BurleSon for McAdOO.
Color is lent to the supposition that
the President may wish his son-in-
law nominated by the presence here
of admin stration officials working to
that end. Postmaster General Burle-
son. long heralded as the 'President's S
right-hand man in politics" and the
politician of the administration" is
strong for it. Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Shouse, Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Woolley, former
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Love and some minor officials are in
sympathy with the movement to put
McAdoo over" despite. his hanging
back.
McAdoo also is supported by senti-
ment among the delegates which
classes him as having strong hold
on labor. due to his activities as di-
rector general of railways.
Handicap for Palmer.
Palmer's great handicap is the as
sumption by delegates that he is ''in
bad" with labor. resulting from his
course in the coal strike. 1t is argued
by pro-McAdoo advocates that labor
will naturally assume that in sending
McAdoo to the presidential chair la
Dor will have the key to the White
House" and consequently labor will
vote the democratic ticket.
Whom does the President really
want?" is the question heard on every
side, as the delegates from the several
states meet in the various lobbieS of
the Palace Hotel and compare notes.
Not a few of them are still of the
opinion that the President wants the
nomination himself, although when
they say so they add. And yet, 1 can
hardly credit it,
All of this uncertainty and these
vague speculations may at any mo-
ment be dissipated and doubt resolved
by McAdoo declaring firmly that in
no circumstances will he accept the
nomination if rendered, or by the
President, through some authoritative
channel. either giving plain evidence
of his choice or throwing the bride
loose from the convention and let the
candidates run their trial heats.
This talk of an Embossed conven-
tion is all right, in SO far as it refers
to any dominating spirit here hold
ing the whip hand. but the fact is
that President Wilson is still held to

SAN FRANCISCO. June 26.-As the

more definite alignment of strength
for various candidates than there has
been since the delegates began to as

epitomized the situation today in
language with which most observers
seemed to agree.
There will be a lot of tickets put
up and put down before this conven-
tion nominates one" he said.
The closing hours of the pre-con-
vention period are much the same as
characterized the last minute pro-

Seven hundred and ffty-six of the
