BORAH INVITES
Vote ON FUND
Says Donors Can Dispose of
Sinclair Money.
BY PAUL Il. MALLON .
United Press stan Correspondent
Copyright, 1928, by United Press)

WASHINGTON, March "a
Senator Borah is willing to let his
contributors vote to decide the dis
position of the 100000 fund he is
raising to repay Harry F. Sinclairs
contribution to the Republican
party.
In an interview Friday he said:
MY personal opinion is that the
money should be returned to Sin
clair. The Republican party ought
never to have received the money
and should get rid Of its obligation
by sending it back to the source
from which it came.
However, I am willing to take
the judgment of the contributors.
IF they want the money to 60
for hiring detectives to dig up more
information about Sinclair. I will
abide by their wishes. If they want
to have the money given to a leper
colony, I am willing.
Thus far he has received a little
less than $4,000 in cash.

The shipment was considered sus-
