WHITMAN'S FAIR
TRIP TO Be SFTED
Court Orders Controller to
Audit Spending of
100000.

Eugene NJ. Travis, State Controller,
will have TO audit all the expenditures
under the 100000 appropriation for
the New York State Panama-Pacific
Exposition Commission. This includes
the disbursements for the trip or Gov
ernor Charles S. Whitman and party to
the exposition, which hitherto had not
been itemized in detail by the commits
sion.
The application made by Frederick
". Heinrich, of the Brooklyn Young
Republican Club, on August 5, for
peremptory writ of mandamus TO COM
pei the State Controller to audit all
the expenses of the state under the
100000 appropriation, was granted
yesterday by Justice Hasbrouch at
Kingston.
Mr.. Heinrich cited cases of alleged
illegitimate expenditure, giving the
names of the persons involved, the
dates and places where the money was
spent. and the total expenditure which
might be considered improper. The
petition called particular attention to
vouchers showing that Governor Whit
mans trip to California cost $20,76O
in transportation alone.

OWEN NAY HOLD UP
ADJOURNMENT PLANS
Declares Republicans Block Cor
rupt Practices Bill.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Republican
Senator'S were accused to-day by Sena-
tor Owen of deliberate effort to pre-
vent action before the November cleo
ton on his corrupt practices bill, which
would put strict limitations on cam
paign contributions. The Oklahoma
Senator announced that he would make
an insistent fight to bring up the meas
ure at this session, regardless of con-
sequences to early adjournment plans.
Mr. Owen declared that the existing
campaign contributions law was fraud
on the American people, charged that
the so-called lumber trust had sent
sac, COO into Oklahoma 10 defeat his re-
nomination because he voted TO deny
William Lorimer a seat in the Senate,
and. started a lively debate in which
Republicans and Democrats bitterly ac-
cused one another of planning to buy
the approaching election.
All the carefully laid plans Of Senate
leaders to make possible an adjourn
ment OF Congress late next week were
threatened when Senator Owen an
nounced that he was ready TO stay
here until winter to pass the bill IL Re-
publicans tried flibuster.

A new Women's Republican National
Committee is TO be organized, to have
exclusive charge of the votes OF the
Western women, according to informa-
ton Yesterday given out by Chairman
william r. Wilcox.
Through this act, Charles T.. Hughes
and the party Of which he is leader
will set the precedent OF turning over
the womans end Of political affairs
10 the women themselves. The Repub-
lican candidate for President Will
demonstrate his confidence in tho
women of the country by giving his
chances at 100000 votes into their
keeping. 1t is a very practical COM
pliment he is paying them.
To Have Full Authority.
Herbert Parsons and James r. Gar
field have the organization of the new
committee in charge. and it was said
yesterday that their plans for it are
not fully formulated. One thing, how
ever, has been fully determined upon:
The committee will be in authority
over the women's votes in the suffrage
states. II will make its own plans, and
carry on it's own campaign, in conJunc-
ton with the Republican National
Committee. Republican leaders believe
that none can deal more efficiently with

He preferred TO get the cash from the

Duffy said to-day that the manufac-

WOMEN ACTIVE
IN HIS CAUSE
Nominee Warmly Greeted
as He Answers
Criticisms.
BY RAY ii LEX.

Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. 24.-ln this
stronghold Of Mormonism and equal
suffrage Charles Z. Hughes's vigorous
Endorsement of votes for women is
credited with gaining him more politi..
cal strength than in any other part Oh
the country. While wives do not make
up the bulk of the best families here, as
is sometimes imagined in the East, the
women have possessed the voting privi-
lege for wears, are thoroughly organ
lied and have shown that they know
how 10 work together for those who are
aiding their more militant but less IA
yored sisters in other states.
To-night's meeting, which was attend
ed by a generous proportion OF women
voters, was sufficient evidence OF the
businesslike attitude Of the women,
who take their politics as serious OBJ
legation. Delegations of women voters
met Mr.. Hughes, discussed issues with
him, and assured him that their or
CARNATIONS were doing all in their
power to aid his candidacy.
At to-night's meeting, as in many
meetings of the last three days, Mr.
Hughes discussed constructive policies
rather than the flaws Of the wilson ad-
ministration. Recent citicisms or OPP
ponents, in which il was declared that
Mr.. Hughes was tearing down and offer
ing nothing as a substitute for Wilson
policies, were answered in few SEN
fences.

forms that scarcely can De questioned

Hughes said 81 stand for a Mexican

eminent that will give US expert service

BAKER PRAISES
WILSON POLICIES
"Bloodless Victories" Won
in Mexico, He
Says.

Waterville, Me-, Aug. 24.-Vigorous
praise for the Administrator Euro
mean and Mexican policies marked the
address here tonight of Secretary OF
War Newton d. Baker. The Presidents
course, Mr.. Baker said, "has INFUSED the
spirit of the Declaration OF lndepen-
dene and of the golden rule" into THIS
country's foreign relations. -.
"rhe Administration OF President
Wilson has followed a consistent pro-
qramme in its domestic legislation Mr..
BAKER declared. at has procured the
enactment Of laws more wholesome and
beneficial than perhaps can be credited
in the aggregate to the administrations
which have interviewed since the Clvll
War. II has refused to allow Itself TO
be turned aside by foreign violence
from the accomplishment OF It's great
programme. A..
''The Administration has kept the
peace. 1t has done unto Mexico as we
would be done by. Ii has maintained
friendly relations with the European
bellieerents and placed this country
in a position from which, when the
end of the struggle comes, the moral
forces of the United States can be eX-
ercised in the interests OF justice ana
humanity.
Large problems lie before US in the
next four years. The reconstruction
must take place. No unfamiliar hand
should be put in to guide the course
of our nation during that period"
After reviewing the developments OF
Mexican unrest, which. he pointed out
began long before Woodrow Wilson
became President, Mr.. Baker contin-
ued:
"The long and troubled course Of OUT
dealing with Mexico has been because
both President Taft and President Will
son believed that nation loving jus
tice could not extend its favor to this
medieval despot (Huerta), cast W
with all Of his villanies upon his head
as hotsam by the waters of revolu'
ton otherwise hopeful and pure as tc
it's object"
Mr.. Baker hoped the American sol
diers on the Texas border might not be
required TO fire another shot, "but that
their ultimate victory and the restora.
ton of peace and contentment and
prosperity in Northern Mexico may
come as the climax to series of blood.
less victories"
