T. B. LYNCH DOOMED AS
SUCCESSOR TO M'COMBS.
Minnesota Man Looked Upon as Log
ical Person to Head Democratic
National Committee.

The White House yesterday gave out
correspondence between President Will
son and National Chairman William f.
McCombs, disclosing the Presidents con-
currence in Mr. McComb's decision not
to undertake the leadership of the next
Democratic campaign.
Frederick B. Lynch, of Minnesota,
chairman of the executive campaign COM
mittee of the Democratic National Com
mittee. is looked upon as the logical
successor to Chairman McCombs, pro-
vided he should be willing to undertake
the work. No decision will be reached
in the matter, however, until after the
national convention at st. Louis in June,
Mr.. McCombs will serve until the ad-
journment of the convention. The Sc
lection of his successor will be made per-
sonally by President Wilson.
Here is the Presidents letter to Mr..
McCombs:
My Dear McCombs: have your let
ter of the twentieth of April apprisins
me of your inability to retain the chair
manship of the Democratic national COM
mittee for the approaching campaign.
II fully appreciate the necessity you
feel yourself to be under to resign after
the convention shall have been held In
June; 1 know that you would not have
reached such a decision had not your
new business obligations made II unavoid-
able. I do not feel atliberty, therefore, to
urge you to make the sacrifice that a re-
tention of the Craftsmanship would in the
circumstances involve. You have made
many and great sacrifices already for the
party, and I know that am speaking
the sentiment OF the loyal Democrats
when express the very deep appreciation
have felt Of the great service you have
rendered"
