To permit the same to be done with
out protest is to consent to being
made a candidate. Mr.. McAdoo made
his protest to DR.. Jenkins, but with
out changing the latter's determine
ton. Nevertheless, on account of the
close friendship between the Kansas
City editor and Mr.. McAdoo, it has
been asserted here that the former
Secretary of the Treasury could per-
suade jenkins if he really tried.
Hoover's Experience Cited.
So McAdoo is trying. And he has
sent so many appeals to friends here
that unqueStionably his wish will be
complied with. Another thing, sup
pose McAdoo doesn't win the nomina-
ton here Some of his friends be-
lieve that If his name is presented
formally along with the other candi-
dates. he will never be able to erase
the impression that he sought the
nomination. Mr.. Hoover's sad expe-
rience after he had insisted that he
was not a candidate is being mention
ed as a case in point. But back of it
all is the feeling that if this con-
vention wants McAdoo, it knows
where he stands and it knows that
he would accept If drafted. He said in
a telegram after the Georgia prima-
ries that no true democrat could re-
fuse the presidential nomination If
rendered to him.
The sting of the son-in-law argu-
ment is still felt. One of the local
newspapers greets the delegates daily
with headlines about the rise and fall

of the -oom for THE Crown Prince"
Some of the other newspapers insist
that the President is trying to get
the nomination for McAdoo.
Mr.. Wilson is literally keeping his
hands off, but, as has been demon
strated again and again in the ses-
sions held thus far, this is Wilson
convention-the delegates are by far
large supporters of the Wilson poll
cies. They are for Palmer and Nc
Adoo because each is a Wilson man.
If it were not for Palmer's record
against labor, he would win the nomi-
nation. Similarly because of McAdoo's s
record in favor of labor, he holds
commanding position here. His af-
firmative strength is not measurable.
The size of the veto block of votes,
said to be at least one-third, is also a
matter of conjecture. But McAdoo's
chances had receded slightly when
word came that he had again upset
the plans of his friends and asked
them not to present his name. 1t is
this constant refusal to take the
crown which seems to add fascination
to the McAdoo movement. The dele
gates appear to derive stimulus from

PAYS $18A TON FOR COAL.
Shipping Board in Open Market
Due to Freight Congestion.

Shortage of coal cars and freight
congestion has forced the Shipping
Board to go into the open market to
obtain coal for the government mer-
chant marine, it was said today at the
offices of the Shipping Eoard. Off
Gals said the result is that bunker
coal. which under contract could be
purchased for 81 a ton, is costing the
board as high as SIS a ton
Shipping Board officials in touch
with the situation freely admitted
that serious situation was devel-
oping in regard to bunker coal, al
though operation of the merchant fleet
has not yet been hampered by fuel
difficulties. Coal operators under con-
tract to deliver coal for bunkering
purposes have been unable to get their
shipments to the seaboard because of
the freight congestion and shortage
of cars.

SHORTAGE OF CARS

Railways Charged With Fail

Priority Order.

Despite the Interstate Commerce
Commissions order giving a thirty
day priority to open-top cars for the
bituminous coal mines. small improve
ment has been noticed in the situ-
alton, according to a statement is
sued by the National Coal Associa-
ton. Inquiry at the mines, it is
stated. after the order has been in
effect eight days. reveals a shortage
varying from 25 to so per cent in
coal cars.
Railways Blamed.
The association charges the rail-
ways with failure to cooperate fully
with the commission in carrying out
ITS orders. Many of the roads. it is
stated. are using the cars for the
transportation of automobiles and
other commodities. The failure to
provide cars also is due to labor
troubles among the railway switch
men, it is said
AS soon as enough cars are placed
at the mines, it is asserted, there will
be enough coal on its way to the
consumers to fill every need, averting
1uel famine next winter.
Discrimination EnjOined.
Judge Dayton, in the United States
circuit court at Phillip W. Va, yes
terday granted temporary injunc-
ton against the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company restraining it from
furnishing more coal cars to certain
mines than to others. The complaint
was brought by the Lambert Run
Coal Company. Rush c. Butler, gen.
eral counsel for the National Coal AS
sociation, filed the bill of complaint
According to John Pratt, an official
Of the National Coal Association, the
decree of Judge Dayton is regarded
as victory for operators who claim
they have been disseminated
against by the railroads in the fur
nishing of cars to transport their out

to keep DR.: Jenkins from making the
nominating speech. There are those
who have insisted that it affords a
splendid opportunity for oratorical
salesmanship, that the points in Nc
Adoo's record ought to be recalled
to the minds of delegates and that it
was the splendid marshaling of facts
and arguments by Gov. Willis in his
nominating speech which had so
much .tdo with the final selection of
Senator Harding at Chicago.
But. on the other hand. Mr.. McAdoo
is in an entirely different position.
He has insisted that he doesn't want
the nomination and has telegraphed
his friends here to desist In their ac-
tiyity for him. Some delegates have
taken all this with grain of salt,
for they have noticed persistence of
campaigning for McAdoo. But the
only formal thing which is done for
candidates in the convention itself is
the nominating and aeconding speeches.

Uneasiness Caused Among Balti-

BALTIMORE, June 30.-While both
the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore
and Ohio railroads are working more
men in their yards here, the scarcity
of coal and raw products is causing
uneasiness among manufacturers. The
Hess Steel Corporation laid off 20 per

of coal and A. E. Beck, transportation
