Adoos announcement that he would
not allow his name 10 be presented
at the convention, and the statement
! OF Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Jouctt Shouse that the packers
of the McAdoo boom would swing
kzt SenAtOr
strengthened the opinion in political
eircles here that the President has let
his son-in-law know he wants the
nomination for himself
Coinc dently, there were indications
yesterday that McAdoo will be held in
reserve, to be brought forth in an
effort to stampede the convention II
the proposed Wilson coup falls to
sgo over"
McADOO STILL IN RACE
Senator Glass pointed out that Nc
Adoo did not eliminate himself. No
where in his telegram to Shouse, Sena-
tor Glass said, did McAdoo declare he
would not accept the nomination il 1t
Should be rendered to him.
Shouse stated he had received tele-
grams from a number of prominent
McAdoo supporters indicating doubt
as to how they should regard Nc
,Adoo's unexpected announcement
,Shouse replied to these inquiries:
"The McAdoo withdrawal is abso-
lutte, unequivocal and final"
Senator Glass reiterated his state
ment that he is not a candidate, and
declared he is for the nomination of
McAdoo "first. last, and all the time
He added that he expected to see Nc
Adoo get the nomination.
Asked if he didn't think the Nc
Adoo announcement was a positive
statement that he would not be
candidate, the Virginia Senator re-
piled: .
IT am familiar with his statement.
J notice that he nowhere says that he
will not accept the nomination II 1T
is rendered him. I am for McAdoo,
and expect to see him win the nomi-
nation"
SHOUSE TAKES OPPOSITE VIEW.
Assistant Secretary Shouse took just
the contrary view of the McAdoo pro-
nouncement. He was asked:
would McAdoo, if nominated,
run"
"I don't believe he would, even
then. I don't think McAdoo would ac-
cept the nomination"
This divergence Of opinion among
the leading McAdoo hackers serves to
leave the question. OF MS attitude
sufficiently in doubt to leave the way
open for his supporters TO spring his
name at an opportune moment, when
the convention has refused to be
swung in line by an attempted vii.
son coup.
While Shouse sought to deny that
Senator Glass was put forward as
stalking horse for President wilson.
he plainly indicste that 1t was not
believed the NirE inian could win. He
said
'If Senator Glass came from the
North there would Ne no doubt of his
nomination"
Another Administration leader, close
4" the White House. declared today
that McAdoo's telegram TO Shousc was
nothing more or less than bid for
n rally of his friends around him 10
force him TO accept. all OF which. in
this authority's opinion, is good poll
tics.
