 didntc to he ready to present the Senate subcommittee Investigating
 campaign expenditure data in sup port of the governors charge that the republican committee Is collect ing a campaign fund of $15.0OO,O0O. This announcement was made this | evening by both MT, Moore and Gov ernor Cox after an all-day conference 1 participated in by the nominee, MT Moore and Senator Atlee Pomerene, democratic member of the investigating committee.
 1 Whether he testifies before the com- ipnittee, MT. Moore said, is up to the Icommittee itself. He stated that in case the committee did not see fit to call him the evidence which he expects ! to take with him will be there in readi- ness. He added, however, that it prob 1 ably will find it's way before the com mittee in some manner
 l Commenting upon the papers which
 the governor turned over to him today and those which had come to him d- rect, Mir Moore declared that If Treas urer upham is telling the truth there | is an entirely separate fund and we are going to find it."
 MUST PRODUCE EVIDENCE MT. Moore declared that if the men
 to be called in the investigation deny
 or refuse to produce evidence which
 he said will substantiate the governors
 charges, he will present the evidence f himself. He also declared that if those 1 witnesses do not produce the evidence 1 he intends to call the matter to the at
 tention of the department of justice.
 If the republican party were in l dicted l would stake my reputation
 as a lawyer that the leaders would be 1 convicted by republican jury just
 the same as Newberry was convicted
 by q republican jury in Michigan" Mir. Moore asserted.
 l hqr. Moore sfatcd that he expected 1 evidence to substantiate the gov 1 ernor's charges to come from the paid
 district representatives, of the na- | tional committee in charge of collec-
 tion of funds in their respective dis
 tricts and also from the "unpaid state 1 chairmen." He declared they were in 1 possession or the 1aCtS.
 As part of the data which he will
 take to Chicago. Mr. Moore read the l following extract from a letter pur-
 porting to have been written by one ] of the regional directors in the south l to a man to whom Moore referred as
 one of the "money diggers." WATCH BIRMINGHAM CT have been wondering if you
 
 1 of Senator Harding's speech of me- l ceptance, which covers the enfran- chisement of the negro. We, of 1 course, do not want to discuss this | phase of the situation, hut I would 1 like to be advised If this stirs my l antagonistic sentiment in the l southern states. This Is n pnra-
 graph intended sop to the voters of the central western indus trial states.
 "Keep an eye on Birmingham, for
 there's where the renl money Iies." This letter was said to have been written on stationery of the republican I national committee III West Wash | ington street, Chicago.
 Moore declared that additional data,
 both in the farm of republican cam | paign documents and otherwise Is pouring In upon him from all direc- | tions and sources.
 l The governor stated that though Senator Pomerene had come to Coluru :
 bus on legal business, they had spent 1 most of the day together going over ] the governors data and discussing the
 evidence which already has been sub
 mitted to the committee.
 l Even though MT. Moore was said to | be carrying enough data with him to substantiate the governors charge l that a $15000,000 campaign fund Is being raised by the republicans. both | Governor Cox and Moore asserted he l is not taking "all evidence" with him. as part of it is to be used later by ! the governor as he sees fit either In l the form of statements or in speeches Governor Cox will spend tomorrow 1 cleaning up personal and state busi- ness and during the day will go to the state fair grounds to present the l Governors cup to the winner of the i cup event in the races. He will leave 1 in the evening for his swing through 1 the west, which will take him to .he | Pacific coast and return him to his i home in Dayton the first of October
