LIGHT TO DEWED ON GBEAT CAMPAIGN FlimEW. Congressional Probe Planned bv Democrats to Show Man ner of Colossal Expenditures for Hughes BT RALPH SMITH, WASHINGTUN. D- C-. Nov. IS.—The colossal Republican campa.gn fund and the manner of its expend.ture will be opened to the light of publicity if the Democrats succeed In their plans for a congressional Investigation. Th s in quiry will be aside from the investiga tion now being conduvted by the de partment- of Justice into alleged election frauds. While the Republicans have not filed their final report of contributions and expenditures, enough is already known to leave no doubt that Mark Haunts dollar mark campaign of 18 96 pales into Insignificance as compared to the prof ligate expenditures in the Hughes cam paign. In their preliminary report the Republicans admit to the expenditure of f2.8i»6.877 and this does not include the funds disbursed by individuals which w.ll not have to be accounted for. Democrats believe that sinister mo tives underlie the fact that Republi can funds this year were disbursed through a number of specially cre ated committees and alliances. They are especially anx.ous to know more about the National Hughes alliance and its auxiliary organtzat.ona. It is the belief of Democrats that the National Hughes all ance grew out of'a meeting called by J. K Morgan early in September. J P. Morgan, George F. Baker. George W. Perkins Doula Clark. Frank A. Vanderhp. Charles Mac Kay and H. F. Sinclair were among the big contributors to the Hughes alliance. METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION. Funds were distributed in many states by local Hughes alliances and this. It is argued, furnished a means by which contributors and expenditures might be easily hidden. Then there was the Hughes alliance reserve, which admits to hav.ng expended S4*».OPO. The woman's committee of the Hughes al liance also expended over $ 130.000 There are a number of other com mittees reporting expenditures, among the strangest of which is the Republi can national publicity committee. Its statement shows mat this committee was . ormed In October. Guy Emerson, of New York, treasurer, is its only in dicated official. On the next day after the committee was formed. November 1. Mr Emerson reported that a total of $54,300 campa’gn contributions had been received, of which SI,OOO from C. A. Coffin and ss.dbj from B. X Tounkera. Al) New York financiers, comprised the major portion. The com mittee reported no campaign ’expendi tures • Then there is the empunja of the an town dry goods ascoclatioff. New York, whjch received $42,878 for Hughes cam paign up till October 3. The American Independent conference, apparently an organization of German sympathizers, received contributions of $16,083 to be spent In Hushes behalf. Several Detroit men are Us principal contributors John Wanamaker is the only Individ ual who makes a report of money spent tn either national campaign Mr. Wan amaker reports that he spent Indepenn tently $9,000 in behalf of Hughes up to October SO. One place that the Democrats believe they have Information that wPI lead to prosecutions for fraud In the elec’loh Is Indiana. It has been hintd that pro ceedings may be brought before the the Democratic senate in an effort to un seat Harry S. New and James Watson, newly elected «e"ator from i”dlana. ATTITUDE OF G O P. The Republicans declare that they wt'l show Just as startling facts from the list of Democratic contributions and Just an many unreported contributions to Wi’son. as are uncovered on their side if the Democrats force the issue, but the Democratic campaign statements are o* v«*rv different character from the Repub lican. The contributions to the Democratic national committee up to November 8. (they have already “snorted six dnvs la ter than the Republican) total $1,429.- €25.29. As with the Republicans them were a number of Independent organiza tions work’ng f n r Wilson but they ac cumulated very little money on their own * hook. For examrls there is the national Woodrow WHson college men’s league, which received a total of sl3 208. but J'.s)o of this amount was transferred from the fund’of »he nemocratlc nation al committee. Simi’arly the national committee supplied $5.n00 of’he SII,WM> expended hy the Wilson business men’s leacue. f»8.500 of the sio.ooo fund yf the Woodrow Wilson independent 'eague and practically ail of the funds spent bv the Democratic congressional committee.

TWO CEOffl CITIES Kill CO-OPEKTE TO IIETHTEIW Atlanta Chamber of Commerce Gives Its Hand to Delegation From West Point on Latter’s Effort The Atlanta chamber of commerce pledged earnest co-operation to a dele gation from the West Point chamber Wednesday morning to assist that city in every way possible to secure the government's proposed $20,000,000 ni trate plant for the Chattahoochee river This action was taken at a breakfast in honor of Congressman W. C. Adamson of the Fourth district .at the Ansley ho tel at 8 o’clock, given by the Atlanta chamber of commerce, and attended by a delegation of 14 members of the West Point chamber of commerce. As has been pointed out. the con struction of a dam and nitrate plant on the Chattahoochee river at West Point would make practically the en tire river from Atlanta to West Point navigable and would pave the way for making the Chattahoochee river navi gable to the gulf. Thus would Atlanta hold wonderful prospects of soon be coming a river port. The Atlanta chamber of commerce and the West Point chamber of com merce will send a delegation to Well ington in a few weeks to present claims for the government’s plant. vuii»res..iuai. Adams >n was one of the mpst enthusiastic speakers in behalf of he Chattahoochee river’s claims tor the plant. Judge Adamson declared that on the merits of the case the Chatta luxicheo river was* entitled to get a ni trate plant. He said it was possble .nat the authorities at Washington may decide to divide the $2v.b00,000 apj ro ; rlatlon and expend $10,000,000 each for he building of two nitrate plants.

He staled that three great engineers, after an ex amination of the river, assured him .hat it was the best prospect for hydro electric development iu the whole I’nited States. The citizens of West Point have been tlive to the wonderful possibilities ahead or them and they have for some weeks been making determined efforts to j»re «»it their claims. On Tuesday after noon a mass meeting was held in Weal Point and In a very few minutes $3,00k In subscriptions had been raised to pay any expenses incurred tn presenting these claims. At this meeting Mark McCullough presided, while George H. Lanier was named permanent chalr- ■ nn When Secretary Walter G.

B-AXEB. COMMERCE. Ga., Nov. 15.—Georgia' Baptists will begin at an early date, a campaign to raise about half a mil-, lion dollars to pay all debts on the property of the con vent.on. When this has been done all the property of the’ convention will be deeded to a com-1 mission of seven that will have control' of IL This commission will have tn its hands all the notes and accounts held by the body against private Indi viduals and shall proceed to collect them as they shall see ft. It shall hold* all uroQ*r»- of the convention, but shall not have "anything to do with managing the different departments of the convention’s work. The property of the convention in cludes Mercer university, Bessie Tift college, the hospital in Atlanta, the or phans' home Hapeville. certain farms, high schools and other property is valued at $1,185,000. The committee of five will be con tinued and will have the power to se lect a manager to look after raising the debL Salary enough will be paid him to guarantee a first-class man. The nominating committee of the present convention will name the com mission of seven and they will begin at once to have the charter prepared under which they are to work. On account of the debts on the property none of it can be transferred to the commission until these debts are cleared off. The will of the convention is that in the future no board of trustees shall have the power to give a mortgage on any property they control. The entire /horning session was de voted to the discussion of the report or the committee of five and it was adopt ed by a unanimous vote.

It revolutionizes the machinery of the convention and the session th's morning was regarded to be the great- i est in the history of the convention.
