SAYS DEMOCRATS GET
$S7 500 FROM BRITISH
Charge Made by Congressman
Britten is Secuted in
Washington.

Chicago, Aug 25.-Direct charges
that the British Government has helped
and would help further in financing
the Democratic national campaign we're
made yesterday in a statement by Con-
gresham Fred A. Britten of the Ninth
Illinois District in a statement given out
at Republican national headquarters hero.
Congressman Britten in his statement
declared that the facts concerning the
alleged British contribution would be
brought out in the investigation to be
held by the Senate subcommittee head
ed by Senator Kenyon of Iowa.
''The pending Investigation will show"
he says in his statement, that the British
Parliament recently appropriated $S7,-
500 in favor of the British Ambassador
at Washington for entertainment pur-
poses and that this fund has already
found its way to the Democratic National
Committee, where it will no doubt be
followed by ten times that amount should
1T be made evident that this new disciple
Of Wilson can win with money rather than
on honest issues"
Congressman Brittcn predicted in the
statement that the investigation would
prove beyond a doubt that the repeated
assertions of Governor Cox about a $l5,-
100000 Republican fund are without
foundation and that the Governor is
playing peanut politics far beneath the
dignity Of the office to which he aspires. 7"
Washington, Aug. 25.-Nobody in
authority at the British Embassy could
be found last night when efforts were
made to obtain embassy comment on the
charge of Congressman Britten of ILL.,
nois that an entertainment fund of $S7,-
500 allotted to the embassy by the Brit
ish Parliament had found its way into
the Democratic National COMMITTEES"
Sir Auckland Geddes, the British Am
bassador, is in st. Louis.
The few persons in Washington who
learned yesterday evening Of Congressman
Britten's charge said that it was silly,
1t is considered certain that il will not
be taken seriously even by partisan Re-
publicans.
