COLUMBUS, Ohio - Investigators are looking into whether a coin dealer charged with illegally funneling donations to President Bush's re-election campaign also disguised contributions to statewide candidates, a newspaper reported.

Tom Noe, 51, pleaded innocent last month to charges that he exceeded federal limits on campaign contributions by writing checks to friends and associates who then wrote their own checks to the Bush campaign.

A state and federal task force is looking at the possibility that Noe funneled illegal donations to statewide candidates, said Phil Richter, executive director of the Ohio Elections Commission.
