allegedly sent in December, 1929, to

Wiggin, head of the Chase National

William Fox.
Fox said the message was con-

ton, who was chairman of the Re-
publican national committee during
part of the Hoover administratio
Houston and James Francis
Burke, general counsel of the Re
publican national committe, had
been attempting to aid Fox against
what he alleges was bankers con-
spiracy. Houston had Christmas
dinner in December, 1929, with Wig
gin and appealed to him in behalf
of Fox
After that dinner Fox said.
Houston told me Mr. Wiggin told
him to tell the President of the

the bankers we're doing down in New

own business and they resented Mr..
