(Examination resumed another day.)
Senator Bristow—“Now, Mr. Warburg, when we closed Saturday some Senator asked you in regard to political contributions, and I understood you to say that you contributed to Mr. Wilson’s campaign.”
Mr. Warburg—“No; my letter says that I offered to contribute; but it was too late. I came back to this country only a few days before the campaign closed.”
Senator Bristow—“So that you did not make any contribution?”
Mr. Warburg—“I did not make any contribution; no.”
Senator Bristow—“Did any members of your firm make contributions to Mr. Wilson’s campaign?”
Mr. Warburg—“I think that is a matter of record. Mr. Schiff contributed. I would not otherwise discuss the contributions of my partners, if it was not a matter of record. I think Mr. Schiff was the only one who contributed in our firm.”
Senator Bristow—“And you stated that your brother had contributed to Mr. Taft’s campaign, as I understand it?”
Mr. Warburg—“I did. But again, I do not want to go into a discussion of my partners’ affairs, and I shall stick to that pretty strictly, or we will never get through.”
Senator Bristow—“I understood you also to say that no members of your firm contributed to Mr. Roosevelt’s campaign.”
Mr. Warburg—“I did not say that.”
Senator Bristow—“Oh! Did any members of the firm do that?”
