LEAK HEARINGS
BEGIN TUESDAY
AND Be PUBLIC
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Jan. .20.-Sweeplng
aside all collateral issues, the house
rules committee, conducting the leak
inquiry. will begin public hearings
Tuesday at New York to determine
whether anyone profited in Wall street
as a result of advance information on
President Wilson's peace note.
when this feature of the inquiry has
been fully disposed Of and not until
then, it is declared, the inquiry will eX-
tend into other phases of the leak
rumors and every one of them, regard
less of its vagueness, will be run down.
The committee expects to confine the
hearings at New York specifically to
the subject of advance information and
members say there is little possibility
that the inquiry will be broadened to
embrace a complete investigation OF
the stock exchange as urged by Thomas
W. Lawson and others.
Sherman L. Whipple, of Boston, was
formally retained by the committee to-
day as its counsel, and will assume ac-
tive charge of the New York hearings
and those that are to follow. He was
selected for the place Thursday and
when he conferred with the committee
today details of his retention was set
tied quickly. He accepted, with the
understanding that the committee
should fix the amount of his compensa-
ton later, and that he would be given
a free hand in directing the inquiry. A
suggestion that hearings be opened in
New York in order ito get to the heart
of the leak first" was quickly ac-
cepted and then the committee told Mr..
Whipple to proceed with his work
along his own lines, with the assur-
ance of its unqualified support
Transfer of the hearings to New York
was arranged in order to facilitate
them. Most of the witnesses and rec
ords to be examined are there, and as
new angles develop more witnesses
from the stock exchange doubtless will
be called in. Every member of the
committee is anxious to finish the in
quiry as soon as possible. but none OF
them think it will be completed much
before expiration of the twenty seven
