that such sum was necessary.

will you appear before the Senate

Cox was asked.
"If it really wishes me to do so I
shall," he answered. "The Senate COM
mittee now has the necessary leads.
If it wishes to investigate it will call
in Republican state leaders and learn
from them who the county and city
leaders are, and thus get all the de-
tails. / have every confidence that the
Senate committee will go to the bot
tom of my charges"
Governor Cox was visited by George
White, Democratic national chairman,
and Senator "Pat" Harrison, chairman
of the speakers bureau, and inquired
of them how his speech took. The
three held a brief conference on cam
paign matters
u,

National Committee, and Ex-Governor
Oswald West of Oregon were among
those who went to New Haven with the
Cox party.

acter who also made the trip were
James M. Cox jr, fourteen years old,
who was wearing the uniform of a
military academy, and Dan Mahoney,
son-in-law of Governor Cox, and editor
of his newspapers in his absence.
Something happened, however, that
caused young Jimmy Cox, as he is
known in Ohio, to grow cold to his
brother-in-law. Young Jimmy was
talking with the newspaper men when
he volunteered the information that he
was going to accompany his father on
his Western speaking tour.

". Y. Leaders Call
Cos List q Dream
Say Quota Named for
City Could Nerer Be
Raised by the Party

Republican leaders in New York City
were unanimous yesterday in charac-
terizing Governor Cox's charges of an
immense campaign fund as extrava-
CANT. They said so lar as their own
communities were concerned the
amounts said to have been fixed by
Republican campaign collectors as
their respective quotas were ridiculous
Manhattan leaders said that the
S2,000,000 named as New York City's
quota was dream of stellar magni-
tude. Samuel S. Koenig, the New York
County chairman, was away on his va
cation, but leaders who have his con-
fidence declared such an amount could
not be raised in Manhattan.
Brooklyn, which has larger Repub-
lican population than Manhattan. has
a quota of but one-tenth of the
amount which Governor Cax named as
New York's. 1t is said that less than
$4,000 Of the 100000 had been raised
to date.
Charges Called Baseless
William A. Prendergast, who is in
charge of the raising of Brooklyn's
100000 fund, said that no individual
contribution of more than $1,000 had
been accepted.
There has been this exception,
however" he added. Before the Chi
whereby man might pledge So 1000, to
be paid in two installments. one then,
and one later. But since the conven-
ton no contribution or pledge for
more than 1000 has been accented.
and no money from corporations is
accepted at ALL"
Hamilton F. Kean, Republican ma
tional committeeman from New Jersey,
said that the Cox charges were base
less.
Frank E. Davenport, chairman of the
Essex County Republican Committee.
having headquarters in Newark, was
Governor Cox that Newark had been
assessed 100000 as its contribution to
the fund Of $8.145, ,000 which the candi-
date said had been levied against fifty
one principal cities for Republican
campaign purposes.
$50 far as I know" ne said, there
is no truth in the charge so far as it
relates to Newark or Essex County. I'd
like to know where the money is. To
my knowledge there have been no cam
paign contributions here except those
of the county candidates themselves to
their campaign managers.
ut is customary in a Presidential
campaign for the state committee, act
ing for the national committee, to take
care of certain legitimate expenses.
But so far I have heard nothing as to
this. 1t is too early in the campaign" :"
Fred c. Breitenbach, of Newark,
campaign manager for Essex County
and assistant chairman of the Republi-
can State Committee for New Jersey,
said he had no knowledge of any funds
raised either in the county or in the
state, save those which the candidates
have provided for their own expenses.
Prosecutor Pierre ?. Garven of Hud-
son County, Republican leader for Jer-
sey City and the county, said: "If the
Republicans of this county had s24.-
600 to spend on campaign they would
consider themselves rich beyond the
dreams of avarice. If we had that
amount of money there would be no

Coz Stops Here ar, Hour
On Way to Ne,o Hauen
Talk is All OF attempt to
Buy" Presidency; Son and
RrOther.in-Ldtp With Him

Governor Cox arrived here from
Pittsburgh yesterday morning on the
way to New Haven, and while his
special train remained at the Penn
sylvania Terminal for an hour, re-
ceived Dem mocratic lenders and talked
with newspaper men.
All his talk was about what he
characterized as az attempt on the
Fart Of his political opponent to "buy"
the Presidency with fund of $751;
100000. lie intimated that before
week was over he would have some
thing new to say on the subject.
"Mr. Hays says that individual cam
paign contributions would be restrict
ed to $1,000" said Governor Cox
THAT statement is not true, and Mr.
Hays knows that it is not true. The
methods used by Republicans are to
get some big fellow to give $4,000
or $4,000 after which nineteen or
twentyfour dummy names are written
down as contributors on the party's
books. No one needs to worry about
my not naming the sources Of the funds

Of raising"

cloud Issues of Campaign
by Making Rash Charges
Beating Air, Says Miller
Republicans Believe Speech
Will React as Boomerang
to Democratic Hones

From The Tribunc's WASHINGTON Bureou
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Governor
James M. Cox's Pittsburgh speech was
dismal failure in proving the charge
OF corruption against the Republican
organization, according to the view
held by political leaders here.
The utterance of the Democratic can
didate, leaders said, served onlv fnr-
ther to center the public mind on the
subject of campaign funds, and at the
same time divert attention from tho
League of Nations, governmental waste
1ulness under the present Administra-
t1on and the more vital issue of tho
cost of living.
Clarence 5; Miller, secretary of the
hepubllcan National Committee, de-
ciared the Democratic candidate is
simply "beating the air"
Says Cox Beclouds Issues
He is rendered desperate by the
hopelessness of his case" Mr.. Miller
said, "and is making rash statements
III an effort to becloud the real issues
He started out by making definite
charge, which was that the Republicans
CIV ca WI ing W raise campaign
fund of $15,000,O0O. He now admits
that he has no proof at all of this, and
only says that the Republicans hope to
raise half that sum.
His next charge was that this fund
was being received from what he
termed undesirable persons. He has
proved nothing of the kind.
Mr.. Cox can prove none of his
charges. If he was a responsible speak
ing gentleman, we would pay some at
tentlon to what he says, but as it is we
merely read what he has to saw and
then smile.
"The truth of the matter is that the
Republican party plans to raise less
than the amount spent by the Demo-
cratic party in the 1916 campaign. Fur
thermore. it is much less than the
Democrats plan to raise for this cam
paign."
AS analyzed here, Governor Cox dis
closed in his Pittsburgh speech the
kind of appeal that he purposes to
make so long as the Republicans let
him do it. In addition to beclouding
the public mind on the Wilson league,
Mr.. Cox said the Republican game" is: !:
"The normalcy voiced by their chief
candidate, as visioned by his masters,
is: Bayonets at the factory door, un-
restrained profteering at the gates of
the farm, the burden of government on
shoulders other than their own, and
the Federal Reserve system an annex
to big business"
The masters referred to by Mr.

Harding Puts Cos Reply
Up to Uphann and Hays
Candidate Ans,cers Charges
That He Kne1o Of Allotrnents,
With Negative Shake of Head

MARION, Ohio, Aug. Ex-senator
Harding declined to comment to-day
on the detailed charges of Republican
campaign funds allotments made by
Governor Cox last night in a speech
at Pittsburgh
81 have read it hastily and haven't
a word to say" said the Republican
nominee. ~ do not expect to have any
thing to say" A negative shake of
the head was the Senator's reply to
questions about the Governors decla-
ration that the Republican nominee per
sonally knew and approved of the al
lotments enumerated.
Senator Harding indicated that the
reply of the party organization would
have to come from Chairman Will H.
Hays and Treasurer Fred Upham, who
he said, had handled the campaign
finances.
Senator Harding issued the follow
ing statement, to-day on the death of
James Wilson. former Secretary of
Agriculture:
ut was a great shock to learn Of
the death Of former Secretary James
Wilson. He was one of the pioneers
ture. He served in the Cabinet longer
than any other man in the national
history.
Two men have won and deserved the
credit for planning, organizing and
launching departments of our govern
ment One was Alexander Hamilton,
who created the Treasury establish
ment on the lines that have been fol-
lowed ever since. The other was
James Wilson, who, though not the
first Secretary of Agriculture, was the
man who placed that department on
the map and made it a model that
almost every progressive government
in the world has copied. His death

istcnce of a huge campaign fund just
barely after they announce one in
their official bulletin. They might have
known Cox had the proof or he would
not have made the charges. Now they
admit the fund and say What of it?'
They deny it is from corrupt sources.
We Democrats now expect the Republi-
can Senate investigating committee to
discover the sources Of the. Republi-
can funds. If it doesn't we will ex-
pose them, for we have the proof"
Prominent Republican leaders de-
clared that the ."proof" of the Demo-
Gratis would fall fiat and that Governor
Cox and his charges would be blown
up when the Republican national chair
man took the stand at Chicago on Mon
day and laid the whole facts before the
Senate investigating committee.
At Republican headquarters yester-
day it was said that Chairman Hays's
visit to Marion had no connection with
the charges made by the Democratic
nominee for President, but that he had
planned this visit as soon as the date
of his home state celebration at Marion
had been fixed.

asking that the committee look into the
campaign finances of the minor politi-
cal parties as we'll as those of the Re-
publicans and Democrats.
"The Socialist party is raising a
fund larger than ever BEFORE" said the
letter, in part. "The Nonpartisan
League is raising enormous sums for
propaganda and political campaign pur-
poses, and the Farmer-La party
also is raising a campaign fund
"The Socialists are great schemers
and it has been persistently reported
that they are financed by the Bolshe-
Wiki in Russia. This report should be

ment of collections made from the time

noment. Although l do not remember

Mr. Wasmuth said: "Mr. Cox's drop
from $15,000,O 900, which he proclaimed
at Evansville, to s8,5oo,o0O twenty-four
hours later at Pittsburgh is mere
trfe, but he will drop again and fall
further. The fund for the national

state than Mr.. Cox charges is de

DETROIT, Aug. 27.-"Detroit's quota
