investigation committee inquiring
into the charges of sive primary
expenditures made by Governor
Brewster of Maine, against Arthur Il.
Gould. Republican senatorial candi-
date in that state, seemed remote to-
night, at least before the election
there on Monday.
In the absence of members of the
committee from Washington. it was
understood that its books on pri-
mary investigation in several states
were closed and 1t was preparing it's
report for the Senate. 1t was said
yesterday at the Capitol, however,
that should any situation develop
warranting an inquiry from Maine,
the committee might go there, but
with the election close at hand it
could not survey the situation and
make its decision regarding the trip
before then.

Reed Is Doubtful

tor James A. Reed, Democrat, of
Missouri. chairman of the senate
campaign funds committee, said here
tonight it was doubtful that the COM
mittee would start an investigation
of senatorial campaign expenditures
in Maine before The election in that
state before next Monday.
"The charges are raised too late for
the senate committee to develop any
thing that might have an effect on
the election.
Accordingly I plan to meet with
the other members of the committee
in Washington the second day after
congress convenes. Any charges re-
lating to campaign expenditures in
Maine will be considered at that time.
at is likely nothing will be done
meanwhil unless some member of
the committee now in the east acts on
his own motion"
Charges of excessive expenditures
in behalf of Arthur Il. Gould, Repub-
lican senatorial nominee, in the Maine
primary, undoubtedly would be consld-
cred when the Senate campaign funds
committee meets in Washington, prob
ably December Z. Mr.. Reed said.
The committee chairman said the
only possibility of hearing in Maine
prior to Mondays election was the
chance that some committeeman might
on his own motion institute an inquiry.
This Is the first definite l have
heard yet" said Senator Rec when ad-
vised of the letter written by Gov
ernor Brewster accusing Gould of hay
ing violated the Maine laws regulating
campaign expenses.
