 Of the other presidential candidates testimony was presented showing that .S113.1O9 had been contributed Tor Senator Harding of Ohio; $6S,37b Tor Governor Coolidge of Mass, and $40,- $50 for Nicholas Murray Butler Of New York, all republicans.
 Regarding acndidacy of MT. Me Adoo.

Roperf form CT commissioner of internal revenut, Commissioner Robert Wooley, of the Interstate commerce commission and Frank Wilson, former director of liberty loan bublicity.
 Wood Campaign.
 Dr. Jenkins explained that he had been asked to place Mr. McAdoo in nomination at the San Francisco con vention, but of funds for use in be- half of the former treasury secretary he knew nothing he said.
 Resumng it's inquiry into the cam paign of Attorney General Palmer the committee finished it's day with former federal Judge J. Harry Gov ington, national treasurer of the Pal mer campaign, answering questions designed by the inquisitors to show connection of several Palmer support CTS, as named on the contribution list previously produced, with the of fee of the alien property custodian, of which MT. Palmer was the war time head.
 To flat question whether his ac- tivitics in the behalf of Mir. Palmer were occasioned by his quasi govern mental legal associations MT. Coving- ton gave an unqualified negative. On ly nine men on the contribution list lie said, had any connection direct or indirect" with the administration of alien property.
 Mr. Kings testimony concerned early organization of the Wood cam paign, it's financing under his direc- tion to the extent of $91. .000 and his retirement in favor of Colonel Wm IC. Proctor. He denied reports that the Wood campaign had been under written by group of wealthy men who attended dinner given by the late Henry c. Prick for the purpose but in that connection told of the promise which said Mr. Hanna had made.
 The Wood campaign, MT. King said had been 'on ice" during many months in 1919 after General Wood asked him to accept it's conduct. He sent sums ranging from $5,OOO down to $1100 into six states, he said paid for publicity, travelling, and of: fee expense by using $3O,O00. in con tributions forwarded him from sour ces which he could not give, by bor- rowing S50,000 and by incurring q debt of s11.O0O.
 Settled With Loeb.
 "A question of policy" MT. King said, caused him to withdraw as Gen neral Woods manager.
 He was opposed to a national or ganization and extensive campaign the candidate planned, and dded that he settled financial matters with William Loeb, former secretary to Theodore Roosevelt and forgot about it."
 Harry M. Daugherty presented the Harding records. Carmi A. Thomp- son was the largest contributors shown with $13,OOO, with Mir. Dauph- erty, who is Senator Harding's man. ager, second with $9,50O though cit izens of Marion, the senator's home. were credited with $22,5 in the cam. lpaign account. About $2O,OOO of this was spent in the Ohio primary fight Chairman Kenyon announced that senate officer, rmed with subpoena had been unable to find Horace e Stebbings, New York ,one of the treas. urers Of the Wood national organiza- tion, but that A. A. Sprague of Chi cago, also treasurer would be on hand.
