QUESTION BLAIR IN SLUSH FUND INVESTIGATION (Continued From Page One.) “We never allow a quota to be jabbed down the throats of city workers,’’ he said. “We approve the efforts of state chairmen to fix states.” This investigation has interfered with your plan to the extent of causing instructions to slow up, hasn’t it?” asked Reed. "No, we have sent out word to speed up,” said Blair. “Contributions are keeping up. “Many men are sending in money because they feel we are being persecuted. -Gov. Cox ought to be one of my paid field workers. "If he keeps on our money will come a lot easier. "Is this committee persecuting you'/”, asked Senator Kenyon. “No, but the unbiased people of the country think the republican national organization’s plan for open covenants openly arrived at is being distorted and misrepresented.” MORE CITY QUOTAS GIVEN. Taking up individual city quotas, Reed asked about Boston. Blair said Boston and nearby towns arc to raise $150,000. T. ledo. t hin, tentatively accepted a quota of ? c 0,090, Blair said. lie testified Columbus’ quota was 565 OC9, and $85,000 to $95,000 lias been raised. “I think SIOO,OOO is the voluntary quota set by Columbus.” Blair said. “That is what Gov. Cos said it was in ills speech,'' Reed said. Reed quoted from the official bulletin of the finance department a statement that Cincinnati business men had underwritten that city’s quota. “I consider that just so much ‘bull,’ ’’ said Blair. Reed asked about a meeting in the power room of the I'nion league club In Chicago which he said was held July 0. Blair said Fred L'pharn, national treasurer; John Kelly, Ohio director; Car! I’ritsche, Michigan dlrectoi; A. A. Protz man, Cleveland director, and sis or seven others were present, representing state and city directors. WUI Hays was there “for a while’ and John T. Adams, vice chairman cf the national committee, also attended. Virtually all the men sent into the field were called in for a conference, the witness testified. Form 10C, the camj aign plan for cities, was distributed, he stated. NOTHING DEFINITE ABOI T GRAND JURY ACTION. While rumors of grand jury action multiplied, the senate committee investigating campaign funds continued today ueivi.ig into the details of the money raising plan an dorgauization built up by republican parry leaders. Democratic members of the committee, spurred on by disclosures yesterday and last night, predicted that when the inquiry recesses probably tomorrow night, they will have proved in their enfirety Gov. Cox's charges of a huge G. O. P. corporation fund. So far as grand Jury action is concerned nothing definite in the way of facts was obtainable today. United States District Attorney Clyne was known to be keeping In close touch with E. H. Moore, Gov. Cox's star witness here. A transcript of all the testimony thus far given has been available to Clyne If he wants it. Moore, who had a long conference with Clyne yesterday, refused to talk today about possible grand jury action. So did Clyne. Members of the committee with whom Clyne lunched yesterday were equally reticent. Neither Moore nor anyone else would go very far In even suggesting the possible basis of grand jury consideration of the matter. The democratic members of the committee took up the city plan which Gov. Cox charged Included the fixing of quotas for fifty-one cities at least in twentysovm staets, totaling more than $8,000,000. Witnesses were questioned regarding form 102, document sent to workers following the rejection of the so-called Blair plan as embodied In form 101. Form 102 is a campaign plan for fifty-four of the largest cities in the country. It contains positive proof, democratic members of the committee say, that definite city quotas were levied as Cox charged. They base that assertion on this language from form 102: “This chairman (of a volunteer city organization). along with a carefully selected executive committee will accept the quota placed upon the city by the national treasurer.” FORM 102 CALLS FOR INTENSIVE EFFORT. Form 102, according to Blair, was sent to state directors and other workers in the money-raising campaign. It further refers to city quotas in this language: “All cities will be given credit, on their quotas for money raised in the pre-convention effort. “Quotas have been levied upon the basis of population, wealth, republican vote, industrial production and general ability to contribute.” Form 103 stated that an "intensive effort” was to be launched simultaneously

One of these city campaigns was in full swing today in Chicago. It was launched last night at a dinner of team captains and a city executive committee which was held while Harry M. Blair, assistant republican treasurer, wa3 testifying before the committee. Blair said $500,000 is to be raised in Chicago in seven days by 600 workers, tinder direction of F. C. Barbour, a professional money raiser of New York, who is being paid SOOO a week for putting on the Chicago drive. Blair further disclosed to the committee the names of many paid employes engaged in raising money or organizing the work in various states. He disclosed that a paid organization of fund getters is at work as charged | by E. 11. Moore. I Blair, who is at the bead of the money raising, said he is paid S6OO a month and expenses. He named thirty-one others, paid from $75 a week and expenses to $250 a week and expenses.

KATY TAKES LOOK AT RECEPTION FOR M’CRAY From Page One.) and asking loquaciously “how you was?” iheu I was securely grasped by an Individual who wormed out of me my pedigree and parentage, and about that time a female politician showed up and was consulted. Having given me the once over she remarked to the atmosphere, “Well, ! can’t see wh&t business she haa up here, If she is from The Times,” and departed without even telling me her name. They were all there, slick and slim, young and old, including a number of distinguished bald heads. “The atmosphere is good.” remarked a companion next to me. although he did not inform me whether he meant the humidity or the haziness. About that time the elevator picked up business and unloaded a delegation of "seffs” wearing tuition trimmed sulis who surrounded the candidates. Then I caught eight of my former Inquisitor wagging an acusing finger iu m.v direction and talking earnestly to Mr. McCray; whereupon Mr. McCray shook his head and I was left in peace for about a minute and a half. MANY ARE EXCLUSIVE. Talk about hobnobbing. The exclusive circles formed by certain individuals with the cool snubs at less Important personages showed awful bad manners. Certain ones favored by the geds even took refuge in rooms away down the corridor while busy politicians scurried back and forth proving that a reception isn’t a social affair. A hen party was conducted on one side of the room, and since nobody would condescend to notice me I concluded that I was not a hen. Vivid recollections of churen socials, where everybody was bored to death, were aroused. Although no religious tcnl-a :v.,..-hej my auditory nerve, the evils of all things democratic and the wickedness of demo crats were thoroughly explained. Having hung around with mt seeing any signs of refreshments, I decided that I had better leave. Whoever heard of a reception without anything to eatt I decided that republicans were a stingy old bunch, since they have all that money Gov. Cox told about.

He said, however, that I.insey had been ordered into the fair grounds police headquarters at 11 o’clock this morning. When asked if Llnsey’s statement made at that time would be made public, Capt. Ray said, “That will be up to Liusey and the chief." Chief of Police Jerry Kinney stated he knew nothing about the bringing of whisky into the state fair grounds in an automobile or the reported warning which Mounted Patrolman Lindsey is said to have given the bootleggers, until informed of the charges at 10 o'clock this morning by a representative of The Times.

JOBS FOR ALL THIS WINTER Federal Labor Official So Predicts. WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—There will be jobs for all this winter, John B. Densmore, director of labor employment service, predicted today. Basing his statements on reports of 320 field agents, Densmore said the coming winter will be one of the best in years as regards opportunities for employment, with the exception of the war years, ■when there was an absolute general shortage of labor. Densmore’s statements were made in face of reports to the federal reserve board that unemployment was “particularly severe” in the Cleveland district, where 12,000 Akron workers were out ob Joba and that In the Maine canning district 15,000 were unemployed. Reports to the American Federation of Labor, according to Secretary Frank Morrison, showed unemployment in the garment and textile trade and in some sections of the building trades. Densmore reports showed factories which shut down during the summer, throwing many thousands out of work, were gradually resuming operation, he said, and that the 12,000 men dismissed by the Pennsylvania railroad ore being absorbed by western lines. “There has been a slight surplus in the building trades, but this is being rapidly reduced by increased construction,” Densmore said.
