Sea Grit, y. J., July 19.--There is a
strong probability that William @. Nc
Adoo, the tunnel builder will be chosen
as vice-chairman Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. After discussing Inc
various details Of the coming campaign
with the Governor at his cottage here until
almost midnight last night, eight Of his
tried and true advisers got together at
the New Monmouth Hotel, at Spring Lake
this morning and talked and planned some
more
Governor Wilson was not at this morn
ing's conference, neither was William G
McAdoo, and this served to strengthen the
belief that McAdoo will be named as vice.
chairman.
The vice-chairmanshp was one Of the
things discussed this morning, and, ac-
cordng to one on the inside Of what took
place in the little room in the Spring Lake
hotel the selection OF Mr.. McAdoo has
been practically decided upon.
No decision has as yet been reached on
the treasurership. The name Of Henry
Morgenthau, John d. Crimnins, Nathan
Straus and Herman Ridder, the present
lliGuIUDcIIl, "tlC dlAiOAS NAiOSS bANsei'N Nb'
and IL now looks as though Mr.. Ridder can
have the place II he wants ii. Mr.. Rid
der is expected 10 testify before the COM
mittee that IS investigating campaign
funds at Washington tomorrow. and the
tip has gone forth that his testimony will
prove a big help to the Democrats.
Mr.. McCombs had final talk with Gov
ernor Wilson before going TO New York
to meet Norman l.. Mack at the Knicher-
booker Hotel Mr.. Davies. the new secre-
tary, followed Mr. McComSs 10 New York
on a later train. s,nator OGorman went
10 Washington, while the other conferrees
went TO New York on evening trains.
Committee Will Meet Here.
The new campaign committee. or as
many members Of IL as can be got to-
gether will hold its first meeting in New
York at ! o'clock on Monday. at some
place 10 he settled by Chairman McCombs,
probably the Knickerbocker Hotel
Among the things still 10 be settled by
the Governors advisers is the selection
Of d man 10 take charge Of the Chicago
Headquarters. II Nj. McAdoo IS made
yice-chairman ne Will remain at the New
York headquarters, as his business inter-
ests are such that he could not take Up
the Western end.
\ finance committee has also to be
chosen, and Il seems d pretty safe guess
that Il Mr.. Morgenthau or Mr.. .Crimmins
is not made treasurer they will be found
Oh this important committee.
"A 10 lon
mouth Hotel was in progress TON"
Smith, secretary OF Tammany Hall, wan.
d.red into the Totunda OF the hotel and
solemnly told the newspaper men that ne
had come to see Senator O'Gorman. II
was noticed. however, that Mr.. Smith
went away without seeing the New York
Senator. bat not before he and Chairman
McCombs had five-minute heart-to-heart
talk In one OF the quiet corners OF the
hotel
II was i-urned afterward that the real
object OF Toms" visit was TO arrange
q meeting between the new chairman Of
the Democratic National Committee and
Charles + Murphy. the boss OF Tam
many. Nj. Smith apparently did not have
much difficulty in arranging the confer
ence, because when he and Colonel Nc
Combs emerged from their quiet corner
both were In exceedingly happy spirits.
When Governor Wilson was asked TO-
night what he thought OF Colonel Roose-
yelt's editorial in THE Outlook" charg-
ing that he was the nominee OF the Demo
cratic bosses he said he hadn't seen il
and therefore would not discuss il.
