WASHINGTON, June 1S-(By thei Associated Press)-The refusal of William G. McAdoo to allow his nams to be presented to the Democratic na-i tional convention apparently did not come as very great surprise in in- ner administration circles. To other Democratic leaders in Washington. however. it seemed to be wholly unex- pected and to his friends it came as a keen disappointment.
 Some party leaders said tonight Mr. MeAdoo's self elimination left the sit uation more or less in flux." They regarded the former secretary Of the treasury as one of the foremost can didates for the nomination While Mr. McAdoo had insisted from the first that he was not a candidate and that the delegates should go to San Francisco uninstructed, it is known that a num- Der of them were favorable to his can -r didacy.
 All McAdoo Plans Laid
 In fact. the McAdoo boom had reached such proportions that the senate committee, which investigated pre-convention expenditures, made re- peated efforts to locate national or ganization behind it. B. NJ. Baruch of NcW IOIk anu d lluDADtI Ol UlAltAS were questioned, but they insisted that there was no organization and no funds on behalf of MT. McAdOo had been spent. Dr. Burris Jenkins of Kansas City, Mo, had planned to place MT. McAdoo's name before the con vention. He was invited to do so at meeting of McAdoo supporters here last month wLich was attended by Jouett Shouse, assistant secretary of the treasury, D. C. Roper, former com r,.fer r.1 R. Wilson, former director of Liberty loan publicity and others.
 CoiDcident with Mir. McAdoo's an- nouncement that he would not permit his name to go before the convention, Mir. Shouse issued a statement say ing 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.
 MT. Shouse declared that the movement for the nomination of Sen ator Glass has already reached for midable proportions. and that "a number of the most loyal McAdoo men" had declared that they would exert themselves to the limit on be- half of Senator Glass"
 Mir. Glass was one of the adminstra- tion leaders in the house of represem- tatives until he resigned to become
 
 Adoo retired. While in the house, he fathered the federal reserve and the farm loan acts and since his appoint ment to the senate by Governor Thomas $. Martin, he has supported the presi- dent in the treaty fight.
 Glass Framed Virginia Platform
 It was Senator Glass who framed the Virginia Democratic platform with the league Of nations plank which President Wilson recently publicly aD- proved and which is expected to form the basis for the league plank at San Francisco
 The Virginia delegation has been in structed to vote for Senator Glass ati San Francisco.
 The elimination of Mir McAdoo mar , rows the field to II contestants so far as is now known. Attorney General Palmer will enter the balloting with the Pennsylvania delegation instructed} for him and probably with at least a part of the delegation from Georgia. in which state he received a plurality of the primary votes.
 Delegates from Ohio and Kentucky have been instructed for Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio, while those from New Jersey have been instructed for GOVsf Edward I. Edwards of New Jerseya Other instructed delegates are: Ne braska for Senator C. M. Hitchcock of that state; Iowa for Secretary Mere dith of the department of agriculture; Oklahoma for Senator Robert l.. owen of that state: South Dakota for James w Gerard, former ambassador 10 Ger many: North Carolina for Senator l'. NJ simmons. and Oregon for McAdoo-
 J. w. Davis of West Virginia, am bassador to Great Britain. and Homer S. Cummings of Connecticut. chairman Of the Democratic national committee, whose names are also expected to be presented to the convention. have no delegations instructed for them and with the exception of states named the delegations are uninstruCted.
 Representative Flood, of Nirginia's four delegates at-large to San Fran cisco, in d statement said
 Glass Still FaVors McAdoo
 .tMr. McAdoo'S withdrawal adds greatly to the strength of Senator Glass and the Virginia delegation will push MT Glass chances earnestly and enthusiastically in q great hope Of sue cess"
 Senator Glass Of Virginia, in a state ment to the Associated Press tonight declared he still favored the nomina- ton of William G. McAdoo by the Democratic party for president not withstanding MT. MCAdOo.s decision not to permit his name to be presented at the party's national convention. Told that some supporters Of Alr McAdoo were now planning to urge his nomination. Senator Glass said:
 T still favor Mir. McAdoos nomina- ton. Even if I could measure up to the stature of the kind or man whom the convention should really nominate. I live iu a section that I- relied upon 10 furnish the electoral votes but not 10 f candidate
