Lambert, counsel for Mr. McLean, was present at the reopen ing of public hearings st the invita tion of Senator Walsh, who had sought a conference with him. The purpose was not disclosed, but it was stated that the time for the examina tion of Mr. McLean by the committee still was undetermined. Walilherg Summoned. A subpoena was issued today for f!. J). Wahlberg, former private secre tary to Harry-*'. Sinclair, who will be questioned as to the identity of “Mr. Hays” to whom he has testified he delivered $25,000 in Liberty bonds. At the time of his testimony com mitteemen thought the reference was to an employe of Sinclair, but since then there have been reports that it was another “Mr.' Hays.” In this connection, Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, annouiiced today there was no present Intention of summoning Will H. Hays, former postmaster gen eral. Senator Walsh also said he did not plan now to summon Attorney Gen eral Daugherty for queatlonlng as to his statement In his letter yesterday to Senator Willis, republican, Ohio, that he had dealt in Sinclair oil stocks after the leasing of Teapot to Sinclair. Chairman Lenroot said In any event Mr. Daugherty would not be called until after expert accountants had finished their examination of brokers' books showing those transactions, fl.

As soon as the committee ad journed Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, who has taken the lead In the oil inquiry, renewed on the sen ate floor his quarrel with the news ( bureau of the republican national comipitt*'® by contradicting hi un equivocal terms the bureau's charges that he sponsored the law under which the oil leases were made. lie declared the leases had nothin? to do with the general leasing act, and he also denied the .•rscertlor. of the news bureau that he supported the rider to the naval appropriations hill of 1920, giving the secretary of the navy authority to exchange royalty oil for tank storage. "It is not true that I supported it, as the record will show," Senator Walsh said. "Nor did any other sen ator say anything about the amend ment except the senator from Utah (Mr. Smoot), who offered certain i amendments and these were accepted without discussion of any sort." Upon request of the senator from Montana, Senator Smoot confirmed his statement, and Mr. Walsh then challenged "any republican senator to arise in his place and state whether I have stated the facts incorrectly." Senator Lenroot, republican, Wis consin, said the statement was ac curate, "except that the leasing act did authorize the leasing of flowing wells." "Having thus demonstrated that the republican national committee and Its official organ is an inveterate liar,” said Senator Walsh, "I shall not trouble the senate further."
