COMMITTEE QUITS
 WITHOUT HEARING
 MOORE TESTIMONY
Investigators Adjourn for the Week End; Summon Re-
 publicans


 nesses today were unable to present to the senate committee Investigating campaign expenditures the data on which Governor James M. Cox based his charges of a $15,00O,000 republ- can campaign fund, because of the ad- journment of the committee until next Tuesday.
 At the request of Senator's Reed and Pomerene, the democratic mem- bers, Chairman Kenyon tonight is- sued list of subpoenas for witnesses chief of whom is Edmund H. Moore of Youngstown, Ohio, Governor Cox's personal representative. MT. Moore was here today for the announced purpose of presenting to the commit tee all the data in Governor Cox's hands regarding campaign cxpendi- lures, but he was not called during the brief session of the committee.
 Several of the subpoenas issued were withheld from publication at the request of Senators Reed and Pomerene, the lattre of whom re- turned to Chicago this morning from Columbus, where he held confer -ence with Governor Cox mad Mir. Moore.
 Among those made public were six republican leaders, including Harry M. Blair of Marion, Ohio, assistant to Fred w. Upham, republican national treasurer. The other five are Dudley s. Blossom, Cleveland; Garrett Kin ney, Chicago; Walter s. Dickey, Kan sas City; John J. Bryson, Brazil, Ind; and H. G. Garrett of Kentucky. They are chairmen of the republican ways and means committees in their respective states, charged with the task of apportioning the republican budget within their territories.
 Reed Wants Evidence.
 The six republicans were called at the request of Senator Reed, who an nounced he wanted to find out how Treasurer Upham's fund collecting machinery was functioning in repre- sentative states.
 Decision of the committee to re- cess today to permit members to keep week-enk speaking engagements was unexpected. MT. Moore had appear ed to take the stand, and had told newspaper men that he expected to present documents in support of Governor Cox charges.
 The committee heard Senator Miles Poindexter of Washington, and Her. man Hencke, treasurer of the Nation |al Young Mems republican league, and then adjourned. Mir. Moore told newspaper men that he would attempt to prove that the republican leaders had publicly an- nounced last January they planned to raise a $16,O00,00O campaign fund and "had boasted of it." He also de- clared that $25,00O had been raised in Atlanta Ga, prior to June IA by man who later "became so disgust ed when Senator Warren G. Harding was nominated that he quit the par l.ty." MT. Upham testified earlier in the week that the, quota of the entire state of Georgia was $25,000 and said that $2,058 was all that had been raisd.
 1 Failure to hear all witnesses here today upset the committees plan te meet in Pittsburgh next week and in. quire into charges that hte liquor interests there had assisted Attor ney General Palmer's campaign fol the democratic nomination for pres ident. That plan, however, has moi been dropped and Senator Kenyon said before leaving Chicago tonight that the committee would go ts Pittsburgh probably as soon as il heard the witnesses subpoenaed here
