"Have you evidence to contradict
HAYS claim that no subscription

the next question.
"Whon Mr.. Hays makes that state
ment, he knows he is stating what
is not true" Cox answered quietly.
Have you proof of that?" he was
asked.
MY statement just made stands
just as I made it.
You know it has long been the
custom to ask $25, 900 from some
contributor and then set twenty
four dummies, each contributing
81 900, and the man himself con-
tributes the other thousand" was
Cox's answer.

DENIALS TO BE
MET WITH NEW
REVELATIONS
Next Move Probably to Show
Evasion of Harding's
$1,000 Limit.
DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT

NEW YORK, Aug. 2T.-{En route
with Gov. Cox to New Haven't
Any attempts of republican leaders
to deny the figures quoted at Pitts
burg last night IN support of his
charge that the G. o. P. campaign
fund goal is $15.OOO,OOO will be met
by additional revelations" Gov. Coz
said today.
He indicated his next move would
be to give the names Of some of the
heaviest contributors to the repub-
Iican fund and to attempt to prove
his assertions that the $1,000 limit
announced by Senator Harding is be-
ing evaded.
Democratic leaders are confident that
Cox has wrecked the financial plans Of
the republicans, George White, chairman
Of the democratic national committee,
ssid when he met the governor.
White, Senator Harrison and Homer
Cummings. former chairman of the dem
ocratic committee, net Cox.
Their first act was to congratulate him
on his Pittsburg speech.
They win accompany him to New
Haven
Important conferences will be held By
Cox with national leaders during his
trip to New Haven and his stay in New
York tomorrow and Sunday.
Just how the far western stump battle
shall be waged viii be the main topic.
MARSH SAID TO HAVE
Democratic National Treasurer Wilbur
Marsh, it was stated, has presented the
governor with a mass Of names which
he duplicates in campaign contributions.
The governor, it is said, was tempted
to introduce some Of the more striking
Of these names into his speech at Pitts
burg, but was pursuaded TO save them
until a more opportune time. \
Cox indicated his speech, with copies
Of documents on which it was based,
viii be placed before the senate cam
paign expenditures committee when IT
resumes sessions Monday at Chicago
The governor stated one of his main
aims in future addresses will be to show
that Senator Harding is responsible for
the alleged ''sIush fund.-
In his speech at Pittsburg Cox read a
list of ffty-one cities in twenty six
states to which he claimed the repub-
licans had assigned quotas totaIing
IS, 145, 600
He read paragraph after paragraph
from the official bulletin which he
said was 9 confidential publication issued
by the offices of Fred Upham, treas
urer OF the republican national commit
tee
These quotations showed that cam
paigns are being made in scores of states,
and that quotas in other cities have
been assigned.
The crowd cheered when Cox chal-
lenged Will Hays to deny the correctness
Of his figures.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27-Gov. Cox
clearly indicated, during conversa-
tions with newspaper correspor-
dents here, that he feels the slush
fund fight has already reached the
stage where it is very necessary for
the republicans to start explaining
things
Meantime he added: ''I will con-
tinue to furnish more leads that
they may follow.
THE charges, of course, bear con-
siderable development" he said with
a smile
The crux of the situation, how
ever, he said, was simply this:
7 have now furnished the SEN
ate Investigating committee the
leads
"They can call the republican ma
tional chairman and treasurer and
demand the names of the state chair
men
From the state chairmen can be
secured the names Of the county and
district chairmen.
And in this way the committee
can get to the bottom Of this thing
if 1t desires.
Il have every confidence that it
will do So"
VIII you go before the commit
tee personally? Cox was asked.
Il should be glad 70 go if they
wish it," he replied
Between now and then viii you
give further facts in the way Of
important disclosures? ?"
II think it is safe TO assume that
the situation permits of develop
ment," he said.
Chairman Hays seems to center
his attitude on the failure to de-
velop actual contribution with the
