BOSTON, May 2S. - Mai. Gen Leonard Wood, candidate for the Re- publican nomination for President whose campaign expenditures arc under investigation by Senate com mittee at Washington together with those of other Presidential candi- dates, today vigorously defended the Presidential primary system, which public men have declared is under indictment as the result of disclos- ures of enormous amounts expended William Proctor, his campaign man. ager, yesterday testified that he had advanced $50O,0O0 toward Woods pre-convention campaigning and that others had contributed as much more.
 Gen. Wood declared it was only a question of whether direct contact with the people of the United States was worth the expense involved
 No question of the integrity of the Presidential primary system is up. The comprehensive question to be decided is whether 1t is not better than the old system under which no one knew how much was spent or where it was circulated through underground channels; whether it is not immeasureably better than the old system of State conventions swung by party bosses"
