Pew, Jr., Pennsylvania Republican and official of the Sun Oil Co., flatly denied that he had engaged a private detective organization to 'watch' Democratic officials. However, he admitted that he hired Frank B. Bielaski, New York private detective, to 'watch stock transactions' in connection with a 'movement to rehabilitate' the Cramp Shipyards in Philadelphia. These shipyards, he said, were commercially unsound and could not be operated profitably
