Governor Smith’s Denial of Sinclair Fund Ties
New York Governor Smith rejects accusations of oil scandal links, saying Sinclair did not contribute to his campaigns in 1920 or any other year. Records show Sinclair gave 1000 to Tammany Hall in 1918 and 250 in 1926, plus 5000 to a Republican committee in 1922, with Nye promising a full reply after receipt of the governor’s letter. Frank Haims, founder of Off the Street, dies in Chicago at 63.
