Leonard Wood, Jr.,
To Tell Offer Made
His Father in 1920

Washington, March 1-Leonar0
Wood, Junior, was subpOenaed by the
senate oil committee tonight after
publication of statement in which
he declared that certain oil interests
had offered for consideration to
Leonard wood, for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1920.
According to the story told by
Wood, the offer was made at the
time Of the deadlock in the Chicago
convention and was conditioned up
on the appointment of the late Jake
Hamon, then the Republican nation :
al committeeman from Oklahoma. TO
the post of secretary of the interior.
Discussing here tonight the pub
lished statement in which he s2id he
was told while attending the 1920
Republican convention that the late
Mr.. Hamon had approached his faith
er with an offer conditioned on the
formers appointment as secretary OF
the interior. Leonard Wood, Jr., said
he had no knowledge of any details
of the offer that may have involved
oil considerations.
"When I said that certain oil in =
terests had made the offer, which. |
believe, had my father accepted
would have given him the nominal
ton" Mr.. Wood said, Il meant simp-
" the personal interests of Mr.. Ha-
mon, who was. of course, in large
way interested in oil I was told
that Mr.. Hamon had approached my
father with an offer during an ad-
iournment of the convention after 1t
reached a deadlock. / understood
that it involved his appointment as
interior secretary in case my father
won the nomination and the cleo
ton.
Il have no knowledge whatever
that any oil considerations were in
volved IN the offer, or that 1t was
anything more than the personal act
of Mr.. Hamon alone.
THAT my father turned down the
offer fatty I do know. After he had
done so reports were spread at the
convention that General Wood had
himself approached Mr.. Hamon for
delegate support. which the latter
had refused. ! recall distinctly that
the reports made my father very
angry.
Il regret exceedingly that so much
publicity has been given my state
ment about the matter, but / was
simply asked what knew about it
and I told it
Il have absolutely nothing to tell
the senate oil committee about 1t
which l have not already said"
