propriated for a high cost of living in
vestigation has been expended.
Kenyon said that at every place the
committee has held sessions, testimony
has been obtained which will broaden
the scope of the investigation.
All pre-convention expenditures will
be taken up before the election dis
bursements of the various putties and
senatorial candidates are touched on.
The committee inquired into the cam
paign expenses of both Cox and Hard

tive campaign from the standpoint of
finances,’’ according to members.
The committee will not conclude its
hearings until all matters brought to its
attention are thoroughly gone over. Sen
ator Kenyon declared.
