include William NJ. Butler, chairman.
and William V. Hodges, treasurer, of
the Republican national committee,
and possibly the Republican State
chairmen of Illinois and Ohio. sub
poenaes for whom were requested to-
day by La Toilette counsel.
Having decided to participate in
the hearings, through counsel, the
Republican national committee may
have its representatives at both the
Washington and Chicago sessions.
Weymouth Kirkland of Chicago ap-
peared before the investigators yes
terday on behalf of the Republican
committee and Immediately made q
counter-charge that enormous sums"
were being expended on behalf of
La Toilette and Wheeler, but were
not accounted for through the regu-
lar Independent organization.
Claims La Toilette SIush.
While Kirkland did not go into the
details of his charges, he told the
committee he had evidence to support
them. 1t was learned that he had
list of some 90 witnesses he wants
called to the stand, and he said he
thought his charges should be aired
before election day.
Walsh said he would be glad to
have that done, but he insisted that
since witnesses wanted in the effort
to support the La Toilette charges
have been summoned they should be
heard without any interruption. No
decision on this issue between coun-
sci, however, was announced by the
committee.
The injection of the new charges
into the inquiry was viewed by some
members as complicating an already
rather complex situation. There isn't
sufticient time remaining before the
election to go thoroughly into the
La toilette charges, and yet it had
been the announced intention to in
qu1re into expenditures by the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor on behalf
OF the La tte-Wheeler ticket.
Members of the committee desire to
get home to vote next Tuesday. The
decision to split the inquiry between
washington and Chicago will facil-
ltate matters, but the investigators
regard 1t as almost impossible to get
at the facts as to the charges and
counter-charges before election day.
