WASHINGTON. ID. c., Dec. I6.-
Rl-With witness after witness on
record as having the utmost conf
dence in the four United States
senators mentioned in William Ran
dolph Hearst's Mexican si1sh fund
documents. the senate investigating
committee today attempted to clear
up the mass Of contradictions sur
rounding the authenticity OF the
material in its possession.
Having heard emphatic disavowals
from Seniors Borah. Norris, LaFol-
lette and Hefiin and having been
told by the principal witnesses that
they were confident no Mexican
money passed to these members Of
congress, the task was to trace the
documents, if possible and questions
by members of the committee were
directed to this end.
George Hinman, former Mexico
City correspondent for Hearst pa
pers, and who now works for Hearst
in New York, was in Mexico City
when John S. Page, fellow reporter.
got the documents, but he testified
he never saw them.
Last March Hinman said he had
BaRCAc W-AD t@AoNNAAC HGA-
porting TO show payment Of money
to Americans. The next day, he
said, he was called home by his
fathers death. Meanwhile. he said.
Page apparently had obtained the
papers.
Chairman Reed pressed him about
his first information on the docu-
ments. but he repeated he merely
heard from Mexican sources that
they were in existence. He did not
know whether his informant was
the same as Pages and knew moth
ing OF the genuineness Of the pa
pers.
The witness said that Miguel
Avila. the man who testified yes
terday that he obtained the docu-
ments for Mr.. Hearst. had told him
that he believed some documents
could be obtained from the treas
ury.
The committee has subpoenaed
the records of ali cable and tele-
graph companies in New York re-
lating TO Mr.. Page between Mexico
and this country.
