If the day is fine the Governor prob.
ably will talk from little knoll in his
yard beneath group of elms. and his
audience will sit on camp stools on the
| green. This may be varied somewhat.
| and he may decide at the eleventh hour
TO stand on his front porch and place
his audience in the yard. Whatever
the details may be, the speech will be
delivered under his own vine and fig
tree.
Secretary Tumulty believes that the
speech has been written in full and
that the Governor will bring a COM
! plete draft Of II TO Sea Girt tomorrow
night. 1t Will be rushed to the printer
| Immediately.
| The Governor expects to 90 to Tren-
ton on Tuesday and has several ap-
| pointments with party leaders there
during the day. His appointment book
for the remainder Of the week also is
well filed.
! When he. gets back TO the summer
capital tomorrow night his friends
will urge him to take a hand at once
! in the battleship controversy which has
so split the ranks of the Democratic
Congressman, although word was re-
ceived here to-day that the friends of
J the battleship are confident that thew
will have a new caucus assured before
! that time.
There was no concealment among the
| friends Of Governor Wilson who drifted
| in here to-day of their displeasure at
the attitude of Speaker Clark, who.
! they charge, has deliberately tried to
embarrass the Governor In the open
ing days Of his campaign. Friends OF
the Governor believe there is sufficient
justification for these charges, too. for
according to the gossip that has come
here from Washington. certain Demo-
cratic statesmen there have openly
criticised Governor Wilson recently rs
being entirely too headstrong the more
SO since he forced tie selection of Will
lam F. McCombs as national chairman
III Feeling Toward Clark.
Speaker Clark created anything but
a favorable impression on his two Wis
its here. his crouch being so percepti-
BILE that some Of the Wilson men heat
cdly asserted that his days as Speaker
were soon to end, and that Oscar w.
Underwood would be the next Speaker.
with A. Mitchell Palmer. OF Pcnnsyl-
vania as floor leader
While the attitude Of Representative
Albert S. Burleson. of Texas chairman
of the House caucus, has caused many
pang among Governor Wilson's
friends, IT was said to-day by one in
close touch with the Governor that the
fact that Mr.. Burleson was on Gov
ernor Wilson's campaign committee did
not mean rs much as II looked He
would, no doubt have a hand in shap-
ing the Governors campaign, but there
his services ended. No one has been
able to state definitely just what Gov
ernor Wilson's attitude on the battleshlp
programme is, although It was assured
that the actions Of Mr.. Underwood are
to great extent in harmony with the
+ Governors views, for II is not more
than two weeks ago that the Governor
and the Democratic leader of the House
/ discussed pending legislation in detail.
and it is taken for granted that the
Governor at that time enlightened Mr..
Underwood as to his views on the bat
tleship question.
/ II is also understood that nearly all
the members OF the new campaign COM
mittee are for the carrying out of the
Democratic platform by building two
additional battleships, and that action
/ OF q positive kind would be taken at
/ the meeting tomorrow. One of the
members of the committee asserted to-
day that the details Of the campaign
probably would be the only things
taken jup at the meeting Tomorrow.
the reason being that 1t was considered
wiser to wait until the Governor re-
turned. so his views could be obtained
| II this programme is carried out 1t is
probable the committee will meet on
! Tuesday also.
J One thing was made clear. however
| that II it were found necessary TO put
| the screws on certain members of Con-
gress IT would be done without much
hesitation.
/ William G. McAdoo was here again
. to-day, and was in his usual uncom-
municative mood. He let II be known
that his business interests would pre-
vent his going to Chicago. He and Mr..
! Tumulty, the Governors secretary, mad
| a long chat. 1t developed that the only
thing they talked about was as TO
which would be the better place for the
Governor to deliver his speech of ac-
ceptance from-the porch Of his cot
tage or q knoll under a group of trees
| An elaborate plan for the collection
of campaign funds was unfolded here
I tonight, but nobody In authority
seemed willing to stand for II. Mr..
| Tumulty said that the Governor would
surely return tomorrow night. tie
would see the Governor In the morning.
