Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press

New York, June 27.-Developments of the week in the securities market were chiefly of negative character The volume of business, both as to stocks and bonds. fell to the smallest total so far this year.
 This extreme dullness was primarily due to further restriction of credits, en- forced and voluntary reduction of activi- ty in various lines of industry and a general disposition on the part of finan- cial interests to slow down with the ap- proach of the mid-year.
 July interest and dividend dsburse- ments are estimated at $3Oo,o0o,00 Con trary to time honored customs there were virtually no surface indications that any considerable part of this vast sum had been anticipated" by investors.
 In the bond market almost the only is- sues to show strength and concurrent activity were those of foreign origin, notably Anglo-French fives.
 It is now definitely known that very large part of the s500,000 600 floated here has already been bought in by the bor- rowers.
 Foreign exchange, ordinarily a barom- eter of international gold transfers, failed to confirm forecasts of another heavy inflow of the metal. Several small con signments were received and others are said to be imminent, but as yet there are no signs that the movement is likely to assume impressive proportions
 Bankers continued to discourage new capital underwritings, especially in the less essential industries It is believed however, that a more liberal attitude will be shown towards the transportation companies after the railroad labor board submits it's wage schedule.
 While opinion in conservative quarters inclnes to easement of monetary con- ditions within the next few weeks, there is little reason to expect any relaxation of industrial and commercial discounts until crops have been garnered and brought to market.

Cox Diuorce Story Causes
 Sensation Ln San Francisco

Mrs. Cox the publicat ton continues, mar ried her lawyer soon after, while Gov- ernor Cox married hl- present wife and has one child. Two children by the first marriage remained with Governor Cox, while the youngest child remained with the mother.

TURKISH CAPITAL
 FEELING EFFECTS
 OF GREEK ADVANCE
Incensed by Smyrna Fight. ing, Turks Burning Greek Villages and Shooting
 Greeks
By Associated Pross

Constantinople, June 27.-Constantinople is beginning to feel the effects of the Greek advance. The Greek steamer Va cinthus has arrived here, having on board sixty nationalist officers captured June 23, and Greek refugees are arriving iron. kilia and other Black Sea ports and the interior villages of the peninsula between lsmid and Constantinople. They report that the Turks, incensed by the Ismid and smyrna fighting. are burning Greek villages and shooting down the Greeks.
 According to the refugees this is but a forerunner of a general Moslem attack upon the Greeks, which is expected when the news is generally circulated through Anatolia of the Greek advance, and the Turkish casualties.
 The nationalists of Trebizond province have begun the deportation of Greeks

belief that McAdoo is the man who can win. For example. Fred Lynch, the Minnesota boss. is strongly anti-Mc- Adoo, but the delegates have arrived ready to give McAdoo half dozen votes on the first brflot and a good majority of the delegation later. In Wisconsin there is spontaneous movement to McAdoo. who will get substantially all that delegation on an early ballot. Michigan is instructea for Hoover and its leaders are really for Palmer but half the Michigan dele gates will vote for McAdoo before many ballots. Kentucky usually goes With Ohio, but, authough the neighbor- ing state has one of the two really strong candidates for the presidency 2 part or the Kentucky delegation pre- iers MT. McAdoo to Governor Cox.
 STAMPEDE ON
 There is sort of McAdoo stamnede On which is not waiting for the conyen- ton to open in order to get itself started The delegates believe they can win with McAdoo, they do not believe they can With Palmer or Cox or any one else mem toned. They want the labor vote which they believe McAdoo can bring to the democratic party. and they have listened 10 the conductors, brakemen and firemen or the railroads on which they have - py their arguments for the former rail- way administrator
 The programme of the McAdoo voIun- teers, who now include practical poli- tieians like Arthur Mullen of Nebraska ahd Senator Simmons of North Carolina is not to put the McAdoo name in nomi- nation but just to vote for him. Thus they Will obey the. letter of the ex-Secretary's statement declining to have his name nraGantn6 tn MT. McAdoo is to be a candidate in spite Of himself. a candidate whose name will Tot go before the delegates and a can d1date without an agent or a spokesman at this convention.
 And the McAdoo volunteers are going to be discreet about casting their votes Tor their candidates. They will reveal his strength, gradually. They will culti- vate as few antagonisms as possible and avoid making the running. The vote of McAdoo, according to their plans, will be less than 200 on the first ballot They will eliminate Palmer and Cox in the early balloting if they can
 The candidacy of a reluctant man, without spokesman at the convention, who is more overburdened with the charge of setting up a dynasty as the Presidents son-in-law, would obviously not succeed if it were not for the weak ness of his rivals but Palmer is impos- sible and the convention having looked Cox over, has apparently said no to his aspira tions
 BOSSES FORGOT WOMEN
 The bosses who pinned their hopes upon Cox apparently forgot the woman voter. And one hears more of her here than at Chicago. The democrats would like to be wet. or at least moist and they would like to nominate Cox, but they are afraid of the women voters in the dry states

M 'ADOO'S STRENGTH

Candidacy Declared by Gil- bert to Be Most Vital One Now Before the
 Convention
By CLINTON ". GILBERT

San Francisco. June 27.-(Special)- McAdoo is stronger among the dele gates than among the leaders The state bosses who counted upon block ing him are not sure of their dele. gates. His candidacy is the most vital one before the convention and San Francisco is witnessing an extraor- dinary political spectacle. a spontane- ous movement for a man who has de- clined to have his name put in nomina- tion. It is movement in the dark. No one here speaks for McAdoo. Those who organized the McAdoo forces Sum day night and adopted plans for his nomination are like people living upon a volcano. They don't know when the McAdoo candidacy may blow up They don't know but what MT. McAdoo may issue another statement further dis couraging his nomination.
 If they had their way. they would hold San Francisco incommunicado until after the convention adjourns Failing this. they Lombard their candi- date with telegrams. begging him not o issue any more statements until after the nomination is made.
 A CURIOUS MOVEMENT
 It is a curious movement, the Me- Adoo movement. Usually to be nomi- hated candidate has to have some one present who can make promises for him when the critical momen. comes and a sta te's vote is to be got by reaching an understanding with it's leader. There is no one here to make promises for MT. McAdoo. The men who have volunteered to manage his boom can't even promise that he will accept the nomination. if it is offered to him. All they can do is to point to the general proposition that no one will refuse nomination once it is made.

They were good-natured little fel-

One morning Mr.. Fox had his grape
wine all made and poured into bottles,

He took a good, long, deep drink,
and then he dropped the bottle and

Just Folks

LoNeED.FoR Jov.

I do not envy millionaires
The many things that they can do,
Though endless bank accounts are
theirs.
And mine last week overdrew.
I do not sit around and sigh
And wall In sorrows gloomy way
That they have things cannot buy
I don't want all their Joys today.
I would not look on life as grim
Because own no gilt-edged stocks,
But confess, I envy him
Who buys his golf balls by the box.
I would not be q millionaire
To deck myself with diamond rings
And have expensive clothes to wear
And luxuries that money brings.
I'm satisfied to plod along
And count the cost of what I geti
A toiler in the larger throng
I'm quite content to be. and yet
Whenever wealthy men I see,
And at our club they move In docks,
One Of the few I'd like to be
Who buy their golf balls by the box.
A new ball. smooth and shining white
To me is a seventy-flve.cent treat;
When I indulge in such delight
I must cut down on what I eat,
And only now and then dare
To put new ball into play.
But he who % q millionaire
May start q fresh one every day,
I'd be a monarch, crowned and
throned,
And count myself secure from
shocks,
II ever coin enough owned
To buy my golf balls BY the box.
