specia. Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The Senate
sub comn,ittee investigating cam
paign expenditures, which has been
in session here this week, tonight
showed a strong desire to question
Governor James M. Cox in person.
This sentiment developed as a re-
suit Of the failure of the members
to-day to CLEAN from either George
Whit, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, Wilbur w.
Marsh, Democratic national treas
ufer, or W. 0. Jameson, financial
director Of the Democratic party,
any proof of the charges made
b. Governor Cox that the Repub-
l:cans were raising a $15,000,OOo
campaign fund to buy the Presi-
dency.
White admitted before tho COM
mittee that he had no evidence to
sustain Governor Cox's charges. He
said he believed the charges were
true, but that the only source from
which the evidence could be obtained
was from the Governor himself.
Announcement was made in Co.
lunlbus, Ohio, to-day that E. H.
Moore, pre-convention manager for
Cox, would come to Chicago to-mor-
row as the personal representative
Of the Ohio Governor, and would
bring evidence to support the Cox
charges.
May Meet Cox on Trip
1t is believed that if Moore's proof
Of the existence of a Republican
s!ush fund is unsatisfactory the
committee will wind up it's BUSINESS
here tomorrow and reconvene in
sorae other city. probably one in
which Governor Cox is to make a
campaign speech.
Chairman Kenyon. discussing Moore's
expected arrival. said:
Eve have listened to Mr.. White and
Mr. Marsh and other Democrats and
have failed as yet to learn the facts
IT Nj. Moore presents the facts, we'll
and good. However, as have said be-
fore, this committee is in a state of
watchfIl waiting. Should Mr.. Moore
!ail to present facts the committee
Will turn again to Governor Cox"
Senator Walter 4. Edge, Of New Jer-
&C.. one Of the members of the COM
mittce, said. "Chairman Whites tcsti-
nony to-day makes it apparent that
the only man that can substantiate the
tnarges o. Governor Cox is Governor
Cox himself, and he will be given full
opportunity to make good his charges
before this committee.
His statement relative to the rails
ing g $1,000 coo, to be ,>cd corruptly
IN the Presidential election, has not
petn suostantiated by witnesses before
the comm zee, and it remains for Gov
ernor Cox to make good his charges"
senator Kenyon said that the com
fiittee would have to adjourn by to-
morrow niiSas at least. He added:
se.era or the members Of the COM
n.ittee have to leave the city tomorrow
night for speeches and other engage
@''' ~HO W. PoSS'Dly snail nave TO
adjourn by then. if so, the committee
probably will rcconvene in some other
city"
