CHICAGO Sept. Edmund II. Moore
vii, have a chance next Tuesday to
tl the Kenyon committee all he
novs and all Gov. Cox knows about
hc Republican financial campaign.
H. WIS ready to testify this morning,
to, the committee adjourned to next
Tuesday and then in conference de-
c5od TO hear him as the first witness
on that day
The reason given for delaying the
testimony of the man who was sent
tsrc by Gov. Cox after the managers
Of the Democratic campaign had failed
70 support the nominees charge Of a
sjO0O,OO0 fund and a conspiracy Of
sinister interests" TO buy the election,
vas that the members OF the Senate
committee had engagements at home,
including Labor Day speeches. Sena-
TOR spencer, Republican, started for
S,. Louis last night, which left the
mmitte" standing politically two to
two Chairman Kenyon has a date In
iowa and Senator Edge in New Jersey.
Lest II he thought that the Repub-
can members were trying TO avoid
caring Mr. Moore. Senator Reed.
I omoulat, said he aud senator Pom.
rene aSsented to the postponement.
Mr.. Moore readily acQuiesced. Had
le testified to-day he would have had
20 give the names Of men who, he says,
can supply actual proof of Gov. Cox's
sserfions. It was apparent that ne
md ms friends" on the committee,
Reed and Pomerene. were quite will
lug that these names should not be
made public until the men were sub
loenaed and sworn as witnesses.
Does Not Promise Proof.
senator Reed told the correspondent
THE Sr& AND New YORK HERALD
'1l. IT, was satisfied with the adjourn
l..s, 'o neat week, as lie could go home
nd epen his mail Mr. Moore said he
WIS not particularly desirous' OF tes-
'f'ag to-day.
IL is impossible to say what, II any
thing Mr. Moore has up his sleeve. His
tai, outside the hearing to-day reminded
on~ n its seeming positiveness, but
tosueuess under analysis, of the rhetoric
~ Gov Cox himself. He did not con-
t-ri uowever, that he could prove the
Cox charges. He merely said:
I am ready and willing 70 testify and
can furnish the ground work. to prove
thc charge that the Republicans had
formulated a plan to raise s15,000,000."
The committee has had no end OF
ground work. What IL Is looking for
,s Senator Kenyon repeatedly has said
w the hearings. is some one who actually
.Hows whether the charges are true OF
false
Here is what Mr.. Moore says. in ad-
dt.on to the foregoing quotation:
For the purpose of raising a cam
ragu fund of SIS 100000 the Repub.
Leans divided the country into regions

pald field agents, OF whom Harry n
Blair. professional money raiser, wa:
placed in charge. The committee has moi
called one of these. 1t has not called

Hair To Re Called Tuesday.
AIr. Blair is assistant treasurer oi
The Republican National Committee. Ii
the hearing to-day Senator Reed called
Tor him A clerk telephoned to Republican
aeadquarters, and then told Senator
Reed the answer was that Blair would
send an auditor. Mr.. Reed said:
