Cox Charge of False Oath
Brings Explanation
From Chairman.
Rr AssoclateI D.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Wnl II.
Hays, chairman Of the republican ma
tional committee. issued a statement
here today in reply to Gov. CoXs at
tack on the truthfulness Of his testi-
mony before the senate committee
investigating campaign contributions
which the democratic presidential
nominee made in an address in Nal
waukee yesterday. The statement
said:
According TO the public reports,
Gov. Cox yesterday made the follow
ing accusation against me personally:
I charge that VIII II. Hays perpe-
trated a deliberate falsehood when
he said under oath that there were
no quotas.
Hays Statement.
In my written statement read 20
the senate committe on August 30 in
Chicago, I said:
Tentative quotas were fixed by the
treasurers office, all tentative and
rather as a goal. always high, OF
course. for the particular state tC
drive for. and changing constantly.
AT different periods different
quotas have been suggested by the
treasurer's office as tentative goals in
different states and the state com
mittees themselves nave fixed dif-
ferent quotas. These, as above sug-
gested. are changing constantly and
always, of course, were made very
much higher than either necessary
or anticipated. The fact is the quo
tas meant little.
Furthermore, whatever may have
been suggested as quotas by over
Jealous solicitors in their enthusiasm
in different localities. the fact re-
mains that a certain amount was be
neved necessary and the budge'
above referred TO was indicated
therefore, which is S2.079,037.20 foI
the use Of the national committee
When this amount was fixed as the
budget, that became ne sum fixed
for the treasurer 20 reach and the
purpose became definite The fac
at all times remains that the treas
urer is driving 10 collect enough and
no more than enough 10 meet the
necessary expenses estimated 20 bt
something in excess Of three million
dollars.
These are the facts. Let the pub
lie Judge as 10 the truth or falsity o
Gov. Cox's accusation. II has th'
same reckless responsibility as hl
claim of $4,000. 900 Further com
