Republican Fund Reaches $3,750,000, Treasurer States Untermeyer Engages With Witness in Sharp Tilt Over Affairs of Party; Kirkland Says “Bluff.” (Continued From Fare One.) proper not by myself or the repub lican national committee." "Well, we will see If there has .been,” Untermyer said. "You will have to make good your bluff," retorted Hodges. "Y’our attitude has been a bluff ever since you have been on the stand," returned the New York law yer. “There has been nothing but a bluff since these charges ("slush" fund) were made,” Interposed Wey mouth Kirkland, counsel for the re publican national committee. Calling eUentlon that B. G. Dawes of Columbus, Ohio, a brother of Charles G. Dawes, the republican vice presidential candidate had con tributed $5,000 to the republican fund, Untermyer asked If his com pany, the Pure Oil company, had not been Indicted -under the Sherman anti trust law. Kirkland Interrupted to say that he thought there was an effort to draw an Improper reference. “Whether Coolidge is elected, or Davis, or Senator Da Follette,” Kirk land said, "I don't think the fact that he contributed $5,000 Is going to get the indictment quashed.” Hodges said It could not be proved by him that the Pure Oil company had been Indicted. There was an ar gument as to the relevancy of the original question, but Senator Borah said the evidence would be admitted “for what It was worth.” Untermyer switched the Inquiry to contributions by partners of J. P. Morgan. Dwight Morrow, George Whitney and Thomas Cochran were among these. Their contributions already have been reported to the committee. “When were you first solicited to become treasurer of the republican national committee?” asked Unter myer. "At the opening of the republican convention at Cleveland.” "Who approached you.” "A young man named Scandrett." Hodges explained that Scandrett had been In his office for two years. Scandrett Introduced him to Cornelius N. Bliss, who asked Hodges to take the post. "Scandrett Is a brother-in-law of Dwight Morrow?" "He Is not. He Is Morrow’s nephew.” There was objection to this Une of Inquiry from Kirkland, but Unter myer said he had a right to show that members of the Morgan firm had been interested in getting Hodges to take the commltee treasurership.

Harney 0102 i McMullen Carries Fight Into Towns of Douglas County Will Continue Campaign Un til Eve of Election, Despite Reports of Norton’s Growing Weakness. Elkhorn, Neb., Oct. 29.—Adam Mc Mullen, republican candidate for gov ernor, ended a strenuous day of cam paigning in towns near Omaha when he spoke to a good-sized crowd on a street corner here late this afternon. The towns visited during the day were Irvington, Bennington, Valley, Waterloo and Elkhorn. The trip today had not been sched uled. As soon as the news spread through the towns that Mr. McMul len was a visitor crowds gathered and speeches were demanded at Valley and Waterloo. Although betting in Omaha and Lincoln and advices from friends throughout the stnte point to victory, Mr. McMullen will continue his fight until the night before election when he will address a mess meeting at the city auditorium at Lincoln. On Sat urday night Mr. McMullen will be the principal speaker at a republican rally at the Brandels theater in Oma ha. Political observers assert that the desperation of the democratic cause is indicated by the fact that Gover nor Charles W. Bryan, democratic candidate for vice president, is spend ing the last week of the campaign in small Nebraska towns talking state issues instead of discussing national Issues In the east and south. These observers assert that Bryan is cer tain of national defeat and is making a last eleventh-hour effort to save his political face in Nebraska. From reports received the business of running the affairs of state has been neglected for three weeks in Lincoln and the Bryan political ap pointees have been sent to their vari ous home communities in an effort to stop the McMullen landslide. On sev eral occasions in the last two weeks Mr. McMullen has given democratic campaign literature which is being distributed broadcast over the state by state employes appointed by Gov ernor Bryan. Mr. McMullen continued today to stress the importance of clearing poli ticians from the state house and re establishing a business instead of a political government in Lincoln. He asserted that during the Bryan ad ministration there had not been a single official act by the governor in which he didn't sacrifice business principles for political expediency. LINCOLN PASTOR KILLED BY AUTO Lincoln. Oct. 28.—Rev. M. A. Bull ock, prominent for a long period in religious work of Lincoln and the state, was instantly killed tonight when struck by an automobile driven by Mrs. Lloyd Elliott, wife of a busi ness man.

(Contlnned From Faso One.) president goes these states—required by the constitutional provision, de signed to protect the rights of smaller states, to determine their choice by a majority of the delegation—might as well be outside the union. Every delegation is being closely watched by both parties In the hope of possible defection and nasty ru mors of bribes offered and bribes ac cepted float about with every one of them discredited by the continued deadlock. Industry Shaken. Even reports of industry drawn from the path of prosperity and hope, which it was following prior to elec tion, Into the blind alley of Inertia fall to shake these representatives. Industrial leaders here have pointed out again and again the Incalculable harm being done. Numerous con cerns are having difficulty In financ ing their operations, but the most de plorable result of the deadlock, lead ers say, has been the destruction of enthusiasm and faith In the future which marked general conditions In the fall of 1924. Several times both Coolldge and Davis have come within one vote of the necessary 25 due to members ab senting themselves through pleas of Illness. But that one vote has stood I, ■ ■■■ ~ = like a great bar, stoutly guarded, to keep both men from the white house. In the senate La Follette, with Wheeler, Brookhart, Magnus John son, Frazer, Shipstead and Ladd, has held the balance of power and against his strength the 43 democrats and 46 republicans have been impotent. La Follette, ruling his six senators with an iron hand, has steadfastly refused to throw his votes to either Dawes or Bryan and it Is freely predicted that he will not act until the 11th hour when, with the house still deadlocked, he will elect Bryan vice president and thus, with the house helpless, make him president. After a day in which democrats threatened wildly, due to a report that President Coolidge has been ad vised by leaders of the bar that he would be within hts constitutional rights in staying in office, Washing ton was quieted today by a statement Issued by the white house that the president had every intention of re linquishing his office at noon tomor row. Hughes May I/ead Country. The deadlock continuing during the life of this congress, Charles Evans Hughes will assume charge tomor ro'w afternoon. There is no provision In the constitution upon which he can base his claim, since the consti tution provides for the succession of the secretary of state only In event of the death or removal of the president and vice president, but it is the opinion of the supreme court that Hughes can and must step into the breach. In event he does so, he Is required to call a special session of the congress elected last Novem ber 5 and order another general election. An amendment to the constitution to provide for a similar emergency in the future has already been drawn and will be submitted to the nation within a short time, but it cannot save the immediate situation. Europe Is watching developments with anxious eyes. Correspondents here for the London Times and Le Temps of Paris have never been ab sent from the house during balloting. They point out that the tranquillity and future prosperity of their coun tries, as well as of every other Euro pean’ country, hinges on the outcome of this fight. German correspondents are even more depressed by the turn of events. They point out that the future of Germany depends on the Dawes plan and the Dawes plan de pends on an orderly United States. G. 0. P. FUND HERE TOTALS $35,066 Report was made Wednesday of the funds received by the republican state committee. The funds total $35,066, Including all Items.

The law requires a report of all Items above $25. The report made Wednesday, however. Includes all con tributions to the state committee. Baby Daughter Dies. Marie J.
