the way, and when he reached the Penn
sylvania station he walked incopspicu-
ously to the lunch room, where he sat
perched on a high stool and obtained
over the counter q sandwich and a glass
OF buttermilk. He hurried away In
few minutes In a taxicab to a local club,
where he met William F.. McCombs,
chairman Of the national Democratic
committee. and conferred with him for
several hours.

MED reports Of friction, but admitted that

centered around the proposition as to who
should be named as the vice presidential
