Wilson Will Not Be Called To Testify In Lobby Probe
Washington June 7. Senator Townsend accused President Wilson of being the biggest hobbyist in Washington but the senate committee investigating the insidious lobby will not summon the president. Acting chairman Reed said the charge rests on hearsay and the committee is seeking to identify the lobby and its opposition to the tariff bill. No session was held. Cummins signaled he will push for full information and named patronage against the lobby. The president deems Townsend's charges vague and unreadiness to testify.
