When Henry Wade read the wrong name in the press conference, it was a mistake on Wade's part. The correct name had already been given ("leaked"?) to the TV media, and of course New Orleans PD, TV/radio people in New Orleans, and the FBI knew all about it (whether the fistfight in New Orleans was an FBI "operation", or from the 90 minute FBI interview of Oswald in the New Orleans jail, or from the radio debate with Bringueir, or the TV interview of Oswald). So Ruby was more well informed than Texas DA Henry Wade, but his knowledge of the correct name of the committee did not necessarily originate from Mafia or CIA sources.
Ruby's high level of interest in Oswald (at this "early" stage) is spotlighted by this event. It seems likely that, had Ruby defense lawyer Melvin Belli known about this event, and also about the press interview (after Oswald's death) where Wade admitted interacting with Ruby in the police station (while Oswald was alive), that the defense could have had Wade recused from prosecuting the case, because Wade was a witness to facts tending to prove premeditation, and could have been called to testify as a witness at Ruby's trial.
Either Belli didn't know, or Belli didn't care.
