HUGHES ISSUES FORMAL DENIAL WASHINGTON, May 14 — Secretary of State Hughes today issued a formal denial of charges in Congress that his influence resulted in the sale of the ex-Austrian steamer Martha Washington to an Italian firm for $60,000 aloft the United States shipping board had an offer of $210,000 from an American concern. The charges were made in connection with the investigation of the shipping board by a special house committee. "The statement that I had anything to do with the sale of the Martha Washington is absolutely false," Hughes said. "I have had nothing to do with this matter since I became secretary of state." In 1919, when I was practicing law and before I had any idea of becoming secretary of state, I was consulted by the attorneys of the Italians, who claimed the vessel. "I believed that their claim was a just one and took the matter up. While the vessel had been seized by this government while she flew the Austrian flag, she belonged to Trieste, and to a corporation organized and controlled by Italy. When Trieste went to Italy the corporation was recognized by Italy as an Italian corporation and the Italians sought the return of the vessel. The question was whether the government should confiscate the vessel which really belonged to its associates in war. My connection with the matter completely ended before I became secretary of state. When, a long time afterward, I learned that the shipping board had brought questions relating to the vessel before the department of state. I declined, because of my previous connection as above stated, to have anything to do with the matter. The matter was handled exclusively under the direction of Mr. Phillips, the undersecretary of state on the advice of the solicitor's office, without any relation to me. I did not discuss the question with foreign news. MELILA, May 14.—Five Spanish officers and two privates were wounded while consolidating new military positions in the Sidi Mesnud sector today.
