FEAR WILSON INFLUENCE
Marshall Is "Moist" and Has Ideas
Different from Those Of His
Chief

Washington, May 9-On the heels
Of the news from Albany that the New
York state delegation to the San Fran
cisco convention will cast its second
vote for Thomas r. Marshall Of In
dana. now Tice,president, for the
Democratic Presidential nomination
there comes the information here to-
day that the Marshall boom is assum-
ing serious proportions,
Many influential Democratic leaders
who do not want to see the convention
m9de the plaything Of President VIII
son are railying to his support
By some politicians the new promi-
nence given to the Marshall movement
within the last few days is regarded
as the direct answer to the recent in
spired announcements that the Presi-
dent is preparing to keep in close
touch by telephone and telegraph
with the Democratic convention and
that he viii attempt to force the adop-
ton of platform indorsng the Wilson
policies and the nomination Of a can
didate who will make an issue Of the
League of Nations and all the Admin
istration's foreign policies above
everything else.
Vice-President Marshall is by no
means an anti-Wilson Democrat, He
has consistently supported the Presi-
dent, even to the extent Of indorsing
the League Of Nations But he has
not been one of the members Of the
inner circle of the Administration.
He has come to be regarded as an in
dependent thinker in party affairs.
With The delegates from Indiana and
New York as a nucleus there is every
reason to expect that Mr.. Marshall will
make a considerable splash at San
Francisco He is popular in Indiana
and the neighboring states OF Ohio,
Illinois, Kentucky and West Virginia,
anw may be expected to get scattering
delegates from these and other states.
In case oil the failure of William G.
McAdoo, Attorney General Palmer on
any of the other leaders in the race
to gel the necessary two-thirds vote
Tor the nomination, there is splen'
did chance for MIR. Marshall to become
the compromise choice Of all factions
of the party
