 sentation On It-Wants a Heavy Contributor on Finance Committee.

Sea Girt N. J., July Manifestations at Sea Girt tonight, gathered from the party leaders with whom Governor Wilson has been in constant consulta- ton recently, are that William F. Me Combs of New York is his choice for chairman of the democratic national committees; William G. McAdoo of New Jersey, builder of the Hudson Tunnels, or Senator James A. OGor- man of New York for vice-chairman, and Joseph E. Davies, national com mitteeman from Wisconsin, for secre- tay.
 Recommendations to National Com
 mittee.
 These views and the following have been gleaned from a canvass Of the governors closets political friends. As to the contents of the message which Robert g. Hudspeth, Governor Wilson's spokesman in the national committee at Chicago, for It's action tomorrow, Governor Wilson has divulged no word. Nevertheless there is a uninimity of opinion among the nominees close friends that the message will contain in addition to the foregoing, other sug- gestions in substance as follows: That the national campaign head quarters be fixed at New oYrk, with a branch at Chicago and another at a western city, unnamed in the message. Proposed Member of Finance Com
 mittee.
 That there will be no specific sug- gestion concerning the identity of the treasurer of the committee or the finance committee, except that Henry Morgenthau, a wealthy real estate op- orator of New orkY, be given a place on the committee Mir. Morgenthau contributed largely to the Wilson cam paign fund for the ante nomination ght and the governors friends believe that he will be given a prominent place on the finance committee if the gover- nor's suggestion is followed.
 That the campaign committee con sist of men who have stood by the governor in his fight for the nomina- ton and will include Robert s. Hud- speth, national committeeman iron New Jersey, probably as chairman Josephus Daniels, national committee man from North Carolina; Joseph k Davies, national committeeman iron Wisconsin; Senator O'Gorman of New York and Gore of Oklahoma; Repre- sentative A. Mitchell Palmer of Penn sylvania; Willard Salisbury, nationa committeeman from Delaware; VII liam G. McAdoo and William F. Mo Combs.
 West Will Have no Representative. ], There are three Texans upon on of whom the governors friends asser representation on the campaign com mittee may fall. They are Represen tatiVes Burleson and Henry and Judg 7 ~1Ie fe ole ffa41 ~ they say, that Senator Obadiah Gard ner of Maine may be given a place O the committee.
 It Is understood that there is not
 man in the list from a far wester
 state. This, the governors advisor
 say, is due to the fact that the nom , inee wishes his campaign cemmitte to be as close to the national head { quarters as possible. so that a flu z meeting of members could be obtaine . | if needed with the least possible dela
 consistent with fair territorial repre- I sentation.
 Campaign Committee to Decide Viti
