New Haven, Conn.,, Aug. 27.-At- tack on republican campaign con- tributions was renewed here today by Governor James M. Cox, demo- cratic presidential candidate, in a number of addresses opening his New England campaign.
 That he had proved his charges, in his Pittsburgh address last night, Of the assembling of $15,OOO,OO "cor- ruption fund" by the republicans was asserted by Governor Cox and he declared he would continue "rub- ping that sore spot" until election day. He withheld, however, any further evidence in support of his charges.
 The first "break in the republi- can line" Governor Cox declared dur ing the course of four speeches here, was the republican proposal for 6 separate peace with Germany.
 "Ihe second break in the lines came last night at Pittsburgh" he continued. "They have been going along gathering the largest campaign fund ever known in the history of government in all the world. No one ever dreamed of getting such sum- rms year the chairman of the repub llcan campaign committee has set to work great force of men. state chairman, local chairman, and work CTS that he designates as the "monev d1ggers' of the republican party"
 Governor Cox stated that Will IT Hays, republican national chairman. had denied the charges of a $15,o0o,- oO0 fund and declared that the fund would be only $3,OOO,OOO, while n 1ew days later the governor said Fred W. Upham, republican treasurer multiplied MT. Hays by two and one half times" by stating that the fund would be $7,OOO,OOO.
 Tn my Pittsburgh speech last night" the candidate added. ~T nave demonstrated to the satisfac- tlon of every unprejudiced voter in the country that we were justified in multiplying MT. Upham's figures bv two." "
 I repeat that the republican fund -tne corruption fund-will be not less than $15,00O,OOO. We will not attempt to match their dollars"
 Governor Cox also made state :. ment commenting on MT. Upham,s denial of his charges. After reading statement from MT. Upham that the $8,145,00O contribution quota !lst presented by the candidate at Pittsburgh was "phony" Governor Cox said:
 "The senate committee can fini out perfectly we'll who attended tb;s meeting at which these lists were distributed by the republican lead CTS. It is a matter that can be got at Tn a perfectly simple way.
 another thing that I don't under stand is why Mir. Harding and MT. Hays are not coming forward with some explanation of why this quota list was kept secret"
 Almost from the moment of hi. arrival here Governor Cox durinp Q day of bustling campaigning, started hammering at republican finances. He made four addresses and in all of| them except one-that at a soldiers, hospital-he denounced the republi- can campaign.
 Tonight he addressed a democra- tlc ratification" dinner at Savin Rock, and later public meeting here AL all he was received with enthus- lasm. Besides his criticism of the republican contributions the eover- nor in all of his addresses urged vigorously the entrance of America into the league of nations and to his at Savin Rock, he made what his auditors regarded as a ref erence to the question of Irish free. dom' the first of his campaign.
 In pleading for the league. Cover nor Cox stated that it was but for ward by President Wilson in the iatter's delineation of the "fourteen points," one of which was "self de- of free peoples"
