of the manner in which the funds COL
lected upstate were turned over TO
the Tammany powers in New York,
and it is believed that these same up
state bosses would be particularly lib

District Attorney Whitman was
asked last night whether there were
any Of the men named by Hennessy
who would not be welcomed as wit
nesses or who would not be permitted
to testify.
II cannot, of course, say at this
time" he replied. But if the infor-

to any one who might subsequently, be
shown to have a criminal connection

Pressed as to whether any person,
other than candidates or treasurers OF

others might be involved under con-
spiracy charges.
In the original records from the
office of the Secretary Of State, iden-
tilted and filed as a part Of the record
in the inquiry yesterday by William
D. Embree, the contributions of some
of the politicians took on a new light
in view Of the sworn statement Of
Hennessy that large contributions by
men closely affiliated with the Tam
many organization were always listed

tons from contractors and others who
were forced to give up on a regular
percentage arrangement, based on the
amount of state work contracts which
they held.
