MOSES PREDICTS
 MORE SCANDALS
Senator Thinks Others Will Be
 Drawn Into Muddle

New York, Feb. 1.-The oil scan- dal will involve persons of greater consequence than any yet named at the hearing in Washington, according to Senator George Fl. Moses, republi- can. New Hampshire, who was inter- viewed last night at the Hotel Plaza, where he lectured before the Mar queette club.
 "The revelations will continue and increase in importance" he said. Senators arc becoming round should cred from the burden of information they are carrying around, waiting for a suitable time to spring it on the public.
 'I could name half a dozen sena- tors who are provided with informa- ton relating to a number of men who have not yet been spotted in the oil flood. Those who are still to be in- yolved are greater in number and con- sequence than those who have been named already Of course, that in- formation cannot be stifed. It is bound to come"
 Piece of Impertinencc.
 Regarding the Denby resolution and the Senate's reply Senator Moses said:
 "what we did in the Senate was a piece of impertinence. We had no more businses to go around fussing with that resolution that we would with a resolution calling for the resig- nation of Cabinet member because he was baldheaded: It would have had just as much Constitutional basis.
 "The trouble in the Senate, as see it, is that we have been running on hysteria. The action in the Denby case made the Senate judge, jury, sheriff and complaining witness. The President took the only stand possi- ble and my impression is that he met with a very favorable reaction in the country"
 Asked about the political effect of the oil scandal, the Senator replied:
 "The revelations haven't been con- fined to any one side you know?"
 What was the effect McAdoo teti- mony?"
 "De mortuis nil nisi bonum," said Senator Moses. He added that Me- Adoo had been a menace to the Re- publican party before he was brought into the oil scandal.
 Put everything I saw about Me- Adoc into the past tense," he said. ~ am not one of these who used 10 think McAdoo would be easy to beat. He had certain clements of strength that were very formidable. He had with him almost the solid labor vote of the country. He was especially strong with tho most intelligent. the best organized and the most efficient of labor organizations-the railroad brotherhoods. No, sir. never did share the opinion that McAdoo would be defeated easily?"
 Expccts Ralston's Nomination.
 Whom will the Democrats nomi- nate?"
 "senatos Raiston, probably. I don't regard him as a weak candidate either." ..Mg ..-a
 Senator Moses said that the repub- licans were almost sure to nominate President Coolidge on the first ballot, and that there was nobody in sight on the republican side who had a chance for the nomination against the President. Asked about his own con troversy In New Hampshire, where Senator Moses had objected 10 in- structions to vote for Coolidge at the republican convention. the Senator said:
 That matter is not very important President Coolidge has told a New Hampshire newspaperman that he was quite satisfied with my stand" Senator Moses asserted that the democratic Senators had made bad tactical error in forcing through the Denby resolution.
 'I believe their activity in that matter" he added. has created a precedent that will arise 10 plague them"
