1t probably Is a slightly less conf
dent tone in the McAdoo camp. But
nothing would be further from the
truth than to deduce from that Cir
cumstance that McAdoo's friends are
disconsoIate. They continue to af-
firm that victory is all but within
their grasp.
The factor that seems to be dis
quieting the McAdoo managers 10
that certain delegates thoroughly
loyal to the candidacy are beginning
to experience choice views or to look
about for a suitable direction in
which to cast second choice votes.
That manifestly denotes that op-
timism concerning McAdoo's chance
Is not quite 100 per cent in the
estimation OF some Of his first line
supporters.
Claims and counter. claims by the
McAdoo phalanx and the anti-Mc-
Adoo coalition remain the order OF
the day.
George Brennan. the Illinois lead
er. alleges that a careful count dis
closes a maximum of 420 McAdoo
votes in the convention. That Is
sos less than the two-thirds neces-
sary to nominate. But there are
two weaknesses TO that claim.
seeond-Choice Sentiment.
First. II leaves out of account the
notorious prevalence Of McAdoo Sec
ond choice sentiment. Everywhere
in the convention hall McAdoo's peo-
pie assert there Is not a single State
delegation where there is not such
leavening. They describe il as a
yeast that will Hisibly swell the Nc
Adoo vote from ballot to ballot. In

which fills the McAdoo party with

They profess to be content TO

iical view.

Tammany as usual also holds a

That is why the confident prophecy
is heard that the New York braves

pledges are being demanded and
given that they. will stand pat
