Combined Attacks of Rivals
Upset Well-Laid
Plans.
WITHDRAWAL HURTS
Opponents Claim Sufficient
Votes to Block His
Nomination.
by JAMES X. NoURsE.
(ataR Correspondent)

Auditorium. San Francisco, June
80. - There were several things
that happened today to throw a
scare into the supporters of william
Gibbs McAdoo and decrease his
chances of winning the Democratic
nomination.
First, there was a lining up of
the opponents of McAdoo and an an
nouncement from them that tkey
had corralled 400 votes which will
be used to block a two-thirds vote.
"Big None y" Hinted.
Second. there was a stateme Mt
from McAdoo himself, given out in
New York in which he approved of
the action of his supporters here in
deciding not to formally place him
in nomination. This statement was
g g1nerally taken to mean a with
drawal by McAdoo OF his name from
further consideration and a notice
by him that other Of his supporters
were disobeying his Instructions in
seeking to force the Office upon him.
Third. McAdoo was subjected to a
violent attack from opponents who
declared HIM to be the choice Of
the same big financial interests that
gave the Republican nomination to
Senator Harding. McAdoo's attack
ers cited the fact that Bernard NJ.
Baruch and Thomas l.. Chadbourne.
both leading figures in Wall Street,
were largely instrumental in bring
ing his name before the conven-
tion.
Directors Display wrnth.
An attack from another quarter
was made upon McAdoo by !oppon-
ents who cite his record as Direc-
tor General of Railroads. which
brought increased freight and pas
sanger flares and n public defcl
of more than S2,0OO,0O0.O 900.

demonstrations for other candidates
were going on and mapped out
plans for meeting the attacks. The
anger with which the McAdoo sup
porters viewed the situation was
typified by Robert woolley. Inter
state Commerce Commissioner. who
exclaimed in a burst of wrath:
They are telling lies about our
candidate. We have the Lomination.
They are trying to take IL away
rom us by spreading all sorts of
lieE. We are going to meet 1t some
how"
The McAd0o campaign, which
appeared yesterday to be running
along smoothly, thus was thrown
into n veritablo panic under the
force Of the attacks made upon it.
When McAdoo's leaders went to
sleep this morning they thought
they had the campaign in fairly
good shape; but when they reached
the Auditorium. they were con-
frouted with a situation that cont
plctely unnervcd them
They found that during the hours
nf the night. the Palmer. Cox, Ell
wards and Marshall Teople had COM
bined forces against them and had
succeeded in drawing together all
the various elements opposed -
McAdoo's candidacy until 1t was
said they could count on fully
enoush votes to keep McAdoo from
getting two-thirds.
Another development during the
night was the action of the Ken
lucky delegation. upon which the
AcAdoo- boomers had strongly
counted. The KCptuckians gave no.
tice that thay would not support
McAdoo. that their first choice was

| hibition issue and declared the Dem

declared that although the Eight

er has been passed upon by the peo-
| pie.
! We feel that the American people
thave been defrauded." O'Brien said

Once OBrien was hissed. but a

When O'Brien finished his speech

| by this time to cheer much heavier
and the noise was soon over.
| After two seconding speeches had

Pandemonium for Palmer.
Mitchell Palmer. Attorney Cen
eral, was named as a candidate by
John II. Bigelow, of Hazelton, Pa.
While Bigelow was speaking. the
! Palmer workers were laying the
ground for a big demonstration.
! Palmer flags were quietly distrib-
uted in the galleries and on the
floor. In the gallery was college
cheer leader at the head of a small
but noisy band of college boys.
While Bigelow spoke there came
a dramatic interruption.
Answer me a question:" shouted
a strong voiced man from the Mas
sachusetts delegation. Tell US of
his connection
That was as far as the speaker
got before an avalanche of protest
ing cries and jeers beat upon him.
He was Thomas INLAND. of Boston.

was yesterday when a delegate
ventured to complain against the
summary ejectment of Senator
Reed, OF Missouri, from the conven-
ton.
The uproar lasted several min
utes. During it a reporter made
his way to Niland's side and learn
cd that the Boston man wished to
make a query in regard TO an af-
fair involving sugar.
Bigelow concluded without max
ing reply to INLAND. The minute
ne stopped. pandemonium broke
! loose. II was the first high-pres-
sure demonstration OF the session.

Palmer campaign song.

II may well be questioned whether

that crown, while Garfield in plead
ing the cause of John Sherman

OratIons Have Small Part.
But 1 cannot recall an instance OF
convention being stampeded for
any nominee by an oration pro-
nounced in his behalf More reo-
pie will remember the joke by
which a speaker proved that Ar
kansas is mentioned in the Bible,
than will recall his list Of Owens

tion.
The Smith demonstration was by
far the best in point OF spontsneity
. and genuine enthusiasm that has
greeted nominating speech.
Fifteen Minute Ovation.
"Tsmmany," Sidewalks of New
| York" Sweet Rosie o'Grady" and
| other old time melodies were
ground out by the band while the
demonstration was under way.
AS previously stated. Smiths pop
| ularity spells two things. One, a
large measure to anti-McAdoo SEN
timent. The other a decided wet
tendency which has found express
sion in the New York governors
stand.
As practical forwarder OF
Smiths chance for the Preside initial
nomination, the show was taken
with a grain of salt by seasoned
politicians.
1T is probable, however. that
Smith will receive much more sup
! port than at first conceded him
He is the only candidate who. SO

issue. and the vets are anxious 10
do him honor.

the nomination of Gov. Smith. The
demonstration after Cockran's
speech lasted fifteen minutes.
