HAYS MAY APPEAR
 BEFORE COMMITTEE
If Summoned Will Be His
 Fourth Time

Washington. March S1 @ - A fourth appearance before the sen- ate Teapot Dome committee of Will H. Hays. former chairman of the republican national committee, is in prospect owing to charges that he attempted to halt the oil in- quiry four years ago.
 The committee first will decide whether 10 call former Senator Ava E. Adams of Colorado and Douglas H. McArthur. former sec- retary to the late Senator Edwin F. Ladd of North Dakota, who made the charges yesterday con- corning Hays, now in Europe on a business mission for the moving picture industry.
 Quote Ladd
 They said that the North Dakota senator had told them that Hays. in 1924 when Ladd was chairman of the Teapot Dome committee and Adams was a democratic member. visited Washington and tried to in duce Ladd to join other republicans on the committee in an effort to stop the inquiry for political req sons.
 The former postmaster general. who appeared before the oil com- mittee in 1924 and twice this year. according 10 the story related by Adams and McArthur, the latter now secretary to Chairman Nye. also a. North Dakotan. went 10 the White House and called for I.add 10 meet him there. They met and Hays took Ladd for a ride around scntcd his argument against fur thcr prosecution of the inquiry then being carried on by Senator Walsh. democrat, Montana.
 Hays reasons. Ladd was quoted as having said. were that the in vcstigation had grown to be one for political purposes only. with the democrats using it to sling mud on the republicans in connection with the naval oil reserve leases.
 Ladd Enragcd
 Enraged by Hays arguments, the North Dakota independent, who later was barred from regular re- publican party councils. the story goes, refused point blank to enter into such an agreement and made it clear that he proposed to carry out his duty regardless of the re- suit to any political party.
 Whether Ladd told him the story before or after Hays first appear ance in March, 1924, when the lat ter failed to tell about the entire sc6o.o00 contribution of Harry r. Sinclair to wipe out the republican party debt. Adams was unable to recall.
 This bit of information has taken committee members somewhat by surprise and has dwarfed for the time being their interest in other details and clues which they are running down behind closed doors in an endeavor to determine whether 10 proceed with public hearings or to await additional re- ports from its field investigators.
