NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENS

NeNerthless, circumstances indicate that nothing serious and unexpected has happened to the McAdoo candidacy.
 1t is safe to say with perfect cer- tainty that MT. McAdoo up until a few days before his statement in New York declining to allow his name to go be- fore the convention had fully expected to have his candidacy presented to the delegates. Mir. McAdoo had chosen Daniel C. Roper to represent him upon the ground here. MT. McAdoo had to be consulted upon questions relating to the platform. MT. Roper was to be there to speak for hin- This plan of the ex-Seeretary was known to his DO litical friends less than one week be- fore the New York statement was is- sued. Mir. McAdoo had this plan when he was hero in the west He discussed it with his friends and political asso- ciates His doing so indicated that he had in mind at least receptive can didacy. He left the west with this idea in mind. He returned to New York and within a day or two after his ar rival there issued his statement de- clining to have his name presented to the convention. He instructed Roper not to go to San Francisco Roper at McAdoo's request, cancelled his reser- vations for rooms here.
 Although urged by others to be pres ent, in case the delegates should insist upon naming McAdoo. Roper takes the stand that he cannot come here, as his presence would tend to cast discred~. upon McAdoos unwillngness to be nominated.

San Francisco, June 24.- Especially - Senator Carter Glass of Virginia has arrived here with authority from for mer Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo to with draw MT. McAdoo's name in case it is presented to the con- vention.
 It is not certain whether Mir. Glass will exercise this authority or perhaps it is better so say, 1t is not certain whether he will accede to MT. McAdoo's request to prevent the convention from Glass persisted in telling friends of the former Secretary that he was still for him in spite of his expressed wish not to be nominated.
 The Me doc withdrawal
 strengthened as it is by the in-
 struction to Mir. Glass, furnishes
 the first-cInss mystery of the con-
 vention. Not many delegates have
 arrived yet, but those that are here
 take Mir. McAdoo seriously as n
 candidate. Friends like Senator
 Glass think that Mir. McAdoo will
 be nominated In spite of himself.
 Those who are friendly admit that the convention, after being deadlocked between Attorney General Palmer, Gov ernor Cox and other minor possibilities will turn to MT. McAdoo, who will not be able to refuse the nomination once it has been made. The majority of the press representatives here, who, al this stage of the convention, outnumber the delegates present ten to one, still re- gard Mir. McAdoo as the lkeliest cam

PRESIDENT ASSURED
 OF EARLY DECISION BY RAILWAY BOARD
Decision Fixing New Wage Schedules for All Classes of Railroad Workers
 Coming Soon
By Associated Press

Washington, June 24-Assurances that the railroad labor board would ex- pedite it's award in the railroad wage controversy were received today by President Wilson.
 The boards message to the Presi- dent was in reply to an inquiry by the executive as to possibility of hasten ing the award or of announcing ten tative or partial settlement. The reply of the board had not been made pub lie at the White House tonight. but it was understood to set forth that some delay must occur in a matter in which there are so many conflicting be considered and so much evidence, both oral and written, to be reviewed.
 While hopeful that the text of the boards reply would be made public eventually, representatives here of the railroad unions said that the mere as surance that an early award could be expected would exercise a beneficial effect at least in preventing the spread of incipient strikes.
 PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
 The President. in his message to the board in Chicago, said:
 Reports placed before me show transportation situation hourly grow ing more difficult. and 1 am wonder ing whether it would not be possible for your board to announce decision with reference to the pending wage matter. At least would it not be pos sib1e for your board, if it has reached Ia to hao Vital matters, tentatively to agree upon settlement or even partial settle ment?'
 The interstate commerce commission it became known today. is watching the strikes in eastern railroad cen ters notably Philadelphia and Balti- more, and is particularly concerned with the effect of the walkouts on it's efforts to relieve, freight congestion /lnd to move coal to New England and tther eastern points where coal shortage exists.
 The walk -out today of yardmen at the Potomac yards, across the Potomac river from Washington, resulted in the placing of temporary embargoes on all freight passing through the yards which handle most of the freight be- tween the south and the eastern por- tion of the country. It was announced tonight, however that full crew re- ported at the yards at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and as it was this shift that started the walk-out yesterday, yaiFl officials were hopeful that the strike WAS over.
 Yard officials estimated that there were 5000 carloads of freight in the yards, 99 per cent of which is billed for cities other than Washington.

People here recall the Presidents habitual stand against Nepotism his objection to the appointment of his brother and other members of his fam- fly to office. The best opinion here is that Mir.

Though publicly executed at the hands of Mir McAdoo himself, the movement did not down.

LIVELY TIME EXPECTED
 IF REED APPEARS

San Francisco. June 24.-Members or the national committee, which meets tomorrow afternoon to complete the temporary roll of delegates to the democratic convention. anticipate lively time if Senator James A. Reed of Missouri appears and tries to have, himself placed on the list. The Mis- souri senator. who is bitter opponent of the League of Nations covenant and who has opposed many administratlon measnres in the senate, arrived here late today to fight his own battle for recog- milton as delegate.
 Although the senator claims to have been elected a delegate from the Fifth Missouri district his name does not appear on the list of delegates made un by the secretary of the national committee fa6 submission to the com mittee tomorrow
 The Missouri state convention some time ago rejected the selection of Reed as a delegate by the Fifth district demo- crats According to the records of the national committee here, the Fifth dis trict did not select a delegate to fill his place during the life CT the state con- yention, but reelected him at subse- quent meeting.
 According to Executive Secretary Hol- lister of the national committee. it Is claimed Reeds reelection was illegal

 It was said that if Senator Reed's g credentials were not recognized an ef- fort would be made by the senator to obtain a proxy in order to get the floor and fight the administration plank for the Ie,r,,e cf N"tio-s
 WILL RESIST EFFORTS
 Supporters of the Wilson admlnistra- ton make no secret of their intention to resist Reeds efforts to participate in the convention proceedings.
 The Georgia contest. the only one off cially filed with the national committee. probably will be considered by a sub committee before final action is taken by the full committee. There is fight between one set of delegates favoring A. Mitchell Palmer for President and an- other known as the Hoke Smth-Tom Watson group.

WALSH STORM CENTER

senator w diSn O1 MOntand, WnO ROteu in the Senate last March for ratification of the peace treaty with the republican reservations. promised to become the storm center of the organization fight. In some quarters he wa% urged as can didate against Senator Glass for head Of the platform committee, though others thought he should have the permanent chairmanship instead. He had the back ing of William Jennings Bryan and was said to be favored also by other power ful forces more or less out of accord with some administration policies.
 The administration people have sug- gested Secretary Colby of the state de- partment or Chairman Cummings of the national committee as permanent chair man, but it was said today that no de- cision had been reached, and that Sena- tor walsh might be accepted as satisfacv tory.
 The general trend tonight seemed to be to put him forward for the conven- tion chairmanship rather than for the head of the platform committee.
 FIGHT TALK DISCOUNTED
 Chairman Cummings and other na- tional committee officials discounted talk of an open anti administration fight and protested vigorously against lobby gossip that President Wilson
  gard to the candidate or the platform.
 q am aware" said Mir. Cummings, "of no intention by the President to com municate with the committee in any way, shape or form. I anticipate no voluntary suggestion from him"
 He added. of course. there could be no restraint on the Presidents friends in any communication they might care to establish with the White House. tl l., ( yhofa a To nf the chief executive had been to let the convention work out it's own destiny.
 Senator Glass, who arrived last night from Washington as the commonly re- puted spokesman of the White House, also denied that the President would seek to control the deliberations here. The senator came to make fight favorable to the administration, but If he brought any word of White House preference between candidates 1t did not show up on the surface in today's conferences.

Mayfower Historians in
Tercentenary Celebration
British and Dutch Speakers at
Plymouth Take Issue With

PLYMOUTH, England, Sept. 4.-The
Mayfower tercentenary celebration,
which will continue until September r
II, began to-day with historical and
literary conference, participated in by
British, Dutch and American May
flower historians. At the conference
British and Dutch speakers took issue
with some American writer's who be-
lieve that most of the Mayfower his
torical research work has been COM
pleted.
Dr. Rendel Harris, chairman Of the
English-speakins union, who main
tanned that he had found part Of the
hull of the Mayfower used as supports
for a barn in England, and DR.. Dploo-
jion, of Leyden, both said that much
of the history of the Pilgrim fathers
remains to be found.
They produced newly discovered doc
umcnts giving details of the more in.
innate side of the lives, activities and
relationships of the Pilgrims and de-
clared they expected to find many
more.
The people of Plymouth have en-
deavored to make this primarily an
American celebration. The tSars and
Strips predominatc in the generous
decorations throughout the city. Or
ganizers of the celebration, however.
frankly voice their disappointment at
the small number of Americans in
Plymouth. They hope that many more
will come during the height Of the
ceremonies early next week.
