GOVERNORS MEET TODAY
 COX DENIES HAYS ACCUSATION
FoIlowiing Cox
[RepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wirel

COLUMBUS, ohio, Aug. 3o.-An- swering testimony of Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican national committee, before the senate sub committee Investigating campaign ex- penditures in Chicago today, Governor Cox declared tonight that "the vets have not contributed a dollar to my campaign and they will not.'' The gov ernor added that neither had the ''drys" contributed.
 The governors statement was made after reading newspaper accounts of Chairman Hays read a letter purport-
 ing to be from G. T. Carroll, president of the New Jersey federation of liquor interests, asking for contributions to help elect Cox.
 Ut is very well understood in this state in particular" Governor Cox said that the vets have not been active in politics for some time. Official reports to the secretary of state show that in the last year or two the vets appar- ently have not been able to make large campaign contributions for wet refer endums If Mir. Hays will take the time to investigate the official reports in Ohio he will find that the vets never have contributed a cent to any of my campaigns"
 The governor declared any slam to the effect that the vets are contribut- ing to his campaign to be absurd on it's face adding that he only made re- ply because silence might be miscon- strued"
 The governor returned today from his eastern tour. He will speak at the Ohio state fair tomorrow afternoon on agriculture. He stated that he is pre- pairing a statement on "the last plan, meaning the plan for a world court of justice recently outlined by Senator Harding. The governor said he had been informed by a "close political ob- server" that the league of nations has "overrun party lines"
 Governor Cox said he was surprised to see the general interest in politics displayed so early in New York as it generally is the custom of New Workers to forget politics until after Labor day.
 The governor said he had no com fnent to make on the attitude of organ ized labor toward his candidacy as expressed by President Gompers and other labor officers.

RAILROADS WILL
 OPERATE ON OWN EARNINGS AGAIN
Operating Guarantee for Six
 Month Period Cost Gov ernment One Hundred
 Million Dollars
IRepuhIiean A. p. Leased WlreI

WASHINGTON. Aug. 30--Railroads of the country will begin operation on their own resources tomorrow night after having cost the government ap- proximately S1O0,000.000 monthly for the six months in which their earn fngs were guaranteed by the transpor- tation act The carriers will be al- lowed further aid from the govern ment only through loans from revolv- ing funds.
 Earnings of the roads will fall about $500, GOO, 900 below their-standard return. for the period since March 1, accord ing to estimates today by the bureau of railway economies. Fewer than half a score of lines have produced revenue sufficient to equal actual operating expenses, which does not in clude the fixed charges of interest. taxes and dividends. Definite figures on the cost to the government of the earnings guaranteed by the transpor- tation act will not be known for sev- eral months.
 Most of the roads have indicated al ready that they will have money com ing to them as a result of the guar antee. The treasury has received dozens of certifications for advances under the guarantee within the last ten days and more are expected tomorrow, Secretary Houston said. If the roads do not ask for an advance against probable deficits before tomorrow night they must wait for a final com pilation of the sums the government owes them.
 or the 1.194 lines of consequence in
 the country. 667 have accepted the governments proposal for division of the surplus above the standard re- turn and guarantee of earnings should the revenues fall short. All Of these accepting the proposal will be entitled to q final adjustment of ac- counts by the treasury and payment where the revenues were below the guaranteed amounts.
 In the first four months of the guar
 antee period. March, April, May and June. railroad revenues topped actual | expenditures for operation only once ] The March revenues represented a net return of $12,700.000, while there were I deficits of S29, 900 in April, $11.- 1 S0o.000 in May and S7,5O0, in June. Julius H. Parmaiee. director of the 1 bureau of railway economies, estimate:
 a deficit for July and August, basing
 his calculations on the results of the same months last year. Traffic in I those two months esta blished a record l for volume yet the lines were able tC produce revenues O. only s2,oO0. .00O and $l5.000, 900 respectively for July and August above the standard return oi S75,000,0 coo a month. Additional ex- 1 penses not yet accounted for, MT. Parmalee said, probably would cut down the revenues for the two months | The wage award, he said. would ado
 more than S50.00O, 900 to operating ex- l penses for each month while aboui $2o0,000,0o0 in back pay to employees will come out of the earnings of July
 and August unless the corporations
 have sufficient funds on hand to draw
 on reserve.

 Ask Men To Keep Pledge
 In refusing the request of the miners for accordance of the minority report, the president called attention to a res olution adopted by the miners in con- vention agreeing to accept the find~ ings of such a commission as he ap- pointed.
 "By all the laws of honor upon which civilization rests" the president. in his telegram to the miners added, that pledge should be fulfilled.
