Before Senate Wire Tapping committee. Washington, D.C., June 12. During an appearance before the Senate Wire Tapping Committee today, Joseph N. 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
