police started to dump the stun into

such wasteful act and replied that
they dumped II there 80 that there

Republican National Com mittee's Part in Buy
 ing Presidency Told.

CHICAGO, Sept. g. = Harry M Blair, assistant to Fred W. Upham Republican National Treasurer, on the stand this afternoon Tn the Sen ate committees investigation of campaign expenditures admitted the truth of Gov. James M. Cox charges that the Republicans fixed quotas and planned intensive money raising drives in fifty four of the princirkf cities of the Unised states and that the Republican National Committee had a part in assessing the city quotas. o
 Upham and Will H. Hays, Chair man of the National Committee, testified last week that no such quotas had ever been drawn up and professed ignorance of any plans for such.
 Blair produced a copy of a form (Fcrm 1OD which Gov. Cox through E. H. Moore, his pre-conven tion manager, previously had placed before the committee, and when comparison was made it was found that Cox's form was incomplete Blair's copy suggested that contri- buttons of 5000 and $1O,0oO be accepted. This part was missing from Cox's copy
 Testimony Contradicted:
 Upham and Hays previously hao testified that no individual contrl- butions larger than $1,000 were being accepted by the Republican campaign organization.
 Explaining that the drive had not been started in all cities on the list Blair said that it was impossible to carry out the plans completely be- cause of local conditions.
 Before Blair took the stand this afternoon, evidence of an alleged attefpt by Charles S. Boechestein Democratic National Committeeman from Illinois. to solicit campaign funds from Joseph Coffinan, Post master at Augusta, was laid before the committee.
