Hobson, of Alabama, before the spe oial committee of the House investi gating the charges made by Repre sentative George Lilley, of Connect icut, that he had been approached by a representative of the Electric Boat Company, wbo offered to use his in fluence with the Speaker to have Mr. Hobson placed on the naval affairs committee if he "stood right on sub marines" was contradicted before that committee by Lawrence Spear, the former naval 'officer who Mr. Hobson said had spoken to him. Mr. Spear said he had not made any promises to secure the influence of Speaker Cannon or any one else and that ho never had tried to influence them; in fact, he said, he did not know the Speaker. Mr. Spear claimed that his company had never endeavored to suppress competition: had never received any legislative or departmental favors and had never received an order from the Navy De partment except as the result of suo cassful competition.

Griggs and others and which Mr. Lilley had re pudiated, Mr. Lord said the inter view was absolutely correct.

Mr. Lord stated that as the result of Mr. Lilley's charges he had lost, his position. In answer to a ques tion propounded by Mr. Littleton Mr. Lord said that a complaint by Mr. Lake had been made to his pa per about something he had written concerning the Lake Boat which also may have been instrumental in hav ing him discharged.

He said he did not consider that he was work ing for the Electric Boat Company when he wrote these stories; that he did the work for Mr. McNier.
