SAYS IT MAY BE ACCIDENTAL Republicans Hold Recent Denunciation Will Force Certain Members to Vote as Chief Executive Wishes All Deny Being Approached. Washington, Juno 9. Senator Town send ot Michigan threw the lobby com mittee Into an uprour Friday when ho virtually charged that the methods and Influence used by President Wilson nd the Democrats In forcing con gressmen Into lino on tho tariff bill constituted tho "nearest approach to unduo Influence upon mombors of con gress" that could be found. Senator Townsend criticized the committee for not having asked mem bers of tho senate whether the piesl dent had sought to influence them, and declared oven though tho president had not intended it, his recent denuncia tion of "lobbies" working in support of changes in the tariff, would forco cer tain senators to vote against amend ments they know to be just. "Who are thoso senators?" demand--ed Senator Reed. "I don't care to name any ono," re plied Townsend. The two Democratic members of tha committee present, Senators Reed and WaUh, Indignantly resented any lntl matlon President Wilson had used 'patronage or threats to force any one to support ihe bill as a whole. Senator Townsend insisted the committee had not asked any sonator thus far whetha" President Vllson had tried to influenca him. "I move," Interrupted Senator Walsh, "that in view of the serious state ments made touching the executive, that any senator who has already tes tified may be recalled and Interrogated In reference thereto.1' "I am for that," said Senator Nelson, and members of the committee agreed. Dragging President Wilson's tariff Activities into the investigation some what Intensified feeling within the com mittee, and It Ib expected It will make more searching the Investigations still to be carried on. Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, also a Republican, following Senator Townsend on the witness atajid, ex pressed tho opinion that executives had liad more influence in bills thanrall'thi persons put togethor who had come to Washington. "The statement tho president put out in regard to an insidious lobby In fluenced tho public mind," said Senator Weeks, "and that has its effect upon the senators. Tho public believes a lobbyist likes to oppose a measuro if tho president says lobbyists are seek ing to change it." The senate agreed to extend the time limit for the lobby Investigation 20 days, or until Juno 28. Members of the committee doubt whether It can toe completed within that time. Senator Townsend's statements in relation to President Wilson were not In the form of charges. He expressly said ho did not charge the president with using Improper methods, but ho Insisted the charges that lobbies exist ed and the actllvty of the president in support of free wool and freo sugar amounted to an "unduo Influence," even though he did not use tho "big tlck" of patronage.
