but were individual enterprises. Mr.
Cummings said:
"What do you suppose he did. relin-

A. It was so understood before

$1,000 was contributed by the com-
mittee to Mr. Roraback of the state
considered it its duty to do.
‘ Mr. Wheler said -the bulk of the
money collected, he, as Mr. Hill s
agent. paid over to himself as treasur
er of the congressional committee.
“You didn't keep it to spend in a
“political emergency in Mr. riill's be-
half?" asked Mr. Cummings.
“No sir," was Mr. Wheeler's answer,
“it was turned into the fund for the
success of the ticket as a whole."
it seemed to puzzle Mr, Cummings
how Mr. Wheeler, as treadurer of the
congressional committee and Mr. Hill's
political agent, drew the line separat'
ed the duties in Mr. Hill's behalf were
_ fulfilled in accordance with his instruc-
itee was followed out in the same
unanner.

lreplied be supposed it was because he
,' admired Mr. Hill, and» when asked it
he considered it purely a personal' mat-
‘ter that prompted Mr. Ashe in his
. work. Mr; Wheeler answered that be
.supposed it ‘was also a desire to help
along the cause of the party.
At one point ill the proceedings At-
ltorney Cummings asked the witness if
. the term “in the interests of the cam-
,paign committee." was in the interests

saying, “Mr. Cummings, we have
.fought that out quite a little and we
don’t agree on it."
With a view to bringing out the cost
.of printing the campaign speech of
.Chairman Hilles of the Republican
lnational committee. at Stamford.
'which was published. was indiret'tly a
| i
con
tribution to Mr. Hill's campaign,
Attorney Cummings interrogated the
speech. and brought
lout that in his speech, as published
{the national committeeman had paid
. the usual compliments to Mr.” Hill and
ldwoalt um his particular fitness for}
.the office for which he was a candi-
date. Other expenditures, including
postage and incidentals, were scruti-

i There were several prominent men
lwho attended the hearing. They in-
' cluded: J. Henry Roraback. chairman

Mr. Cummlns spentl‘l‘lbout an hour
in comparing mammogram gluon treas-
urers of ,town committessmith the
reports the treasurer-Hula“ to the
Secretary of State. in many‘ instan-
res treasurersreported the funds as
having been received from Mr. Wheel-
er personally. the treasurer of Strat-
ford reported that Hon. E. J. Hill had»;
contributed $140, when it was from‘
Mr. Wheeler as Congressional treas-
urer. Many of the amounts did not
tally with those of‘Mr. Wheeler, and
in some instances no returns were
made.
Amusement was created between
counsel over the report of Judge
Banks‘ from Fairileld, wherein
Mr. Wheeler's contribution of 350 did
not appear. The facts brought out,
simply displayed carelessness 0n the
part of treasurers of town commit-
tees and in no case did that part of
the evidence have a bearing on the
contest case against Mr. Hill.
One of the points which Mr. Cum-
lniugs seems to be intent on bringing
out at the hearings islthe necessity
for the appointment of a special com
mittee to conduct the election in the
District 'to have such a committee was
the First District. He asked Mr.
Wheeler to explain why such was
necessary. The witness said that it
was believed a committee composed
of men from a particular locality
would be in. closer touch with hlection
details. The work of the committee
was in the interests! all the nom-
inees on the Republican ticket. He
believed there was .a popular de-
mand last Fall for a change in the
administration and the organization
of the committee was deemed a step
forward. Mr. Cummings said that it
remained to be seen that it was not,
.a step backward as for as the law
is concerned. The.,witness was ques-
tioned as to his knowledge of the
law’s, reuirement as to the amount
