cox AND MARSHALL
NOW LEADING FIELD
Former Gains As MCAdoo De-
cIineS to Run-latter Looms
As Dark Horse.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2O.-Every-
body should keep an eye on Jimmy"
Cox, the little fighting governor OF
Ohio. And the other should be allow
ed to rest on Thomas Riley Marshall,
the distinguished Hoosier statesman
now serving his second term as Vice
President of the United States.
Cox is leading the field of all the
announced candidates as the most
available and the most likely dark
horse" If it should become necessary
to enter that stable to pick the nomi-
nee.
Cox became a formidable factor in
the race as a result of the fiat re-
fusal of william Gibbs McAdoo to
permit his name to go before the con-
vention. Heretofore he had been re-
garded as a possible candidate for
second place with McAdoo at the head
OF the ticket.
McAdoo's announcement, however.
served to boost Cox into first place
and to make him the most talked of
man for the nomination.
Vice President Marshall has many
friends among the Indiana, New
York, and Illinois delegates who have
been carrying on quiet boom for
him.
Mitchell Palmer boomers are very
busy and have opened headquarters
for him at the st. Francis Hotel. They
claim he will receive the largest vote
on the first ballot.

Speciol D;sDotch tn The Tribune


BOSTON, March 1.-THE possibility
of an organization to rival the Boston
Symphony Orchestra appeared to-day
in the statement of Arthur Berenson,
attorney for the discharged musicians,
TO the effect that wealthy music
patrons had come forward with prof
fers of financial support.
In this connection it was said that
one individual whose name is secret
has offered $4,000 at once for fnanc-
ing series of rival pop" concerts or
for aiding the union players in their
fight.
1t is announced to-day that the thir-
tyfve former symphony artists are
busily engaged in preparing a concert
tour to include the principal cities of
New England, and possibly New York
and elsewhere. On this tour Frederic
Fradkin, the noted concert master, who
has been a storm center in the contro-
versy since he took sides with the men
in their demand for more money, will
appear as conductor.

Such an Increase would put some rail-
ways far above the safety line--in
which case the government would re-
cover half the surplus-but would still
leave others below the point where
they could pay fair dividends.
Which these would be are beyond
calculation till the readjustment Of
traffic has taken place, but the figures
for 1919 show which were then weak
est--which start the new era under
greatest handicaps.
Taking the 165 most important roads,
there were only thirtv-four which in
the first eleven months of 1919 earned
enough to meet the STANDARD return"
The figures are compiled by the Bureau
OF Railway Economics. and do not in
clude December. which was one of the
worst months of the year. There were
iol roads which did not pay a normal
that is, the "test period"-profit.
Conditions were worse in the Eastern
district. OF the sixty-flve roads there,
only thirteen paid and fifty-two fell
short. The most profitable was the
Michigan Central, which went $685.
800 above it's standard return; next was
the Big Four, with $3.437 900 excess;
then the Pere Marquette and the New
York. Chicago & st. Louis. None of
the others which exceeded the stand
ara 1oucned the $1,UOU.0O0 mark, and
all are unimportant lines.
The Pennsylvania was worst off, be-
ing short $43 3,625 795; the Baltimore &
Ohio was $20,547,214 below standard;
the Erie, s13,729.213; the Reading, s11,-

and $10.000,000 were the Lehigh, the
Monongahela, the New Haven. the Jer-

roads which fell more than $1,000, 900
