WILSON TO TELL WHOGAVETO GAMPAIGN Always Favored Such Publicity and Will Welcome Investi gation, He Says. SEAGIRT. Aug. 30.—Governor Wil son has expressed himself satisfied with the senate resolution calling for an in vestigation of all pre-convention cam paign funds, and says that he will wel come an investigation of the fund used in bringing about his nomination at Baltimore. "1 am absolutely in favor of publici ty.” he said. "I have always held that position. I have always approved it, and will welcome an investigation of my pre-convention fund as a matter of course." "Do you care to have the names of your backers known?” was asked. "Certainly,” was the reply. "But, to tell the truth. I don't know myself, ex cept in a general way, who had charge of my campaign in the various states. 1 merely kept a general oversight over my campaign fund. Three times we had no fund at all.” "Was there any particularly large contribution that you recall?” “I don't know. Mr. McCombs would know about that.” he replied. “All Spent For Publicity." “So far as the public knows. Mr. Mc- Combs was the largest contributor,” was suggested. "Yes. Mr. McCombs and I were in constant touch regarding the sources from which funds were to be accepted We had a considerable office force in New York, and practically all the money' we spent was for publicity, for distributing news through the press. We did not volunteer it. We sent it out whenever it was asked for. We did not ask the newspapers to use it. That, as you know, is extremely costly busi ness. I know there were times when Mr. McCombs did not know where the money was coming from to settle ex penses on the next pay day.” "Could you make any estimate of the amount of money spent in your pre convention campaign?” was asked. "I have no means of making such an estimate. I never was at the headquar ters of the committee and never saw' things that were actually done.” "You declined a contribution from Thomas F. Ryan, did you not?" Would Not Take Ryan’s Money. "1 personally did not. Mr. McCombs I did. But I ought not to say that, be- i cause it leaves the impression that Mr. ! Ryan offered money. He .did not. I ■ declined to see Mr. Ryan, and Mr. Mc- Combs declined to let anybody ask Mr. Ryan for a contribution.” "So far as you know, there were no contributions that were returned?” he was asked. "So far as I know, none." the gov ernor replied. When it was suggested that the sen ate inquiry might embarrass some of his opponents, the governor smilingly replied that he hoped they had not been "as hard up” as he has been for funds. . "I’ve got my grip back this morning, . said Governor Wilson today when he greeted the new spaper men. His hand | was still tired, he said, from the vigor ous handshaking ordeal of yesterday. The governor left at noon for the Mon mouth county fair, at Redbank, N. J., where some more handshaking was in store for him. At Buffalo Labor Day. The governor announced his plans ■ for the trip to Buffalo. N. Y. He will leave New York city Sunday night and reach Buffalo the next day. In the afternoon at Brauns park he will ad dress a labor celebration arranged by the United Trades and Labor council. In the evening the governor will be en tertained at dinner by the Erie county Democracy, and then address a citizens meeting at the Sixty-fifth regiment ar mory, which seats over 10,000 persons. The governor will go from Buffalo to Trenton Monday night. Joseph Kratina, a European sculptor, has just modeled a bust of Governor Wilson in clay, to be done later in bronze. The artist said the governor bore a wonderful facial resemblance to Joseph Chamberlain, former premier of England. The English newspapers, he said, had printed pictures of the two men side by side.

Miss Mary Jones Has Big Col- I • lection of Prizes Won in Tanbark Ring. Mary Algood Jones is a formidable name. When one reads in the papers that it belongs to the champion horse woman of the whole South one pictures a tall, imperious woman in glossy silk hat and with a hunting crop, posing against a hurdle. It’s a relief to find the name belongs to a jolly girl of eighteen, in a khaki divided skirt, a white middy blouse and a tangle of brown hair falling over a sun-tanned face. Miss Jones doesn’t "put on any side,” despite her recent victories at the Asheville horse show. She is as natural as most foik who prefer horses and dogs and out-of-doors to bridge, embroidery and gossip. But goodness knows she'd have a right to. If trophies count for anything. The wall of her "den," in the new West Fourteenth street home into which the Jones family is just moving, is fairly covered with rosettes and ribbons of blue, red and yellow—and they’re most ly blue, which means first prize. “Oh, that’s only a few." laughed Miss Jones. "You know I’ve ridden and won for lots of owners, but only a few gave me the ribbons. Naturally, they want to keep the trophies their horses won. Most of these I won with my own horses." $1,200 Mare One of Her Trophies. And speaking of trophies, what do you think of a magnificent brown mare, a real "high school horse," worth $1,200, being given as a prize by a horse show? Well, Hazel Queen is the horse and the Interstate association offered her to the best woman rider in the arena. Miss Jones entered. And now Hazel Queen Is trying to paw the walls out of Miss Jones' stable in West Four teenth street. She is a beauty and her new owner spends three-fourths of the time either in the saddle or in the paddock. And Hazel seems to be as fond of her mis tress as her mistress is of Hazel. And don't forget Cock Robin, the bay pony which has won so many blues for Miss Jones. Cock Robin is still there, just as much a pet as the beautiful mare, of whom he is plainly jealous. The two will win many a cup and ribbon on the tanbark in seasons to come. “Let me show you Hazel’s gaits,” said Miss Jones, after calling attention to the mare's beautiful lines. She swung herself inSo the saddle with ease, and Hazel high-stepped and caracoled up and down the paddock. Cock Robin raised his head in protest and expressed his feelings aloud, and his mistress had to come back and console him. Dant zig. the Dalmatian coach dog, asleep in the sunlight, woke up and ran to the stable for his share of petting. Prefers Horses to Motors. “How long have 1 been riding?' Miss Jones repeated in answer to a ques tion. "Why, since I was three years old. In the arena? Why, since 1 was ten ?" "And that is -?".The interviewer was embarrassed. "Oh, I'm eighteen now.” laughed the girl. "I don't mind telling. "Yes, I've had falls in the ring. Sev eral years ago my horse fell in the At lanta show It injured my ankle rather badly. I've had other tumbles, but none so bad as that. They made me ashamed of myself. "Like motoring'.’ I'm crazy about it. But I'd rather have my horses if 1 had to give up one or the other.” | DEATHS AND FUNERALS | John C. Waters. The funeral of John C. Waters, of 10 Woodw’ard avenue, who died yesterday morning, was held at Stone Mountain. Interment was in the family burial ground. Mr. Waters' death came after a long illness.

The Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland today was granted authority by the superior court to continue the construction of the Fulton court house, carrying out the contract held by Moise DeLeon when that prominent contractor disappeared in the North. No word has been heard from the missing man. and the receivers appointed to take charge of his business today asked the court to permit his bondsmen to continue the work. The bond company guaranteed De- Leon for an amount twice that of his contract, and should the work not be completed, the county could require the company to make good all losses. It was in the province of the company to take over the contract on its own ac count, and this it has done, upon order j of the court. The receivers. RonaJdl Ransom and H. L. Frazer, signed the I petition asking that the bondsmen bei permitted to assume the contract, and l continue it. Wife Refuses to Give Up Hope, While no word has come from Moise; DeLeon since he left a Chicago suburb 1 several weeks ago, presumably to go to I Saginaw, Mich., for a fishing trip, his I wife continues to express her confi dence in his return. "I shall never give up hope—never,“' she told a reporter. "1 am confident Mr. DeLeon Is in the woods somewhere and I will return.” Friends of the contractor are not so optimistic. They point out that De-1 Leon was methodical, careful, far seeing. and they say he would never! have gone away and left his business affairs unprovided for. They believe he wandered into some Chicago slum, was sandbagged by gangsters for the heavy j roll of bills and the fine watch he al ways carried, and his body sunk in the lake or river. The Chicago police have made a diligent search. Several bodies have been found and examined at the morgue, but none was that of the At lanta contractor. There is not the slightest clew to the movements of DeLeon since he left a friend's home near Chicago and started for Saginaw.
