IEXPECT SINCLAIR TO
PROVIDE THRILLS 2t

WASHINGTON, March 21.--A
succession of thrills is looked for
today by the oil committee with the
Iappearance before it of Harry F..
Sinclair, upon whom a subpoena was
served Thursday at New York.
The senate Investigators are pre-.
pared to question Sinclair on a wide
range of subjects, some of which
| have been gone into rather exhaus-
lively through other witnesses and
others of which have not yet been
touched upon.
Among the new phases is a story
that the New York oil magnate turn
ed over a large batch of securities
to Will H. Hays, former postmaster
general, and Attorney General
Harry M. paugherty to wipe out the
deficit of the republican national
committee incurred in the 1920
campaign.
The committee had hoped to go
into this rumor today, but &. D.
Wahlberg, former private secretary
to Sinclair, who was to be question
ed about it, failed to respond when
his name was called.
A subpoena for viii H. Hays has
been issued by the committee ard
he is expected to be here Saturday
Carmi A. Thompson, of Cleveland,
lOhio, also is summoned for that day
to tell what he knows, if anything,
about rumor of oil deal to the
republican national convention at
Chicago in 1920.
In connection with the Chicago
gossip the committee has issued a
subpoena for AL Jennings at Los
Angeles, once famous train robber
of Oklahoma. 1t will not be pos
sible for him to reach Washington
before next week.
Information reaching Senator
Walsh, of Montana, the committee
prosecutor" is that Jennings was
a close friend of Jake Harmon, for
mer republican national committee
man from Oklahoma, who was al
legged to have offered his support to
Major General Leonard Wood at
Chicago in return for appointment
as secretary of the interior.
In the absence of Wahlberg, the
oil committee held only brief SEES
sion Thursday and it proved one Of
most colorless Of the now six months
old investigation.
