 Frisco Convention

Washington, June 1S.-Refusal o1 William G. McAdoo to allow his name Ito be presented to the democratic ma tional convention apparently did not come as very great surprise in in. ner administration circles.
 Some party leaders said Mir. Nc Adoo's elimination left the situa. tion more or less Gin flux". They had regarded him as one of the foremost candidates for the nomina- tion. While MT. McAdoo had insisted from the first that he was not can didate and that the delegates should is known that number were favor able to his candidacy.
 In fact, the McAdoo boom had reached such proportion that the sen- ate committee which investigated pre- convention campaign expenditures made repeated efforts to locate a na- tional organization behind it.
 Co-incident with MT. McAdoo's an- nouncement that he would not per- init his name to go before the con- vention, MT. Shouse issued state ment 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 committte at San Francisco.
 MT. Shouse declared that the move ment for the nomination of Senator Glass "has already reached formid- able proportions" and that "a num- Der of the most loyal McAdoo men' had declared that they "would exert themselves to the limit on behalf of Senator Glass;"
 Administration Man.
 MT. Glass was one of the adminis- tration leaders in the house of rep- resentatives until he resigned to be- come secretary of the treasury. While in the house he fathered the federal reserve and farm loan acts and since his appointment to the senate, he has supported the president in the treaty fight.
 It was Senator Glass who framed the Virginia democratic platform with the league of nations plank which President Wilson recently publicly and which is expected to form the basis for the league plank at San Francisco.
 The Virginia delegation has been to vote for Senator Glass at San Francisco.
 The elimination of MT. McAdoo narrows the field to eleven contes- tants so far as is now known. At General Palmer will enter the balloting with the Pennsylvania del egation instructed for him and prob ably with at least part of the dele gation from Georgia.
 Delegates from Ohio and Kentucky nave been instructed for Governor James M. Cox of Ohio, while those from New Jersey have been instructed for Governor Edward I. Edwards of New Jersey. Other instructed dele yations are Nebraska for Senator Gill bert M. Hitchcock of that state: Iowa for Secretary Meredith of the agri- culture department; Oklahoma for Senator Robert L. Owen of that state; South Dakota for James w. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany; North Carolina for Senator F. M. Simmons and Oregon for McAdoo.
 J. w. Davis of West Virginia, Ann oassador to Great Britain and Homer 5. Cummings of Connecticut, chair man of the democratic national con- mittee, whose names are expected to be presented to the convention, have no delegations instructed for them, and with the exception of the states named the delegations are uninstruct- ed,
