OLD LINE LEADERS IN
SEARCH OF CANDIDATE
Who CAN BEAT M'ADOl
They Admit He Seems To Haze
Inside Track on Nomination.
One Nomination to Come.

| in view of the persistent and insistent
demands from McAdoo that no nom-
mating speech be made he would ac-
cede to the request, but that ii might
be necessary to draft him for the SER
vice Of the nation"
Any rumors that McAdoo would
not serve if nominated, Jenkins told
the convention, could be dismissed a.
the work Of enemies.
Jenkins merely said: II nominate
William G. McAdoo,r and the pent-
Up enthusiasm Of the McAdoo forces
broke loose in loud and noisy dem
onstration.
A parade around the convention
floor started as soon as the short
speech was concluded and soon the
standards Of Washington, Delaware.
Louisiana, Alabama, Utah, New Mex
leo, Oregon, Wyoming, Maine, Ariz-
ona, Texas, Idaho, Michigan. Kansas.
Nevada, Hawaii, Wisconsin and South
Dakota were in the parade, in bowling
line.
| Spectators in the Missouri deleRa-
tions tried TO put their standard rii the
parade and the mUve developed in a
fist fight which the poSioe interfered
with. Bennett Clark, son of Champ
Clark, was among those who tried to
keep the banner out Of the procession.
In the mix up, the standard was tram
pied on the floor and torn in two, but
the McAdoo men rescued the letters
"ouri" and more them triumphantly
into the line Of the marchers.
The, end Of thirty-five minutes of
demonstration saw another attempt 20
get the states into position and for
little while man with a megaphone
got considerable harmony behind re-
petition Of I'VE Want McAdoo, we
want McAdoo."
Ii was not for long, however, for
the enthusiasts preferred to keep the
demonstration in their own hands and
to keep il going in their own diver
sified ways.
Forty-five minutes from the start
of the noise. Senator Robinson made
his first attempt for order. II was
apparent that the demonstration was
dying, but there still were many who
waited to keep it little longer and
they aiC 40 attention at all TO the
gavcl. Finally, getting order after
the demonstration had lasted forty
1--WE minutes, Senator Robinson order

Champ Clark who was denied the
nomination mt the Baltimore conven-
ton, after repeated majorities was
being discussed by the old liners as
the man to beat McAdoo. The Nc.
Adoo people answered that if his nomi-
nation was forestalled, Wilson dark
horse would be brought out.
Cummings name cropped out when
ever an administration dark horse was
being discussed. Vice President Mar
shal's name was generally linked
with that Of Clark.
The Cox and Palmer managers de-
manded 10 be shown that their candi-
daes were out OF the running. Both
deny their delegates viii jump, but the
report persisted there II. an under
standing between Cox and, Palmer
men that the managers favor the nom-
ination rather than McAdoo.
Opponents OF McAdoo claim four
hundred voters who will stand to the
bitter end to prevent his nomination.
The McAdoo supports claim to have
within fifty votes Of the necessary
two-thirds and declare that the
strength showing will bring others.
McAdoo opponents claim his vote
never would exceed four hundred and
