The attention of the committee yes
terday was devoted almost entirely
to the activities of workers connect
ed with the Wood campaign with a
few sidelights on the tangled Mis-
souri, situation. The evidence of the
huge financial outlay in behalf Of
several of the candidates which the
committee has already received
caused Senator Atlee Pomerene, of
Ohio, to introduce a resolution in
the Senate providing for investiga-
ton after the adjournment of the
Democratic National committee and
before the November election. the
receipts and expenditures of the sew
eral political committees. and the re-

Two Wood witnesses examined

Colonel William Cooper Proctor and
Charles III. Duell. of New York, who
was connected with the finances of
the Wood campaign during the time
that John T. King of Connections

Says Wood Sat in Fund Farley.
The most surprising information n
obtained by the committee was that
Geeral Wood personally participated
in several conferences at that time
in which the raising of a campaign
fund as large as one million dollars
was freely discussed.
Mr.. Duell. who gave the commit
tee this testimony, also said that il
was Ambrose Mcneil. of New York,
who originated the idea of having
men of large means underwrite the
Wood campaign to the extent of a
million dollars. a charge which was
made more than two months ago.
The name of Robert X. Cassatt. of
Philadelphia, also was brought into
the hearing by Mr.. Duell as having
been approached by Mr.. Mcneil in
an effort to have him raise $500, 100
