Tumulty made the following state
ment:
II appear, before this committee to

sent to the European belligerents last
month by the secretary OF state. This
tntimation was contained in state
ment made to this committee by Rep
Wood, Of Indiana, q man
whom I don't know. To the best Of
my knowledge l have never met Mr..
Wood. Certainly he made no effort
to find out the truth from me before

officially that gave advance informa-

Cross questioned by Representative

hand in 1t.
Asked II he had been able to dis
cover any leak himself, Tumulty said
he had been unable to get any definite
information though he suggested that
the very fact that the note passed
through many hands, might explain
the idea Of a leak.
'T do not believe any OF the newspa-
per men violated confidence on Sec
retary Lansing's announcement about

see q newspaperman might tell
