McAdOO BOomed.

oan rranclsco, June 24.-DeSplte w. G. McAdoo's announcement that he would not be candidate for the democratic presidential nomination, his name recurs very frequently in gossip in national convention circles. The McAdoo boom appears to thrive against the frosty attitude of MT. McAdoo himself.
 On the surface McAdoo supporters have accepted his dictum and publicly transferred their allegiance to other candidates. There is something about their lactrity, however, that makes other democrats wonder whether they will stay out in ther new affiliations.
 Privately, some former McAdoo supporters admit they have not lost hope that he will be the nominee. The business of the convention is to nomi- nate 8 man who can be elected, they say.
 They regard the republican ticket and platform as encouraging from democratic point of view and believe that the brass tacks of politics will dictate McAdoo's nomination as the man who could be elected. They are shaping their present course, they ad- mitted, in anticipation of a deadlock between Attorney General Palmer, Governor Cox and the other prominent aspirants and a general swing to Nc Adoo at this point.
 Meanwhile, representatives of other candidates have been busy mapping their campaigns. They foresee dead lock and it was indicated today that some though was being given to the number of ballots supporters of par ticular candidates would be asked to stick by him and to whom their sup port would go after that time.
 Neighborly consideration, it is said, are apt to play a part in the course of delegates from Pennsylva- mia, Ohio and West Virginia, when the expected breakup comes. Each state has a candidate in the field, Palmer from Pennsylvania; Cox from Ohio, and John w. Davis from West Virgin ia. Should early balloting make it apparent that the necessary two thirds majority to nominate could not be obtained for Palmer or Cox, Davis supporters claimed today that he would inherit the Pennsylvania and Ohio delegations. They anticipated a general surge toward Davis under the impetus furnished by these powerful blocks of votes.
 Arrival of Senator Glass of Virgin ia added nothing today to the discus sions as to candidates.
 Supporters of Vice-President Mar shall for the nomination looked at the situation today much as did the Davis adherents. They thought Marshall would figure very prominently if a deadlock developed, and their plans are drawn with that in mind. The vice-president arrived tonight.
 The only presidential candidate on the ground today receiving delegates and visitors was Senator Owen of Ok lahoma. He did not discuss his chan ces, but was willing to talk about the platform. The party declaration should be short and should be. written in the simplest English and should emphasize the all embracing doctrine of popular government, he said, ad- ding that it should declare for the faithful execution of the eighteenth Iamendment
