 Chicago, Oct. 15.--Preparations for an exhaustive inquiry into cam paign contributions and expendi- lures" were made today by Senator Borah, of Idaho, chairman of the senate committee on campaign ex- penditures.
 Senator Borah, called from cam paign tour in the west by the charges of Senator La Toilette, in- dependent presidential candidate, that improper and unwarranted use Of money had become factor in the campaign in certain states, said upon his arrival here that "every line of inquiry will be, followed to the end that as far as possible the source of all campaign funds may be reveal cd"
 Hearings Tomorrow Senator Borah, who expected to confer first with his colleagues on the committee, hoped to begin for nal hearings tomorrow morning Chairman of the national commit tees of the republican and democra- tic parties and John M. Nelson, na- tional director of the La Toilette campaign, have been requested to submit formal detailed reports for the examination of the committee These reports, Senator Borah expect ed, would be accompanied by state ments from the campaign managers After an examination of such reports and statements as may be submitted the committee will determine the fu- ture scope of the inquiry, probably hasing its determination upon leads suggested by the reports. How faI the investigation might go or how long It might last, Senator Borah was unable to predict.
 "The committee will examine every legitimate lead presented by spokesmen for any of the candidates and our inquiry VIII be exhaustive in every detail" Senator Borah said We shall ask each party organiza- tion to report how much they have received, from whom, and how it has been spent. Our reports will mol deal with lump totals, but with de, tailed contributions and expendi. lures. In the first instance, our ex. animation will be merely of the re- ports submitted in response to oul requests, but if these reports suggest further inquiry of any items, we may request the accounting books of the campaign headquarters"
 The La Toilette Charges
 Touching upon the La Toilette charges, Senator Borah said that if any evidence were offered by the La Toilette forces it would be re- ceived by the committee at some convenient place probably in the cast. Should witnesses be available in Chicago, however. the entire in- quiry will be prosecuted here, but fl it develops as Senator Borah anti cipates, that witnesses for Senator La Toilette are from eastern states, the investigation will be transferred to Washington.
 Other members of the committee, authorized to conduct the investiga- tion by senate resolution are sen- ators Bayard of Delaware and Jones of Washington, republicans; Cara way of Arkansas, democrat, and Shipstead of Minnesota, farmer-la- Tor.
 John NJ. Nelson, La Toilette cam paign director, said today he was prepared to go before the commit tee at any time with a full report
