HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH COX PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE GAINING I [Continued From First Page] It "wns also intimated that Mayor Smith, of Philadelphia, would bo here late In the day to consult with the Governor. The Cox people have almost gotten to the point where they will issu some figures. Representative I. K. Urlcli, of Lebanon, claimed by the Baldwin men, was asserted to-day to be with Cox along with others. The Cox people announced that a number of statements of members telling why they are for the Philadelphian would be issued. Baldwin headquarters declined to make any statement but stood by the claims of n week ago. Numerous peo ple called on the ninn from Delaware. It is understood that the members will vote for neither Cox nor Baldwin but will support A. B. Hess, of 1 .ancaater city.

President Wilson has tentatively agreed with administration leaders in Congress on a bond Issue to meet part of the Treas ury deficit which confronts the govern ment for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918, estimated at about $180,000,- 000. With Secretary McAdoo the President is working on other plans for raising additional revenue. The President ha 3 pointed out that ho believes a bond issue should be used only to meet, temporary and emergency expenditures. Many of these have been caused bv the Mexican situation. The Treasury already has authority hy previous acts of Congress to issue Panama bonds and about $240,000,000 of these are available. They would bear 3 per cent. Plans for raising the other revenue are understood to concern the income tax, an inheritance tax and special taxes on Internal revenue and im ports. The deficit figures differ according to congressional and administration viewpoints. Secretary McAdoo esti mated in his annual report the actual deficit in the working balance of the Treasury on June 20, 1918, at $185,583,000, which accounts for ap propriations unexpended combined with the left-over balance. The congressional appropriations committee, basing their estimates upon the actual appropriations without re gard to whether the executive depart ments spend all or part of the appro priations, flguro $313,269,654 as the deficit. Want Lawson to "Put Up or Shut Up" in So-Called Leak on Peace Note Washington, D C., Dec. 29.—The controversy which has followed Con gressman Wood's resolution for In vestigation of whether any member of President Wilson's official family profited in the stock market because of "inside information" on the Presi dent's peace notes got into semiofficial form to-day when Chairman Henry, of tho House rules committee, tele graphed Thomas W. Lawson, of Bos ton, to come to Washington and sub stantiate his published statements that he knew of the so-called leak and his prediction that there would be an other. "Put up or shut up," said Chairman Henry's telegram. "Cease slandering and libeling Congress and public of ficials or make good your charges." Mr. Henry announced that he would reintroduce his bill next Tuesday to the New York Stock Ex change. "If Mr. lawson states the truth about Wall Street and an alleged leak," he said, "it conclusively shows that the bill introduced by me in the Sixty third Congress to regulate tho New York ?tock Exchange should be speedily passed and should even be made more drastic. "This short session should find a way to protect the American people against such crimes as the one Just perpetrated by Wall Street, If Mr. Lawson is anywhere near the truth."
