He also said that he had heard that the Herman embassy had received information from abroad. "Don't you think," asked Mr. Harrison, "that the news leaked out from foreign powers and came out in that way?" "I would have to know more about the conditions in that respect at the foreign capitals," replied Mr. Wood. "No political influence actuated you in introducing this resolution," asked Mr. Harrison. "I hope not," replied Wood. "No, sir. These charges are infamous, the acts charged are infamous. If the charges are untrue, those against whom suspicion has been cast should be cleared of it." Mr. Harrison referred to Secretary Lansing's conference with newspaper men on the morning of December and suggested that some were present who were not newspaper men. Mr. Wood said he had heard intimations of that. Mr. Harrison then suggested that representatives of the Wall Street Journal and Panama American were present, and that their duties were to collect that would affect the market. He also said that these journals are maintained by stockbrokers, and vugster it might have been that those financial reporters sent telegrams to their offices and that that was the way the information could not. Mr. Wood replied he did not know about that. Mr. Harrison explained that the secretary Lansing on that occasion asked the newspaper men to keep faith on what it was.  "In the midst of them, and added that the more important matters were kept, the faith." Lansing at that conference merely stated that a message had been dispatched, specifically said it did not concern people, and refused to give further information of its contents.
