 McAdoo leaders claimed to have within so votes of the necessary two thirds which they declared would stimulate a band-wagon movement.
 The opposition to McAdoo claimed his vote never would exceed 450. They conceded to Palmer goa votes which they predicted would stick with tho Pennsylvanian throughout the oppo- sition to McAdoo. New York was counted on to cast Ta of her 90 votes against McAdoo from the beginning to end. With votes from New Jersey. Indiana. New England and some others. the McAdoo opposition counts mp about 4T5 against the former sec retary. exclusive Of the votes in the Cox block. It requires 72S to nom- inatr.
 Bryan's help is being counted on in the movement agaif'st McAdoo but up until today so far as could be learned his only answer 10 overtures has been that he must for the present concen- trate all his energy on the platform fight
