BRYAN FACTOR IN OPPOSITION
LBy Associated prcss.1-

SAN FRANCISCO. June 20.-Secm-
ingly in agreement that William G
NcNdoo has the inside track on the
Democratic presidential nomination to-
night, attempts were being made
within the inner circles of old line
Democratic party leaders to prevent
his selection by the convention. The
plan includes prominent consideration
of Champ Clark. former Speaker OF
the House OF Representatives, as a
candidate
Bryan's acknowledged veto power
over any candidate through the oper-
alton of the rule which requires two
thirds of the delegates for n nomina-
tion madc his support TO the plan n
factor sought by It's managers Con-
fcrences among the old line leaders
were going on actively Immediately
after today's session of the convcn-
tion and made 1t plain in their pri-
vatc expressions that they were going
to any possible lengths to beat Nc
| Adoo.
, Clerk boomers In Action.
Those forwarding the plan were
using as one of their arguments for
Clark as the strongest man to put up
against McAdoo. that tho party
really owed nomlnation to tho for
mer speaker in payment for It's action
In baltimore when 1t deprived him
OF the prize after repeatedly having
given him n majority-somethin
which never had been done before in
tho history of the party.
Opponents to McAdoo went into
action without delay after the howl
Ing demonstration given him by the
convention today when presented
against his will, as his champions
said. and with the argument that he
should be drafted for the service of
the nation"
Prompt Action to Prevent Nomination.
The further statement to the con-
vention that McAdoo assuredly would
accept the nomination If 1t came to
him, provided further shock to the
old line party leaders. To each other
they professed imperative need for
prompt and forceful action IL his
nomination were TO be prevented.
The first concern of those opposed
to McAdoo was to hold the Palmer
and Cox lines long enough to find n
candidate to whom they could swing
| two-thirds vote before there were
any of the threatened defections to
McAdoo, which 1t was feared would
start him on a wave toward the nom
nation

any effort tonight to conceal his con-
cern ut the jump in the McAdoo boom
