This belief was strengthened
when the On,e Of War lniorma

Fiorello LaGuardia OF New York IN
which he told of what he described
as his pleasant and long chat
with the Italian military leaders.
IL the generals are in this coun-
try it is supposed that they are
being questioned by the American
military authorities. There have
been reports that Bergonzoli and
the other militarists were in the
L. S. either as prisoners of war or
as special advisers to the Allies.

Washington, Feb. PINS For.
mer President Herbert Hoover is
not and will not become a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
President in 1914 under any circum-
stances.
This is the message. II vas
learned today. that the former
President has sent TO Washington
through a prominent member OF
Congress. Hoover expressly asked
that his attitude toward the COP
nomination in 1914 be made known
to any interested party on Capitol
Hill.
The former President effaced
himself from consideration for the
Republican nomination next year
so that he may devote his entire
efforts to helping preserve Amer
lean democracy during the war and
to contributing to the solution OF
world problems after the war.
While Hoover erased all ambition
" duONuSA btl III III the " NV
House, 1t is no secret that he is
willing to participate in solving
present war problems and is anxious
TO help solve post war problems.
To a congressional visitor who
talked to him in New YORK, Hoover
said, in effect:
Il am 20 years old. ! will be Il
mex year. | am not and will not
become candidate for the presi-
dency under any circumstances.
You may tell that TO any interested
party in Washington. My only am
bition now is to help save our dem
ocracy and to contribute a little to
the solution OF postwar problems

penditures from special S63l 600.

Roosevelt for secret war projects
as part OF a snowballing movement
TO recapture legislative authority
delegated TO the executive in the

and at least two legislators, SEN
ators Tydings (D.Md) and Taft

mand a thorough accounting OF

To Insist on Probe
"As a member of the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee" Tydings
told reporters, 81 am going to in
sist that a searching investigation
be made Of every proposed expen-
diture and that Congress DE fully
informed OF the facts in regard TO
all money which has been spent
for secret and public funds in the
past. ! am against making blank
et appropriations
Taft said he thought that in ad-
dition to asking for more infor-
nation on confidential expendi-
lures, Congress ought to eliminate
the use Of the emergency appro-
priation as a revolving fund.
In 1910, Congress gave Presi-
dent Roosevelt an appropriation OF
800. 600. 900 and contract author
itv of a like amount for emergen-
cy expenditures which he might be
called upon to make in carrying
out the defense and later the war
program. From time to time the
fund was reimbursed until total
appropriations reached 1851, 49,
