McAdoo Injected Into Primaries
as President Shifts in
Political Policy
SEEKS TO SAVE TE
Ey CLINTON W. GILBERT
stan Correspondent Of the Evening Pub
Ledger


Washington. March i.--Tho admins.
tration has found it necessary to use
Secretary McAdoo's name in the Texas
primaries to head off the opposition
movement thcrc led by ex-senator
Bailey. without Mr.. McAdoo's name
Postmaster General Burleson was in
danger of losing control Of his own
state and the likelihood of an anti
administration Texas delegation to tn"
Democratic nutional convention was
great.
1t is this situation. the Georgia sit
untion. and the possibility that in pri
mar.cs from which Mr.. McAdoo's name
was left out Mr.. Hove: might gain
such strength ~ to force the admins
trations hand at San Francisco. which
caused the President to change his mind.
instead Of insisting upon the plan of
uninstructcd delegates. which was the
intention at the time Mr.. McAd0o wrote
his letter telling the Georgia Democrats
that he would not seek the nomination
and the announcement of Attorney Gen
cral Palmer's candidacy in Georgia.
Tho Georgia situation was this:
Although Mr.. Hoover had declined
TO tell the Georgia Democrats that he
was Democrat and although for this
reason his name il not going on the
Georgia ballot his friends were prepar-
ing to vote for him with pastors.
Enemies Had Two Candidates
At the same time the administration
foe. ex. Senator Hardwick, was pre-
pairing to bring out Senator Reeds name
as a candidate in Georgia. Thus the
politicians who are friendly to the ad-
min!strntion in Georgia had no Caudi
date while their enemies had two cen
didates. representing different politica
groups in Georgia.
The administration friends in Geor.
gia needed Il candidate in order to in
sure their control of the machine. Thus
Palmcr's name was entered there apC
the embargo on candidates. in the pri'
maries was lifted. 1t is believed thai
McAdoo's name will 90 before the Gcor
gia voter. his letter not having positive.
" withdrawn Il.
1t is not understood that the ud
ministration is committed to tho NJ
/ Adoo candidacy. But the use Of hi
name TO hold statrs for the admins
tration involves Mr.. Wilson to som
extent. and il is not at all certain tha
one reason for his entrance in the rae
will be n desire TO keep the Hoover can
/ didacy within bounds.
Machine" Opposes Hoover
The Democratic party docs not wan
the Hoover candidacy to assume for
midable proportions before the conven
ton IL assembled Tho organization i
strongly against Hoover, Most of tn
men who surround MIR. Wilson ar
against him. Mr.. Wilson has not give,
a sigu. But there is little reason T.
doubt that the entrance Of Mr.. McAdo
in the race, whatever it may be in in
tent. is hostile to Hoover in effect.
The factor that is operating mos
strongly against Hoover Is beer. Sine
the development OF the reaction agains
prohibition the Democrats are beginning
to say hopefully. I'VE hay not hav
TO nominate Hoover.
Moreover. Mr.. McAdoo probably i

AGED MANBURNED
TO DEATH IN BLAZE
Women Escape in Nightclothes
When Flames Sweep Ham
monton, N. j., Home
HEAT FOILS MEN IN RESCUE

An aged man was burned to death
in his bed and three women escaped IN
their nightclothes when fire swept the
home Of Mrs. Josephine Small In Ham
monton, n. j., at . o'clock this morn
ing.
Andrew Macfarland, eighty -iive years
old, and an invalid. was the victim. His
body, terribly burned. was found In his
bed on the third floor after the flames
had been subdued.
Several times, Henry M. Phillips, fire
chief Of Hammonton. and three vol.
unteers from the ranks OF his firemen.
attempted to force their way through
the sitting heat and dense smoke which
filed the stairway leading TO the third
floor.
They poured chemicals aud water
before them in an effort to knock the
flames down, and reach the aged IN +.
valid's bed. but the flames had gained
too great hcadwey.
The fire was discovered at o'clock
by Mrs. Small. who was awakened
from her bed on the second floor by the
loud crackle Of flames. and the choking
smoke.
She rushed down the stairs in her
bare feet and night. clothes and aroused
the household Of j. Il. Small, who live
next door, and owned the burning build
ing.
Mr.. Small gave the alarm by telc.
phone aud hurried to the burning
house. Thomas b. Delkcr, neigh 4.
Dor. had arrived. and the two men
rushed into the building and aroused two
retired school teachers. still asleep on
the first floor.
They were Mrs. Amanda Wilson and
Mrs. Margaret Sooy.
BY the time tircmcn arrived flames
were belchinc from the third story
windows. and all efforts to reach Mr..
MacFarlsnd were futile.
After half an hour the fire wns
brought under control by Hammonton =
two volunteer companies. Firemen
hurried into the ruins of the third
floor and found the charred body of
Mr.. Wilson lying on the bed.
The aged man, who was known as
the patriarch Of Hammonton, was in
the habit Of leaving an oil lamp burn
in his room all night. II is believed
this exploded while he slept.
The loss to the building was $1,000.
While the firemeu were fighting the
flames robber entered the home Of
John Prasch, one Of the firefghtcrs.
and escaped with his vest, containing
gold watch.

Thought OF Barber Shop

But when they read in the nnlirr dis

tive Harry Taggnrt. who had taken n
personal interest in tho recovery of tho
rare old musical instrument, and who
has been largely responsible for its sue
cessful outcome, and saw picture Of
the missing Viola d Amour, they at once
thought Of tho unusuol performance in
the Federal street barber shop. Last
night Acting Lieutenant Milburn and
the detectives went back to Combs q
shop and asked for tho "violin" the old
man had been playing. Combs turned
10 over to the policeman and explained
that he had bought it for 81 from a
negro named William Howard. They
took the instrument and set out to look
up Howard. who was found at TO7
South Twelfth street. and arrested him
Howard was held in $500 bail for a
further hearing on Saturday morning.
He explained his connection with rho
unusual instrument by saying that it
came into his hands from some "dopc
fiend" But he was not clear enough
about his connection with the trans.
action to convince the police he had not
stolen the instrument himself.
