What purported to be "confidential committee reports" were made public, and were declared to "reveal in detail the secret purposes, plans and scope of the radical political organization promoted by Jeremiah A. O'Leary and his associate propaganda and organizers."
Chairman McCormick and former Governor Martin H. O'Leary denied tonight a statement issued from Republican headquarters quoting a telegram from Will K. McDonald, of Chicago. In which he charged that Mr. O'Leary had conferred on a train with O'Leary just before President Wilson's speech "of acceptance. The McDonald telegram said Mr. O'Leary had asked O'Leary to use his influence to induce the American Independence Conference not to throw its support to Mr. Hughes until after the subject had been discussed by Mr. Glynn with President Wilson.
Mr. O'Leary declared he met O'Leary on the train and talked with him "about politics, the weather and many other things" in the public smoking compartment of their car, but added that he never at any time mentioned the conversation to President Wilson.
Mr. McCormick asserted he never, saw or heard of O'Leary until after O'Leary's telegram to President Wilson.
