 Angus W. Mclean of North Caro- lima, a director of the war finance corporation, was examined. He de- nied that he was "a sort of southern manager for MT. McAdoo's cam paign."
 He finally recounted a conversation with MT. McAdoo as to the North Carolina delegation.
 ''I told MT. McAdoo there was an overwhel elming sentiment in my state for him." he said. 1'I told him we were having primary down there and that his name would go in whether he liked it or not, but that we would be in an absurd situation if we were voting for man who would not take the nominati ton.
 'tHe said he was not a candidate, wouldn't turn his hand over to get the nomination and didn't want. his friends to take any action about it. He did, however, say that if the nom- ination was rendered him he could not decline.
 "Wc all thought something should pe uone to snow MT McAdoO'S S avail ability the witness continued, 'Nbut I don't consider I've done any work for him.
 'Do you know anything about plans to use the liberty loan publicity campaign organization for McAdoo ?'' asked Chairman Kenyon.
