BOOM MCCORMICK
AND GLASGOW AS
Committeeman
Democrats Want Harrisburg
Man to Succeed McCombs
as Chairman
PALMER LEADS BATTLE
By EDMUND C. TAYLOR


ST LOUIS. June 13.--Booms have been
launched to give powerful berths to two
Pennsylvanians in the Democratic National
Convention. -t
Vance c. Mccormick. of Harrisburg, who
was defeated for Governor of Pennsyl-
vania in 1914 by Martin O. Brumbaugh, is
being seriously considered as the successor
to William f. McCombs as chairman of
the Democratic National Committee.
William A. Glasgow. Jr.. of Philadelphia,
who has been unanimously agreed upon as
the member of the Rules Committee from
Pennsylvania, ls likely to be elected chair
man of that powerful body.
The campaigns to land the places for
both men are in the hands of A. Mitchell
Palmer, who declared today that McCor-
mick Stands good chance" as there is
every possibility that Edward Lynch, who
was slated for the chairmanshp of the
National Committee when McCombs an
nounced that he intended to retire, will be
elected chairman Of the Executive Com
mittee.
As soon as Palmer arrived in ST. Louis
he began rounding up votes for Mccormick.
Today he feels that he will be able to put
up a strong fight for Mccormick II the
committee decides not to appoint Lynch
national chairman Lynch is first choice,
of course.
sought by Palmer as recognition of the
work he has done for the Wilson or Re
organization Democrats in Pennsylvania.
Mccormick has planned campaigns and
gathered the campaign funds for several
years.
Glasgow, like Mccormick, is reor.
ganizer. He has been active in Demo-
cratic politics in Philadelphia and Pennsyl-
vania for a score of years.
The Pennsylvania delegates will formally
elect Palmer to the Resolutions Committe
and Glasgow to the Rules Committee at
their caucus in the Jefferson Hotel at IL
o'clock this morning.
The Philadelphia delegates to the con-
vention did not arrive with the rest of
the delegation yesterday and are expected
here this morning in time to attend the
caucus.
The Pennsylvania delegation has fur
nished the only music to the preconyention
activities. Their brass band is the only
one in evidence. and the members of the
Pennsylvania delegation have led half a
dozen parades since they arrived here. They
apparently like to march around, as yes
terday when they were paradng, and the
moving picture men arrived too late to
photograph them marching into the JEFF
ferson Hotel. they obligingly marched
around the block and back into the JEFF.
ferson again, headed by Palmer.
The New Jersey and Delaware delega-
tions also will caucus today. New Jersey
has already elected a chairman of the
delegation, but still has committee assign
ments to make. Delaware must elect a
chairman and committeeman as well.

GOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH
CALLSON REPUBLICANS
TO SUPPORT HUGHES
Executive Issues Appeal for
United Action in Behalf of
Presidential Candidate
of Party
PLEDGES AID TO LEADER

HARRISBURG, June 13. - Governor
Brumbaugh issued n statement TO the fe-
publicans of Pennsylvania today indorsing
Hughes for President and at the same time
forwarding letter to the presidential
nominee expressing his qualification over
the nomination and promising his support.
The statement says:
"The name of Justice Hughes ought to
appeal to every sincere Republican as an
admirable one. He was nominated in an
open convention after full and free discus
sion of all available candidates, and the
unanimous judgment of the convention
turned to him and made him.. as he declared,
against his own will the standard-bearer of
the party. His whole record and his state
ment Of principles alike are so noteworthy
that there can be no possible reason for a
third party or any division of sentiment
among protectionists and Republicans. He
should have the unanimous support of all
and triumphant election"
The Governors letter is as follows:
Harrisburg. Pa, June 10, 1916.
Hon. Charles h. Hughes, .-.
Washington, District of Columbia.
My Dear Mr., Hughes: 1t was with
feeling of profound relief and sats-
faction that the convention in Chicago
unanimously turned to you as the
standard-bearer of the party. ..- "'-
AS a. deleEate-at-large from Penn
sylvana I observed the free and full
development of the sentiment in your
behalf, and recognized from the outset
that the virtually unanimous feeling
of the convention was that your nom
ination would be, under all the clrcum-
stances, the wisest and best that coula
be made.
You are called by your party at a
great crisis in. the history of our ma
tion, and l know you will conduct the
campaign in 4 most credtable manner,
and l belie"S you will be triumphantly
elected.
l wish to assure you of my loyalty
and my Willingness to do all in my
power to secure your election.
With sincere good wishes. believe me,
Very truly yours,
NJ. G. BRUMBAUGH

By LOWELL MELLETT

ST. LOUIS. June 13.-DemoCratic Ma
tIonal Chairman William f. McCombs today
telegraphed cambridge Colby, Of New York,
an invitation to join the Democratic party.
His action was based on Colbys repudia-
tion of Roosevelt, for whom he made the
nominating speech in the Progressive Con-
vention at Chicago Saturday.
McComb's action was the most striking
development to date of the Democratic
leaders efforts to find n way to adopt the
100000 votes of the Progressive party
which they consider orphaned by Roosevet's s
decision not to be their candidate, as out
lined yesterday.
The telegram read
"BAINBRIDGE COLBY,

FOR A FAIR BRIDE
She Left MaIlad After Wedding
Him and Finding Out, and
Wouldn't Return.

Detroit.-Alla Mallad was in COM
plete disguise at the time OF his mar
riage to May Hassan.
His new little red wig didn't look
like q wig at all. It looked just like
his own hair.
His bride hadn't discovered the dis
guise when friends in Highland Park,
near this city, gathered to welcome
the couple to their new home. Il was
then that Mallad drew his bride to
him for the first kiss and il was then
that she discovered the disguise
Instead OF soul kiss or any other
kind of kiss. Mallad discovered him
self staring into the eyes OF many sur
prised friends. His bride had gone
home.
Il don't know what was the mat
ter with that woman" Mallad said
to Judge Mandell, while testifying for
a divorce. "She never kissed me and
never lived with me-"
1T does seem strange" said the
Judge smiling as he looked over the
