New York, Sept. I. - Friction exists
in the organization of the Democratic
campaign committee. Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo, the presidents
son-in-law, aided by the potent but
mysterious influence of Colonel House
of Texas, is known to be assuming di-
rection of all important campaign
work, and Chairman Vance c. McCor-
mick is being rapidly reduced to a
position where he has only to carry
out the directions of McAdoo and
House.
The statement is now made that Nc
Cormick was chosen chairman of thel
committee because of his known4
standing as a progressive in the hopel
that he would attract ProgressiveI
party support for the President.
The president and those about him, ;
it is declared. never intended that Me-
Cormck should be more than the
titular head of the national commit
tee, and that the real plans of the
campaign should be framed in WASH
