 Lawson again brought the names of Secretary Lansing, Count Won Bernstorff and Bernard Baruch into his testimony, as the men Chairman Henry had told him he had heard Teak" rumors about, and elaborated on his story told yester- day regarding Henry's alleged statements concerning them.
 In that connection, in answer to in quiries by Representative Garret as to what Henry told him about "a cabinet member, a member of Congress and a banker" Lawson said he never had as serted that Henry had told him anything about Secretary McAdoo, the mysterious Senator o" and H. Pliny Fisk. The cabinet member Henry spoke of, Lawson said, was MT. Lansing, and the banker, MT. Baruch.
 The fact thae Baruch is ''speculator and investor" and not banker, had led to a misunderstanding in the committee regarding Lawson's previous testimony. Information, MT. Lawson said, which he heard in regard to McAdoo, Fisk and Senator O. came from another source which he did not reveal.
