MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 4.—Governor James M. Cox today,
charged that Will H. Hays, Republican national chairman, had de-
liberately perpetrated a falsehood under oath in Chicago in the
Senate committee's investigation of Republiean contributions.
Governor Cox’s charge, the culmination of bitter partisan con-
troversy of campaign financing, was delivered at the State fair
grounds this afternoon during one of seven speeches the Democratic
nominee made during the day's tour of Wisconsin.

ernor.
"I charge that there is a quota, I charge furthermore that Mr.
Hays deliberately perpetrated a falsehood under oath at Chicago
when he said there was not a quota.”

LONDON, Sept. 4.—The condition
of Lord Mayor MacSwiney of Cork

7 o’clock this evening apparently deep-

Mrs. MacSwiney and the lord may-

American, French, Spanish, Italian and
Belgian embassies to ask them to make
urgent representations to their gov-
ernments. None of the ambassadors
was in town. The Belgian secretary
alone was found and promised he would
report Mayor MacSwiney’s case to the
ambassador on his return.
The reasons why the government
will not release MacSwiney are given

WASHINGTON, Rept. 4.--It was sald
today at the State. Department that no
immediate reply was contemplated to
I the notes received from the Polish gov-
ernment in connection with the corres-
pondence over the Russian-Polish sit-
uation. although officials do not be-
lieve the last word has yet been said
in the discussion.
It was intimated that the American
government was not inclined to press
its point on a matter requiring poise
and calm reflection at a timie when
Polish officials are fully occupied with
military measures. Insistence under
these conditions upon a definite state-
ment by Poland of her purpose to re-
I spect Russian territorial intergrity was
not to be expected. It was indicated.
While by no means abandoning the
contention that Poland should definite-
ly reounce any purpose of action which
might be construed an imperialistic, the
state department has taken the position
that the Poles be permitted to satify
themselves that all danger of further
invasion of Poland by the bolsheviki
has passed before withdrawing to the
enthnographic frontier.

ing this announcement tonight,
experts of the department added
that “the possibilities of straw
gas are not yet fully determined.''
A special force has been detail-
ed to the Arlington station to
continue the tests with various
straws and to work out a model
plant for the distillation of the
gas.
“If a suitable unit can ne cont
structed,’ "the announcement
said, "so that the farmers' initial
cost will be small, it seems like-
ly that the straw gas may hnye
a certain economic value in sec-
tions of the country where the
raw material la now considered
as waste and is burned or left
