MOORE NOT ALLOW'D!
TO OFFER PROOF
COMMITTEE QUITS VERY UN-
EXPECTEDLY.
Governor Cox's Right Hand Man
Called at Request of Demo-
cratic Members.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-Democratic
witnesses today were unable to pre-
sent to the senate committee inves-
tigating campaign expenditures the
data on which Gov. James M. Cox
based his charges of s15,oO0,000
Republican campaign fund because
of the adjournment Of the commit
tee until Tuesday.
At the request of Senators Reed
and Pomerene, the Democratic men,
bers, Chairman Kenyon tonight is
sued list of subpoenas for wit
nesses, chief of whom is Edmund H.
Moore of Youngstown, Ohio, Cover
nor Cox's personal representative.
Mr.. Moore was here today for the
announced purpose Of presenting to
the committee all the data in Cover
nor Cox's hands regarding campaign
expenditures, but he was not called
during the brief session.
Several of the subpoenas issued
were withheld from publication at the
request of Senators Reed and Pom
creme, the latter of whom returned
to Chicago today from Columbus,
where he conferred with Governor
Cox and Mr.. Moore.
Republicans Called.
Among those made pubic were slx
Republican leaders, including Harry
M. BAir of Marion, Ohio, assistant
to Fred w. Upham, Republican ma
tional treasurer. The others are!
Dudley S. Blossom, Cleveland; Gar
rett Kinney, Chicago; Walter. S.
Dickey, Kansas City, Mo-; John }.
Bryson, Brazil, Ind, and P. G. Gar
rett of Kentucky. They are chair
men of the Republican ways and
means committees in their respec-
tive states, charged with apportion-
ing the Republican budget within
their territories.
The six Republicans were called at
the request of Senator Reed, who an
nounced he wanted to find out how
Treasure rer Upham's fund collecting
machinery was functioning in repre-
sentative states.
Decision of the committee to recess
today to permit members to keep
weekend speaking engagements was
unexpected. Mr.. Moore had appeared
to take the stand and had told news
paper men he expected to present
documents in support of Governor
Cox's charges that millions were flow
ing into the Republican campaign !,
chest.
The committee heard Senator
Miles Poindexter Of Washington and
;SI1ssrman Hencke, treasurer of the Ma
tional Young Mems Republican
league, and then adjourned.
''Quit the Party
Mr.. Moore told newspaper men he
would attempt to prove that the Re-
publican leaders had publicly an
nounce d last January that they
planned to raise s16,0o0,000 cam
paign fund and had boasted of it. He
also declared $4,000 had been raised
in Atlanta, Ga, prior to June ID, by
a man who later ''became so dis
gusted when Senator Warren G.
Harding was nominated that he quit
the party" Mr.. Upham testified
earlier in the week that the quota
Of the entire state of Georgia was
$4,000 and said that $2,05S was al
that had been raised.
Failure to hear all witnesses here
today upset the committees plan to
meet in Pittsburgh next week and in
auire into charges that the liquor
interests there had assisted Attor-
ney General Palmer's campaign for
the Democratic nomination for pres
ident. That plan, however, has not
been dropped. and Senator Kenyon
said before leaving Chicago tonight
that the committee would go to Pitts
burgh, probably as soon as it heard
the witnesses subpoenaed here.
