Wilson Reply to Greeting
Of Democrats Awaited

From The Tribuncs Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 80. - What
form President Wilson'S reply to the
message of greeting sent him by the
Democratic National Convention will
take was enshrouded in mystery to- day
at the White House.
Secretary Tumulty spent brief
time with the President this morning
and it is believed that he read to his
chief the greetings from the conven-
tion. When he returned to the execu-
tive Offices, however, Tumulty declined
TO make any comment on the action of
the convention except to remark that
the President was greatly pleased
with the conventions message"
Undoubtedly the President will make
some reply, but, following the policy
Of the White House TO withhold the
Presidents pronouncements until they
reach the persons addressed, it is not
believed that any hint of the contents
Of the message will be made public be-
fore it is actually presented to the
convention.
The White House has, however,
taken pains TO deny all reports that
the President will be in telephone
touch with the convention and it la be-
lieved that whatever message the Chief
Executive sees fit 10 send to San Fran
cisco will not be by word Of mouth, but
will be tclegraphic communication

chairman.

From STAFF CORRESPONDENT

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-Judge
Edmund H. Moore, of Youngstown, cam
paign manager for Governor Cox, spent
two hours early this morning with
Charles F. Murphy, Norman f. Mack
State Chairman w. w. Farley, Thomas
F. Smith, Surrogate James A. Foley
and one or two others at the Mack
headquarters, in the Palace Hotel,
pleading that New York support Cover
nor Cox for President.
The New York leaders gave Judge
Moore scant satisfaction, but did not
definitely turn him down.
The Tammany leaders are afraid of
the Wilson machine. The convention
ninety-odd votes in the Empire State
delegation, but long ago it learned to
distrust Tammany. The Southerners and
Westerners remember that Cleveland
was elected twice without much help
from Tammany Hall and that Tammany
openly opposed him in vain. They also
recall that Tammany supported Wilson
grudgingly. Again, Wilson was elected
four years age without New York. Over
and over again the Wilson men have
said that support of Tammany Hall is
Handlcap raIher than an asset.
Position Is Isolated

Bryan unmindful of the welfare, pres

organization finds itself half isolated
with prospect that its maroonment
will be complete by the time the con-
vention adjourns.
The Tammany leaders are thinking
things over very soberly. The rank
and file have no liking for President
Wilson or for William G. McAdoo, but
it is Tammany's code to guard it's pat
ronage when possible, and that is Chief
Murphy's solicitude just now. 1t is
this underlying desire either to pick a
winner or to refrain from picking a
loser that kept the Tammany boss silent
when Judge Moore solicited support
for the Ohio Governor
The main reason for Tammanys
coldness toward the Cox boom has been
stated in The Tribune. 1t is that the
Ohio candidate, after starting in the
race apparently an avowed wet, switched
as soon as he found that The vets
could not control the convention, and

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20. - The
Wilson controlled steam roller of the
Democratic National Convention this
morning flattened out the Tammany
controlled state organization before the
rules committee, brushing aside Tam
many's demand that the unit rule be
recognized for the State of New York.
BY vote of "a to II the rules COM
mittee decided that the unit rule
should not obtain, and that the ten or
a dozen anti-Tammany delegates in the
national convention are not bound to
for the nomination for President unless
they so desire.
The decision was a clean-cut victory
for former Judge Samuel Seabury, AS
sistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Mayor George R.
Lunn of Schenectady. who from the
start have protested against being
dominated by Chief Murphy.
incidentally, Representative John
j. Fitzgerald, speaking for the Demo-
cratic state organization, said that
Governor Smith, if not nominated for
President, would be renominated for
Governor. This is the first official
declaration from the state organizes
ton corning plans of Tammany for
the fall campaign.

The plan of attack against Tammany
was engineered by former Judge Sam

who chose the rules committee rather
than the open convention as the best
avenue. Judge Seabury scored what
seems to have been Il complete victory.
Judge Seabury asked that the chair

states as have by mandatory statute
provided for the nomination and cleo
tion of delegates and alternates to
national conventions in Congressional
districts and have not subjected dele

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-The
name of William Gibbs McAdoo, for
mer Secretary of the Treasury, will
be placed formally in nomination at
the convention Eat the earliest oppor-
tunty," his supporters decided at an
early morning conference to-day. Pres
entation of Mr. McAdoos name will
be by the Rev. Burrs A. Jenkins, a
Kansas City minister.
In confirming the persistent rumors
that McAdoo's name would go before
the convention, Samuel B. Amidon,
Kansas National Committeeman and
floor leader for the McAdoo forces
declared the former Secretary's friends
had decided to yield to the thousands
upon thousands of letters, telegrams
and personal calls urging the nomina-
tion'
There was no way to avoid votes
being cast for McAdoo, he said, and
therefore it was decided that "the
strength might as we'll be bunched"
Word Passed Along
Confirmation of the report of the
decision to nominate McAdoo came just
ahead of the opening of the second
days session of the convention. Nc
Adoo workers Immediately began
passing the word along" to those they
knew were in accord with the plan.
The effect of the announcement, how
ever, has not yet had time to develop,
but 1T was apparent that every effort
was to be bent in the direction of ad-
vislng individual delegates of the pro-
gram and ascertalnlng the strength of
the vote before the balloting time
comes
No claims are being advanced by the
McAdoo supporters as to the number
of votes on the first or subsequent
ballots. Reports made by men of diff
ferent state delegations, however
claim anywhere from $50 to $50
These figures represent the minimum
and maximum reports. "Second choice
votes in sight are said to number more
than 500.
Palmer to Lead Early
Mr.. McAdoo's friends say he may
run third in the balloting on earlv
votes. They expect Palmer to lead be-
cause he has tremendous "compl-
mentary" vote that will be cast for
him on the first ballot. Cox may run
second, they said, and after that the
break will be towards McAdoo.
William G.. McAdoo at his summer
home at Huntington, l.. l., would make
no statement last night regarding the
announcement from the convention
that it had definitely decided to place
his name in nomination for President
at the first opportunity
Mr. McAdoo refused to see news
paper men. He plans to be in his
office in New York to-day.
