New HAVEN, Aug. 27.-Gov. Cox at
the close tonight of his first days
appearance in the East in his stump
ing tour for the Presidency encoun-
tered a distinct air of Irish hostility
to the League Of Nations. He deliv-
cred five speeches, four In this city and
one at Stamford, Conn, from the end
of his car, asserting when opportunity
was afforded that he had proved his
charges Of the "$15, 100000 Republican
campaign fund" by the evidence pre-
sented in his Pittsburg speech.
Apprised by Democratic leaders OF
this vicinity that Democrats OF Irish
sympathy are vigorously opposed to
the Cox Roosevelt ticket because they
believe Its support OF the League Of
Nations runs contrary to the cause of
Irish freedom, Gov. Cox made a de-
termined effort to overcome the hos
tility. He voiced a distinct appeal in
tended to win back the Irish. asserting
that the League of Nations means the
self determination for all peoples Of
the world.
"T'he armlstice was signed" Gov. Cox
said, upon the basis OF fourteen points,
the first Of which was the self-determina-
tion OF nations. Tho League Of Nations
does not abridge the right of any racial
entity to determine It's own destiny in
whatever part of the world 1t may be.
The League of Nations intends to estab-
lsh internal order and international or
der. 1t never will be an agency to curb
any such emotions as those which stirred
the American colonists in 1776."
Reiterntes SIush Fund Charge.
The campaign fund charges were dis
cussed at length, but the Democratic
nominee added nothing new to the assoc
tons made in Pittsburg last night when
he presented what he declared was evi-
dence that quotas for the collection Of
sS,145,000 had been fKed for fifty-one
cities, and that funds collected in other
sections Of the country would increase
the total amount to not less than $751;
100000.
To the statement OF Treasurer Upha:n
Of the Republican National Committee.
made in Chicago to-day, to the effect that
the list presented by Gov Cox was
''phony." the nominee said that the SEN
ate investigating committee should call
witnesses TO determine this.
The greatest attention to the "slush
fund" charges was given In the night
speech, at the Hyperion Theatre, when
the Democratic nominee undertook to
strengthen his case by calling attention
to the fact that there are 10000 Presi-
Dental Post Offices In the United
States, allowing the conclusion to be
drawn that the gathering of funds ex-
tends to all these communities. He re-
iterated his statement that fifty-one
cities alone. were called upon to raiso
E,lR. 900.
This is not political question:" Cox
declared. 1T Is matter OF plain, Or
binary decency."
Gov. Cox said that Chairman Hays
In a statement issued to-day made no
denial Of the charges, but he called
attention to the assertion of Fred w.
Upham, treasurer Of the Republican
National Committee, that the list was
"phony," and that the speaker had
joke played on him when he got hold
of 1t.
II renew the charge tonight" he
said. "There were eighty-eight men
at the meeting at which 1t was pre-
pared, and the Senatorial investigating
committee ought to be able from
among that number to find some one
who will tell the truth"
Gov. Cox called attention to the state
ment of Senator Harding that he knew
nothing Of the fund, making It an oc-
caslon for q sharp attack on his Repub-
lican opponent.
II am not surprised that Senator Har-
ding knows nothing about IT," he said.
IT know that IL Senator Harding is
elected there will be many things going
on of which he will know nothing
about"
Gov. Cox asserted that no fewer than
5000 potential business men" had
knowledge Of the fund. He said the
information had been derived in n
strange way" but he did not reveal
the details. merely adding that 1t never
was intended to come to him or go to
the public.
II want to tell you of n meeting I
had on August with Chairman White
and Wilbur Marsh. treasurer of the
Democratic National Committee" said
