was not until some time afterward that
I met him. I did not know him as a
politician; only in connection with the
National Manufacturers Association,
of which our firm are members. My
father. c. c. Cox, was never treasurer
of the Republican State Committee or
anything like it."

facturers," replied Mulhall. 'They
We're trying to bride Gompers at that
time" The committee did not ask
for a further explanation.
Mulhall went to st. Louis in Oc-
tober, 1907, to settle a strike of $4,000
shoe workers.
"Schwedtman told me to approach
the head of the strikers, man named
Frank. The sum of $4,000 had been
put in my hands to get Frank to call
the strike off in a certain time. If
he was successful he was to be
paid the money. The strike was
called off two days later than was
suggested and / turned the money
back to Schwedtman and Frank was
