Senate orders fund inquiry in New Jersey primary
The Reed Campaign Funds Committee will investigate expenditures in the Republican New Jersey Senate primary. Hamilton F. Kean leads after incomplete returns. The probe may focus on the Republican race while Democrat Edwards ran unopposed. The move follows past Reed committee actions on 1926 Pennsylvania and Illinois contests. Congress sent Farm Relief and Merchant Marine bills to the White House, with Coolidge likely to veto the farm relief measure.
