MANAGER
IS WITNESS At TRIAL
Paul King Says Frantic Efforts
Were Made to Complete Blair
Report of Expenses.

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. March 6 (by
the Associated Press).-Why the Blair
report of the Newberry senatorial pri-
mary campaign receipts and ex-
penses was incomplete was discussed
on the witness stand today in the
elections conspiracy trial by Paul
King, campaign manager.
He told Of the orders he had given
that every outstanding obligation Of
the committee be included in the
document filed with the state Sept en-
Der s. 1913 and then Of the strenuous
but futile efforts of his subordinates
to meet that order.
The morning of September 6, when
! reached the ofiice, found the report
still incomplete" said King. 'tB. Frank
Emery had been told to get it up and
/ was informed that he had worked
all the preceding night, finally faint
Ing from exhaustion at o'clock in
the morning and being sent home In q
taxicab.
"Recerds In Chaotic state.~
Il then took hold Of the situation
and found the records In . rather
chaotic state. Hannibal Hopkins, direc-
tor Of publicity. had been writing.
telegraphing and telephoning for bills
thought we had them all. We did the
very best we could with the report
and made an honest effort to have
1t complete.
When Frank W. Blair, treasurer Of
the committee. came to sign the re-
port. / told him thought II wan COM
plete. He then attached his signature
to the afidavit"
King said he did not know 5ust
when additional claims began to ar
rive. He said he went on q vacation
the next day, then was called to New
York for nearly two weeks. and was
able to give no further attention to
Newberry political interests until
about October Is.
Suggestion to RuA Helne.
King also related that Samuel Odell,
former state treasurer. hrst suggest
tho democratic primary to keep the
mass Of organization democrats from
voting for Henry Ford in the repub-
lican primary. This relation restored
to the record testimony tech nically
wiped out when Odell was freed from
action March 3.
King said he had almost nothing to
do wtthshnancing the Newberry cam
paign. relating that when he nrst
proposal to manage II was made to
him he was told that business friends
berry would furnish the funds. He
got one check for $1.ooe. but took the
donor to see Treasurer Blair aud han
died no other contributions.
The campaign manager Identified
several hundred letters exchanged be-
tween him and the then Commander
Newberry. He was still under direct
examination when court adjourned
until Monday.
