HITCHCOCK TELLS
OF SOME EXPENSES
IN WOOD CAMPAIGN
Highest Cost Known to Him
in Any State, 5000
in New Jersey.

Frank n. Hitchcock. one Of Maj.
Gen. Leonard Woods campaign man
ayers, told a Senate investigating
committee today that 80 far as he
knew the largest sum spent in any
state by the Wood organization was
SIS, ,000-in New Jersey.
He added that the next largest was
$12, ,soo-in Maryland.
Mr.. Hitchcock said that in New
York, ''as in q number Of other
states" the Wood supporters financed
thefr own campaign in their own
w1y." without asking assistance from
the Wood organization.
Ffnaneing In New jersey.
Hamilton Kane. republican national
committeeman in New Jersey. took

FElI2k state, the witne4s testfded. add
Ing that all Of the money used In The
sMf Hitchcock said he could not
rive details as to campaign contrt-
buttons, as It had been understood
when he Joined the Wood organtza-
ton that he was not to assist in the
dnAncing work. Some individuals.
he added, had sent money to him di-
rect. but this, he safds would not ex-
coed $25,000.
Mr, Hitchcock said that in Michigan
the Wood campaign was financed by
''locai people without any call on
the national organisation. Col Fred
AlEer Of Detroit, he said. was the
state chairman.
Senator Reed. democrat. Missouri
wanted to know II Col Alger was.not
q wealthy man and whether any other
wealthy men were on the Wood or
ganization roll in Michigan.
Expenditures Of Chicago OAce.
Mr.. Hitchcock said he was not
familiar with the expenditures Of the
Chicago headquarters. He told the
COMMITTEES that the New York ofiice
confined its work to the eastern and,
through Senator Moses of New Hamp-
shire, to the southern states. He
added that Col Proctor and the Chi
cago treasurer would have the in
Chicago Office.
In New York a finance committee
Of eighty took charge of efforts to
raise q fund. the witness said.
Who is at the head Of it!" asked
"A lawyer. Mr.. Freeman. at 100

that in New York;
st just can't recall the gentleman's
name" Mr.. Hitchcock replied, AL
though it's been mentioned to me sew
eral times. My activities have all
been in different places"
The committee began inquirins as
to expenditures in states again. Mr..
Hitchcock said he knew OF no money
raised in Delaware
Never heard Of any money being
raised there?' Senator Reed asked.
ssMixht have been some locally" Mr..
Hitchcock said. "Otherwise I don't
know"
mot even If there had been a mil
lion dollars?' Senator Reed pursued.
s.Oh, now, I'd have known something

tributed," the witness said.

BONUS MEASURE
AGAIN DELAYED

Republican leaders were undecided
today when they would attempt to
bring the soldier relief bill before the
House. in the absence Of assurance
that the measure would get the legis-
lative right OF way. Chairman Camp
bell Of the rules committee. however.
announces that no attempt would be
made before Thursday, q two-day
postponement from his previous an.
nouncement.
Absence Of friends Of the leeisla-
tion was said to be among the fessons
for delay, for q canvass Of the HOUSE
membership still indicated that the
combination Of democrats with anti
bonus republicans might indefinitely
delay action: Ioa:,,s,,1;yg sS,u,E;veying the parlia-
lieved that the minority of the re-
publicans opposing the bill ON the
ground OF the cash bonus provision
was virtually in control Of the House.
Republicans Join Deuocrats.
The poll of the memhership was
understood to have indicated too close
a lineup to assure the bill getting the
right OF way despite the resolution of
the rules committee intended for that
purpose.
With q half hundred republicans
joining the democrats in lighting the
rules committee report, the majority
republicans would be unable to make
the legislative way clear for passaTe
of the legislation. Likewise, the deYri-
ocrats. without the aid Of the minority
republicans. could not force amend
ment of the rules report. and, with
the minority republicans shifting
nrst to one side. then the other, an
indefinite hlibuster could be conduct-
