There was a. marked ab- sence of confusion. The old timers said it looked almost as tame as four years ago.

 Many women delegates and alter mates were on the floor.
 The sea ating arrangeme ents were all together different from what they were four years ago. In the front rows were delegations from Califor- mia, North Dakota, Arkansas, Con- necticut, Colorado and Virginia.

HAYS SAYS C. 0. P. MAY
ASK STILL LARGER FUND
But Chairman Denies CoN's Charge
That Republicans Arc Buy
ing Presidency.

AUGUSTA, MAINE. August 21.-
Will H. Hays. chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee, today
| opened his party's campaign in this
state for election OF members OF
Congress with speech in which he
asserted that Governor Cox WAS do
| mated by President Wilson and four
unnamed bosses"
The Democratic candidate appeals
to both the Wilson and the anti
Wilson factions of his party" de-
clared Mr.. Hays. ITO the former he
| holds forth the Presidents platform.
To the latter he exhibits himself as
an advocate of complete change in
administration. lie offers to the
country for foreign use the Wilson
covenant and for domestic service
Tammanp Ilall-truly marvellous
combination of impotence and ill-.e-
pute."
Mr.. Hays devoted much of his
speech to discussing campaign funds,
denying vigorously that the Rcpui-
lican party planned to cxpend ex-
cessive sums to elect Senator Hard
ing and Governor Coolidge.
Also denying that millions had
gone into the Republican treasury"
from certain interests banded to-
gether to buy the prcsidcncy"-a
statement which he credited to Gov
crnor Cox-Mr. Hays declared this
amounted TO charge OF conspiracy
TO betray the country.
Referring 10 the Republican plan
to limit individual campaign contri-
butions to $1,000. MIR. Hays said: IF
'his attempt should fail to produce
inc requisite sums wo shall SO state
puhlicly. increase the maximum and
seek additional contributions"
Decaring that the party needed
