Rejuvenated McAdoo Boom
Assumes More Compact
Stage. Nomination Far
From Being Assured.
(By HAROLD JACOBs.)

San Francisco, June 20, Omitted
Press Tho rejlyenatcd McAdOO
boom has reached a stage where it
has passed the direction of volun-
tcer workers and has assumed
compact form under small group
OF seasoned politicians. The hastily
formed organization, which became
too unwicldly and huge to function
without experienced leadership will
be retained, but will be advised and
directed bY a small group of floor
leaders who have been chosen.
According to authoritative infor-
nation the growth of McAdoo senti-
ment apparently is causing the con-
vention to resolve itself into "the
field against McAdoo." Organiza-
tions of Cox and Palmer are now
fully aware Of the danger that con-
fronts them and they may be ex-
pectcd to put TIP bitter fight.
Aligned against McAdoo, too, will
be the faction led by Charles MUIR
phy, Tammany leader.s
McAdoo's nomination can be said
to be far from assured despite the
fact he is conceded to be the strong
est candidate in the field now. Cox
has a strong machine that has
weathcred several hard collisions of
the last few days, while Palmer will
have lead in the initial balloting
that will be extremely difficult to
cut down.
