 Calling on all candidates to tell the country voluntarily how much they were spending and where 1t was com ing from, Senator Borah citeG news paper report sthat the Wool promoters had pledged a campaign fund of s1,0o0.000. that testimonials" endors- ing General Wood were being bought in Indiana for s2.50 each, and that every vote cast for/ the Wood or Lowden candidates in the recent South Dakota primaries represented an ex- penditure of $10.

VICE HUNT' LEADER
 ACCUSED IF OPENING
 4 GAMBLING HOUSE

NEW YORK. March 26.-New Yorl<'s vice hunt, being conducted by Assistant District Attorney James E. Smith, took a new turn tonight when Commissioner of Accounts Hirshfield made public information to the effect that Mir. Smith himself had opened a gambling house known as the Civitas club and had told his partner that he would -close up list of three poker houses around here and make them come to us"
 This '.information," according to Hirshfield, had been obtained from Harry A. Goldwater, Smiths alleged partner, in an investigation conducted in 1918 by the commissioner of ac- counts and resumed today.
 Hirshfield's action followed that fast night of Police Inspector Dominick Henry in making public six affidavits filed with Police Commissioner En- right charging Smith had sought pro- lection for certain disorderly houses and gambling resorts. Henry's dis trict, embracing the "Tenderloin," is under fire from the district attorneys s office
 Mr Smith. who has denounced Herry's charges as a pack of lies" to- night said of the Hirshfieid statement that he was a member of the Civitas club until 1916. but that while he was member it was strictly a political club He denied all of Goldwster's $ testimony as absolutely false and de- nopnced Commissioner Hirsilfie.d "as ono of the gang who is trying to pro- toct gambling in this city"
 Publication of the Henry charges led today to many conferences. One result was an announcement tonight that the extraordinary grand jury which, for some time, has been investi- gating certain members of the district attorneys office, would take up the Alterations This announce ment was made by Foreman Raymond F. Almirall.

DANIELS BLAMED FUR NAVY'S LACK
 IF MEN IN 1917
[RepubIican A. p. Leased wire]


 WASHINGTON, March 26.-Two naval officers-Rear Admiral c. P. Plunkett and Captain J. K. Taussig-- testified today before the senate in- vestigating committee that for two years prior to the entrance of the United States into the war, Secretary Daniels steadfastly refused to approve an increase in personnel and the navy department generally attempted to suppress reports of a man power short age. During the war both Admiral Plunkett and Captain Taussig served with the Atlantic fleet destroyer force, the former as commander.
 Admiral Plunkett declared he argued with Secretary Daniels on the personnel question for two years with out making an impression" Captain Taussig said the navy departments at titude regarding personnel was ''one of unpreparedneSs rather than pre- paredness." The recommendation of Admiral Dewey as head of the general board for a large increase in enlisted strength was turned down, said Cap tain Taussig.
 Asked regarding the condition of the fleet in April 1917, Admiral Plunkett said the ships in commission were in as good condition as could be expected, ' but shortage of men and constant changes in gun crews had greatly in- terfered with gunnery efficiency and had prevented sending to sea many ships which should have been in full commission.
 The United States and not Germany would be paying indemnities now if this country had faced Germany on the sea in 1914, Admiral Plunxett declared. He added incidentally that the Germans by their superior gunnery turned the British on their heads at the battle of Jutland.
