Lilleys Story Heard Hobson Approached In Submarine Inquiry
Washington March 12 The Lilley submarine boat inquiry opened with Representative Lilley testifying at length after ending a long statement detailing charges. Hobson testified he was approached by a man from Electric Boat Company offering influence to sway Congress if his support for submarine legislation continued. Lilley named Connecticut manufacturers and lawyers tied to Electric Boat and Lake Boat interests and discussed amendments and open competition in naval contracts. Hobson identified Lawrence Speer of New York as the man who spoke of influence with Speaker Cannon to secure his Naval Affairs Committee seat, while noting talks with Williams the minority leader. The hearing proceeded with questions on who pressed for favorable submarine legislation and how appointments to the Naval Committee were obtained. The session adjourned after brief remarks and requests for future testimony.
