WASHINGTON. Oct. 14. William F.
McCombs of New Tork, chairman of tne
national democratic committee, told the
Clapp commlttee'lnvestigating campaign
funds today that $208,000 had been con
tributed to the fund this year In behalf
of Governor Wilson's nomination.
"I began this campaign for Governor
Wilson in May, 1911." he said. "For the
first month or two the campaign was di
rected from .my office, . and I paid the
expenses out of my own pocket Then I
established headquarters in New York.
I think I spent. about $10,000 myself."
Here McCombs produced a list of con
tributors to the Wilson fund. Following
were the principal predomination con
tributions: (
Frederick C. Pehfield," $12,000; William
F. McCombs, $11,000; Charles N. Smith,
$1,000; Charles R. Crane, $10,000; H. J.
Barrett, $2,500; F. B. Robert, $2,600; George
F. Handel, $2,500; R. Maglll. $2,500; Abram
J. Elkus,' $2,500; Harvey Thomas, $6,000;
James D. Pheland, $1,000; Daniel Fellows
Piatt, $2,500; Henry Morgenthau. $20,000;
Cleveland 11 Dodge and Princeton
friends, $85,800; Irving T. Bush, $1,000;
Joseph F. Guffey, a Princeton friend of
William F. McCombs, $1,850; Samuel Un
termeyer, $7,000; collected through Wil
liam G. McAdoo, $3,600, of which amount
Jacob H. Schiff gave $2,500.
McCombs testified that the $12,000 cred
ited to Frederick C. PenCeld wan all of
the money that contributor had given.
Senator Dixon of the Roosevelt forces
said he understood Penfleld had made
"huge contributions."
Some Other Witnesses.
Senator John H. Bankhead, manager
of the Underwood campaign; Lieutenant
Governor Hugh L, Nichols, of Ohio, man
ager of the Harmon campaign and vice
Chairman William G. McAdoo of the
National democratic committee. Judge
Alton B. Parker, Joseph Qunlcy of Mass.,
Roger Sullivan, of Illinois, and Fred C.
Penfleld, of Philadelphia, were the other
witnesses to testify today..
While his statement totalled only $193,
565 Mr. McCombs said the total expenses
for the campaign had amounted to $208,
193. He said that represented all the
money expended and that no other funds
had been collected and disbursed to his
knowledge.
Questioned about the contribution of
$85,000 credited to "Cleveland S. Dodge
and friends," Mr. McCombs produced a
leter from Mr. Dodge giving the contribu
tions as follows - ' : ' -
Edward Wl gheldbn, $1,000; Thomas T".
Jones, $10,500; David B. Jones, $10,500;
Cyrus H. McCormlck, $12,500; Cleveland
3. Dodge, $51,300.
raid for Publicity. .
McCombs said that the greater part of
his funds were expended for publicity.
"We had to acquaint the people of the
United States with Governor Wilson,"' he
said, "and a wide campaign of education
was necessary.
"There is not a dollar Jn that statement
which reflects any promise expressed or
Implied on my part. No representations
were made to any one to Induce him to
contribute except that his country needs
a man like Mr. Wilson for president.
"McCormlck, Sheldon, Jones and Dodge
contributed to Wilson's fund Just as they
would to Princeton university if Wilson
were president."
Alton B. Parker, democratic presi
dential candidate of 1901, was on the
stand abput expenditures of that cam
paign. He said he had no knowledge of
contributions to the democratic fund, but
had given instructions that nothing was
to be accepted from corporations. He said
he had only hearsay evidence about re
publican contributions of 1904 and had
based his charges of that year on that
evidence.
Parker said the information on which
his charges of trust contributions were
based had been "borne in" upon him and
he had concluded that "the interests"'
were becoming very active. October 13
he had been informed by an old friend
that he was "licked." This friend had
told him of the details of an organiza
tion formed against him and mentioned
the names of El H. Harriman, James
Stlllman, C. Frick, G. W., Perkins and
Robert Bacon as members of such an or
ganization. Out of that information had
grown his speech attacking campaign aid
to presidential elections.
