DU POINT FIRM DENIES
STEEL STOCK ACTIVITY
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK. November 1.-Denial
that T.. L. du Pont de Nemours e. Co.
again either had become active us a
purchaser or seller of common stock
Of the United States Steel Corporation
was made today by Irenee du Pont,
vice chairman of the board. He de-
clarcd the company neither had bough:
nor sold any steel stock beyond it's
original investment several months
ago.
AS this stock had been acquired
originally for investment. there was
no reason for selling it, he asserted,
and the company was not inclined to
increase its original investment of
1l4,000 shares. which it bought at an
average price of S122.80 a share, In
view of the objections raised by the
Federal Trade Commission at that
time.
Mr.. du Pont also denied reports the
company had been buying stock OF
the United States Rubber Co. 1t was
possible. he said, that individuals
named du Pont, of which there were
many in Wilmington. might have been
purchasers, but this had no relation
to the du Pont company.

try. The defense, likewise. it was ex.
planned by one defense attorney, has
witnesses here from California and
other distant points ready to take the
stand. and their presence in Wash
ngton is costing much money.
Grand Jury Probe.
In answer to repeated inquiries as
to when another trial would be held
in the event that the present proceed
ings are declared off, Government
counsel explained that they could not
be ready to proceed again until the
January term of the court.
While the grand jury was in ses.
sion number Of Federal agents pre-
pared to make arrests Of any persons
who might be named in indictments.
Nearly a score of witnesses were
heard and officials said there also was
some documentary evidence to be
submitted.
Production Figures.
Roberts was balked yesterday after
noon in his efforts to show the
amount of oil taken from the Hum.
phreys fields covering the period Of
the Continental contract. Defense
counsel previously had obtained from
Fl L. Phillips, president of the Sim
clair Crude Oil Purchasing Co, Il
statement to the effect that production
had been falling off sharply. Because
of such conditions in the fields. the
defense claimed that the 100000 paid
the Continental company for The as
signment of its contract was fair
and reasonable price"
The Government called Arlington
c. Harvey. representing the Pure Oil
Co.. which had acquired in 1924 all
the physical properties of the two
Humphreys companies. From Har.
vey a set Of figures was produced,
purporting to show the amount of
oil delivered under the Continental
contract and taken from the Hum
phreys field as late as 1927.
Littleton interposed objections when
Roberts attempted to read from the
figures to show that the production
ran as high as 100000 barrels in some
months. Roberts had no right to
read the figures to the jury. he
claimed. until the court had ruled on
admitting the testimony.
Justice Siddons upheld the defense
objection with a result that Roberts
announced impatiently that he would
withdraw the witness and seek to
introduce the production figures in
some other way.

MRS. PINCHOT SEEN CANDIDATE
FOR SENATE AS REED OPPONENT
Pennsylvania G. o. P. Women
Send Word of Her Plans
to Washington.
Former Governor and Wife
Refuse Comment on
Reports.
By FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Republican woman politicians III
Pennsylvania have sent to Washing
ton the word that q militant member
OF their sex plans to oppose Senator
David Aiken Reed, present incumben Mt
for the 1928 nomination to the United
States Senate. The woman in ques-
ton is Mrs. Clifford Pinchot, wife of
the former Governor Of Pennsylvania
and now Il resident of Washington.
Hitherto reports have been current
that Mrs. Pinchot might seek a nom-
inatton to the House of Representa-.
tives from her home district in north
eastern Pennsylvania.
Reports also associated Mr. Pinchots s
name with the senatorial primary, but
it appears that it is really his wife
who is to aspire.
Both Are Silent
When this writer asked the late
Keystone executive and his lady at
their Rhode Island avenue home TO
discuss the news from Pennsylvania
they joined in the non-committal reply
that there's nothing to say about it,"
and specifically declined either to
deny or confirm it. They admit they
have been aware for some time that
Mrs. Pinchot's name is being used in
connection with Senator Reeds re
nomination ambitions.
The PinchOtS--whOSe political for
tunes are closely wrapped up-know
the senatorial primary game in Penn
sylvania from A to z as the result of
the bitter three-cornered contest of
1926. From that gold gorged fray,
which is the basis of the fight to keep
Senator-elect William S. Ware out of
the Senate, the Philadelphia boss
emerged victor. Ware polled SOC, ,92S
votes in the primary George Whar-
ton Pepper rolled up 515, SOP and Gov.
Pinchot, as he then was. scored the
formidable total of 339.127. Pinchot
carried % counties of the State, in.
Guiding the populous mining districts,
and Il dozen famous Republican
strongholds like Lackawanna, Wayne.
Schuylkill, LuZerne, Mercer, Bradford
and Northumberland Counties OF
special significance for the contest
against Senator Reed is the fact that
several important counties in western
Pennsylvania-Reed territory went
Pinchot" in the 1925 primary.
To Attack Mellon.
The Pinchot attack on Senator Reed
would be directed mainly at Andrew
w. Mellon, whose interests. the Pin
chot camp asserts. are personally rep
resented in Congress by the young
and brilliant junior Senator from
Pennsylvania. Mellon has long been
one of the Pinchots' pet aversions
They always assail the Secretary OF
the Treasury in connection with pro.
hibition and charge that Inadequate
enforcement is attributable to "Mel-
lonism' and the pittsburgh infiu.
ence'
Gov. Pinchot's impressive showing
in the 1926 senatorial scrap was
