HEARST DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF 1920 G.O.P. DEAL
By United Press Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, April 22.--William Randolph Hearst, publisher, today notified the senate oil committee that he knew nothing of rumored "deals" at the 1920 Republican national convention.
Hearst was named by I. W. Ballard, Los Angeles oil man, as one who would corroborate his testimony that the late Jake Hamon unsuccessfully attempted to engineer a deal at the convention whereby he was to have become secretary of the interior.
In reply to a telegram from Senator Stanfield, Oregon, member of the committee, Hearst said he could tell it nothing, terming Ballard's testimony "supremely silly."
