Oil committee hears scattered testimony on 1920 deal
Witnesses in the oil inquiry test to conflicting rumors about an oil deal at the 1920 Republican convention. Carmi A. Thompson denies knowledge of any deal while Harold Vivian cites Hays telegrams about a stock transaction aiding the RNC deficit. Other witnesses deny ties to Teapot Dome and defend themselves against circulating reports.
