ton of william G. Mcadoo by the
democratic party for president. not
withstanding Mr.. McAdoo's deci-
sion not to permit his name to be
presented at the party national
convention.
Told that some supporters of
McAdOO were n w planning to ur.e
his nomination, senator Glass said:
~ still favor Mr. McAdOO's nom-

up to the stature of the kind Of

Washington. June IS (hy the AS
sociated Press The refusal of
William G. McAdoo to allow his
name to be presented to the demo-
cratic national convention appar-
emily did not come as a very great
surprise in inner administration
circles. To other democratic lead
ers in Washington, however, 1t
seemed to be wholly unexpected
and to his friends it came as a
keen disappointment.
Some party leaders tonight said
Mr., McAdoo's self-elimination left
the situation more or less sin flux."
They regarded the former. secre-
tary of the treasury as one of the
foremost candidates for the nomi-
nation. While Mr.. McAdoo had in
sisted from the first that he was
not a candidate and that the dele
gates should go to San Francisco
uninstructed. it is known that a
number of them were favorable to
his candidacy.
Boom Was Well Under Way.
In fact the McAdoo boom had
reached such proportions that the
senate committee which investi-
gated pre-convention expenses
made repeated efforts to locate
national organization behind 1t.
3. M. Baruch of New York and
number of others were questioned,
but they insisted that there was no
organization and that no funds on
behalf of Mr.. McAdoo had been
spent. DR.. Burris Jenkins of Kan
sas City, Mo, had planned to place
Mr.. McAdOo's name before the con-
Nention. He was invited to do so
at a meeting of McAdoo supporters
here last month which was at
tended by Jouett Shouse. assistant
secretary of the treasury: d. C.
Roper, former commissioner Of in
ternal revenue; Frank r. Wilson,
former director of Liberty Loan
publicity, and others.
Coincident with Mr.. McAdoo's
announcement that he would not
permit his name to go before the
convention. Mr.. Shouse issued a
statement saying that an active
fight would be waged for the
nomination of Senator Carter Glass
of Virginia, who has been looked
upon as the certain choice to head
the resolutions committee at San
Francisco.
McAdoo Men for Glass.
Mr.. Shouse declared that the
movement for the nomination of
Senator. Glass has already reach
ed formidable proportions and
that "a number of the most loyal
McAdoo men" had declared that
they would exert themselves to
the limit on behalf of Senator
Glass"
Mr.. Glass was one of the admin
istration leaders in the house OF
until he resigned to
become secretary of the treasury
when Mr.. McAdoo retired While in
the house he fathered the federal
reserve and farm loan acts and
since his appointment to the sem
ate by Governor Thomas S. Martin |
he has supported the president In |
the treaty fight
1t was Senator Glass who framed
the Virginia democratic platform |
with the league of nations plank |
which President Wilson recently |
publicly approved and which is ex-
pected to form the basis for the |
league plank at San Francisco.
The Virginia delegation has been
at San Francisco.
