REPRESENTATIVES DEAL IN STOCKS Broker Testifies Member of House Did Not Sell Short; to Give Names Washington, Feb. 9. Now life suddenly was injected into the "leak" inquiry to-day by the testimony of George B. Chipman, local manager for Harrimun it Company, New York brokers, that certain members ot the House of Representatives dealt in stocks with him. Chairman Henry called for the names of the members and Chipman promised to furnish them. Chipman testified that so far as he knew no member of Congress had sold stocks "short" during the "peace note leak" period. He said he had no senators' names on his books, but was unable to say whether his customers included secretaries to senators and representatives. Chipman declared that he had not paid for "tips" on governmental ac tivities since 1914. He found, he said, that information ho bought usually was of no value. J. 1.. Livermore, Wall street's wide ly-known "three time millionaire," Chipman said, wired him from New York on December 20 asking him if he had heard a peace note was to be issued. Chipman replied negatively. Llvermore responded with information which Clement. Curtis & Company, of Chicago, previously hud sent E. F. Hutton & Company. Chipman replied that he thought the report untrue. bater in the day, Chipman said, he called up I". A. Connolly, of F. A. Connolly, of F. A. Connolly & Com pany, and learned that a peace note was to be issued. Examination of correspondents who were told in confidence by Secretary Lansing on December 20 that a note was coming then began. After in terrogating Stephen T. Early, of the Associated Press, Carl D. Groat, of the United Press, and Charles D. Warner of the Christian Science Monitor, the committee recessed.
