 SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-Despite W. G. McAdoo's announcement that he would not be a candidate for the Dem ocratic presidential nomination, his name recurs very frequently in gossip in national convention circles. The McAdoo boom, for the roots and war chests of which the senate campaign Investigating committee sought in yain, appears to thrive even against the frosty attitude of Mir. McAdoo himself. Its chief characteristic continues to be the same intangible quality that daunted the senatorial investigators. On the surface, McAdoo supporters have accepted his dictum and publicly transferred their allegiance to other candidates. There is something about their alacrity, however, that makes other Democrats here wonder whether they will stay put" in their new af- filiations
 Privately some of these former Me Adoo supporters admit they have not lost hope that he will be the nominee. They state their case bluntly. The business of the convention is to nomi- nate a man who can be elected, they say. They regard the Republican ticket and platform as encouraging from a Democratic point of view and believe that the brass tacks of politics will dictate McAdoo's nomination as the man who could be elected They are shaping their present course, they ad mitted, in anticipation of a deadlock between Attorney General Palmer. Governor Cox and the other prominent aspirants and q general swing to Me- Adoo at that point which would re- suit ill his nomination.

Supporters of Vice President Mar shall for the nomination looked at the situation today much as did the Davis adherents. They thought Marshall would figure very prominently If a deadlock developed, as expected, and their plans were drawn with that ir mind. The vice president arrived to- night.
