New York delegation, counted as
Cox citadel had been captured
| by McAdoo whose star is blaz-
ing brightly in the fog of rumor
and report. When they arose this
morning authoritative denial was
issued through the Tamany chief
tains.
What was true was that the
statements made on behalf Of
behalf of Gov. Cox by his manag-
ers, indicating a neutral attitude
toward the liquor issue, had caus-
ed the extremists in New York, |
Illinois, and Minnesota and other
states to become chilly toward his
candidacy pending inquiry. This
became pronounced when it wa
announced that Senator Atlee
POmerene, of Ohio, had been di-
'rected by his colleagues to vote
for this neutrality i'll the commit
tee on resolutions.
Advantage OF this condition was
taken by the managers Of other
candidates to make drive against
the Ohio man, and during this
to eXaggerate the |
actual situation.
Amid it the candidacy Of John |
w. Davis, Of West Virginia, Am |
bassador to England, was thrust |
into prominence. and all effort
made to go after the Ohio and
Mississippi Valley delegates, La
ter the furry subsided. but it re
mained manifest that the Ohio |
candidate had received a check.
Whether or not this check. i.
final remains to be demonstrated. !
There is doubt upon this point
One Of the members of the Cab |
met. who is for McAdoo, declar-
ed that Cox has lost but little
strength in the furry. Inter
views among the New York del
egates as individuals show that
Gov. Cox is still popular. The
matter is one Of leadership.
Similar conditions exist i'll Hi

Meanwhile, the McAdoo boom
ers. using familiar tactics that are
not always successful, as Hiram
W. Johnson will testify, are en-
dcavoring to vocalize victory
for their man. There is much
noise but the tally sheet does not
carry Z corresponding number OF
votes tor him.
, TWcnty-four hours ago through
/ a clever move, it was made to APP
pear that the former Secretary
had consented to run, but it was
soon ascertained that he had not
said SO himself, the statement be-
ing traced to Thomas Love, of
Texas, National Committeeman.
To-day there appeared in the
fhands of Jouett Shouse, of Kan
sas, a telegram from Daniel {.
Roper, former Collector of Inter
nal Revenue, who was chosen to
be McAdoo's manager, but who
left the field when his chieftain
announced his refusal to run.'
This said that ''in view Of the
storm Of protests about the with
| draWal, our friend says he can dc
no more and VIII abide by the de
cision of the convention" " In the
lafternoon papers, however ap-
lpeared a New York dispatch say
ing that this morning at his office
! McAdoo refused to be quoted.
Roper is in Washington.
The cold hard fact is that the
} McAdoo candidacy will have to
undergo the scrutiny of the dele
-lgates and his availability passed
upon. If the "son-in-law" and
Grown Prince" gibes carry
weight he will be rejected, but the
chances are that his friends will
know by the time balloting is be-
gnu whether OF not to permit him
: to remain before the convention.
