M1) Ruth Hanna McCormkk, ltr publican candidate for the United States Senate, tonight issued a statement charging that Senator Nye adjourned the session of his Senate Investigating committee abruptly today because he feared that sensational disclosures re-fleeting on the committee were Impending.

Mrs. McCormirk said he Is ready to prove that Investigators for the Nye committee had tapped her telephone wires and added: -I say that If Senator Nye had knowledge of wire-tapping by his employees he Is unfit to be a United States Senator and unfit to be chairman of a Senatorial committee." CHICAGO. Sent. 15. UPh-Demand for a hearing In behalf of the State and Mrs.

Ruth Hanna Mccormick and announcement that seized records of private detectives employed by her will oe entered in the record marked the brief but stormy session today of the Senate campaign funds committee investigating expenditures of toe Republican Senatorial nominee. Request for the hearing was made by Carlstrom, and after a conference in chambers with other committee members Senator Nye, chairman, acceded. Carlstrom will be permitted to read a prepared statement at tomorrow's session. DETAILS WITHHELD No Indication was given concerning the nature of the statement. The flare-up at today's session, which lasted only ten minutes, was precipitated when Senator Nye announced that approximately fifty telegrams pertaining to the Dan-1 nenberg detective agency have been obtained by the committee from telegraph company files and will be read into the record tomorrow.

Attorneys for the agency shouted emphatic protest, terming the action "an outrageous invasion" of their client's rights. SEIZURE PROTESTED "All of Mr. Dannenberg's private papers and documents, Intrusted to the telegraph company, whether they concerned this case or not, have been taken without his knowledge and without his consent," Charles O. RundalL, attorney for Dannenberg, declared. "They might Just as well break Into his office and take whatever papers and documents they found lying around.

"Senator Nye has said all the time that this committee would hold no secret session and yet this morning he and the committee held a secret session and received all the papers and messages they wished. They say they will make them public tomorrow, which means that no matter what confidential business Mr. Dannenberg has, of any nature whatever, it Is open to the public eye." "Neither the committee nor I have any statement whatever to make," Senator Nye said. "We shall begin tomorrow where we left off, to investigate this espionage and campaign expenditures." -1 Scenes the actor by his first marriage, who father at the time he was stricken.

Then poisonous car bon monoxide gas nuea me caom.

We opened everything openable to let in the air and get rid of the fumes, but it didn't seem to do much good. We were in a desperate plight out there over the wide and desolate Pacific with the land behind us a vast distance away, with the land ahead of us even more remote. The gas continued to blow back on us so disastrously that we could scarcely breathe. Indeed, every breath we could take was an added peril. Gatty suffered acutely, and the fainting attacks began to seize him.

ENGINE FALTERS And then the engine started to stop on us every little while. The windmill pump, forcing fuel from the wins tank, had partly Jailed. Finally a dense fog closed in around us. We could see nothing. And then It was that we were forced to turn about and head back for Japan, the nearest land.

Any-thing else would have been suicide, nothing less. We made every effort to get out of the fog. Sometimes we went down to within twenty feet of the sea. Again we'd rise to a height of 4000 feet. We could go no higher nor even remain for any length of time at that altitude, because of our failing fuel supply.

But wherever we turned, the fog clung to us. gray, wet, impenetrable. It got thicker instead of lighter. HARD DECISION But our decision to return was due solely to the monoxide gas. We were equipped to overcome our other trouble and, in fact, had almost fin ished repairing the pump and cleaning the line.

The decision to turn back 'was a hard one to make. We might have reached Alaska, but the chances were great that we would crash and a crash certainly, would not help aviation. And then, too. if we returned the ship undamaged a new attempt would be possible;" At 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon we sent out a radio call, telling of our Plight. But after finally resolving to turn back we had next to find out which way was back.

Night fell and we kept pounding on without knowing where we were flying. The gas was still punishing us. Every now and then the engine would falter and our hearts would almost stop. Then the motor would pick up again, but it seemed hopeless for us. DANGER OF CRASH Then the fog lifted for an instant and Gatty saw- the shine of a star, dimly.

That was oil Kamchatka. He made observations and we swung the plane in the right direction. But the fog closed In on us again. It was so thick it ran off the plane like water. But that was not our only trouble.

We had to hug the Kuriles group because of motor trou ble and that added to all our difficulties the danger of crashing into a mountain peak. Once we had a very narrow escape. Gatty was at the controls and I was working on the gas line. We decided to change places and while we were doing so the motor taiiea. We dropped as it shot and that seemed the end of all things for us.

But at the last moment the motor resumed. We could see water less than 300 fest below.

Both Gatty and I'literally fell from the cabin door and staggered for three-quarters of a mile up the beach. We dropped exhausted and did not awake for two hours.

15. (Nana) Approval of another attempt by Lieut. Harold Bromley and his navigator, Harold Gatty, to span the Pacific by air from Japan to Tacoma was given here today by John Buffelen, principal backer of the flight, who has steadfastly maintained that the two 'fly ets are' qualified and properly equipped to make the trip. "Of course, it is up to Bromley," said Buffelen. "He is on the ground and knows the conditions exactly.

I will leave it up to him to make the decision. I am back of any decision he may make and I have confidence that he can make the flight. His flight of twenty-five hours over open sea in face of adverse conditions has clearly demonstrated his ability to fly in the face of heavy odds."
