ON REORGANIZATION.
Cox Balks at Turning Control Of
I Party Over to Leaders Of
I McAdoo Faction
PLAN TO RETIRE WHITE
BY CLINTON w. GILBERT

washington. Dec. t0.-Plans for the
reorganization Of the Democratic party
nave been halted by a failure OF the Cox
saction and the McAdoo faction Of the
party to reach an agreement Governor
Cox personally turned down the pro
posal OF the McAdno leaders. The in
ermediary was Thomas Love. of Texas,
member OF the national committee
who supported McAdoo nt the national
convention in San Francisco, but who
souid approach Governor Cox with pc
culiar fitness because he accepted the
SECESSION Of the convention and became
IN active supporter of Cox after his
nomination.
The plan, worked out IN conference
between some of Cox's friends and Ber-
nard NJ. Batuch and other friends of
hcAdoo who had aided Cox in the cam
psign, was for National Chairman
George White TO retire In the near fu-
ture and for Thomas L. Chadbourne, a
wealthy New York lawyer, to take his
place. Mr.. Chadbourne has been iienti-
ned with the McAdoo wing of the party
and is close friend Of Mr.. Baruch,
who, it is understood was 10 have beeI
closely associated with Mr.. Chad
bourne in the work Of building up an
effective organization for the Democracy
along the lines pursued BY Will II.
HAYS In organizing the Republican
party.
This arrangement. had Il met with
Governor Cox's approval. would have
assured the financing OF the Democracy
for both Mr.. Chadbourne and Mr..
Baruch are men Of large means end both
of them have access TO plenty Of money.
The idea appealed to the men in the
party who face the existing deficit Of
$30O,0O0 and who had great difirulty
In raising funds during the national
campaign.
Cox Expects Reaction
But il would have meant d practical
surrender ot the nndonal organization
by Governor Cox TO Mr. McAdoO. Cox
is n fighter. Hc is young man and
loves power He does not think that
1920. bad as IL was for his party. hy
any means marks the end. He and his
friends expect big reaction 20 take
place within the next four years which
will make the next Democratic nomira-
don for the PRESIDENCY worth more than
was the nomination this year. At any
Ills party which he Won az San Fran
