 Nominee HINTS OF WHAT HIS
 MESSAGE WILL BE Full Committee Will Decide All Vital Matters and McCombs Will Be
 Merely Director in Chief.
 Wilson Is Hidden

Sea girt, N, J. July 14.-ndications at Seagirt tonight gathered from party leaders. with whom Governor Wilson has been in constant consultation re- gently. are that William F. McCombs of New York is his choice for chair man Of the democratic national com mittee William c. McAdoo of New ter Senator James A O'Gorman Of New York for vice chairman. and Joseph E. Davies, national committeeman from Wisconsin. for secretary
 These views have been gleaned from canvass of the governors closest DO litical friends. As to the contents Of the message which Robert $. Hudspeth Governor Wilson's spokesman Is con veyins to the national committee al Chicago for it's action tomorrow, Cover nor Wilson has divulged no word. or the contrary, he has consistently de- clined 10 speak for publication on tha subject. His objection he bases on the fact that he Is acting by courtesy of the national committee in placing his preferences before it. To say what the message would contain in any par ticular the governor asserted would be a distinct violation of that courtesy.
 Suggestions in Message
 Nevertheless. there is a unanimity 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 he fixed at New York, with a branch at Chicago and another in d western city unnamed In the message.
 That there will be no specific sugges- ton concerning the identity of treas urer of the committee or the finance committee except that Henry Morgen- thau a wealthy real estate operator of New York be given a place on the committee. Mir. Morgenthau contributed largely to the Wilson campaign fund for the ante e-nomination fight and the governors friends believe he will be given prominent place on the finance committee if the governors suggestion is followed
 That fhe campaign com jnitteeS con. sist of men who have stood by the gov ernor in his fight for the nomination and will include Robert $. Hudspeth national committeeman from New ter sey, probably as chairman Josephus Daniels, national committeeman from North Carolina, Joseph F.. Davies. na- tional committeeman from Wisconsin; Senators O'Gorman of New York and Gore of Oklahoma: Representative A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania, Will lard Saulsburg. national committeeman from Delaware: William G. McAdoo and William F. McCombs.
 To Choose One Texan
 There are three Texans upon one of whom. the governors friends assert representation on the campaign com- mittee may fall. They arc Representa- . tives Burleson and Henry and Judge Cat Sells There Is also possibility they say, that Senator Obadiah Gard ner of Maine may be given q place on the committee. It Is understood that there is no man In the list from far western state. This, the governors ad- visors say, Is due to the fact that the nominee wishes his campaign commit toe O be as close to the national head quarters as possible so that full meeting of members may be obtained If needed, with the least possible de- lay
 If is part of the governors plan in the opinion of his friends. to have the campaign committee decide all vital matters concerned with the cam paign and that the national chairman be guided by a majority vote of the campaign committee in which he will. of course, have q vote. MT. McCombs, they say. would thus be placed in d position where he could not act alone. but only on the advice of seasoned po- litical leaders
 Governor Wilson's S friends assert that his plans regarding MT McCombs are that he act as director In chief of the campaign on the advice of the cam paign committee and that he make his headquarters in New York.
 Campaign By States
 It is also the governors plan, accord ing to his counsellors, to request eaci national committeeman to direct, under McCombs the campaign in his own state
 In selecting the men whom he vii suggest as members of the campaign committee Governor Wilson has consid cred only those who can devote a con siderable portion of their time to thu work his friends assert.
