GOV. MORROW NO LONGER
CONSIDERED FOR CHAIRMAN

Chicago, June 2-The "elder
statesmen" in the Republican party,
who are determined at all hazards
to defeat Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
as a candidate for the presidential
nomination, are now using Senator
Warren G.. Harding of Ohio as their
principal stalking horse to attain that
end.
While there is not believed to be
any serious intention among lead
ers who will play an important par.
at the convention to contend for the
nomination of Mr.. Harding, his boom
took on new life today under cir
cumstances clearly indicating that it
had been the subject of expert treat
ment and artificial stimulation.
Representatives of the Republican
National Committee continue to take
the stand that no decision has been
reached as to permanent chairman
for the convention which convenes
here on Tuesday next.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is to be
temporary chairman of the conven-
ton, and the question still is in doubt
as to whether he also shall be per
manent chairman. The report that
Senator Mccormick may be perma-
nent chairman still persists. Mr.. Nc
Cormick is a treaty irreconcilable, and
his appointment may rest upon the
ability of party leaders to reach an
agreement on this all-important ques-
tion.
1t seems fairly certain at this stage
of the campaign that neither Govern
or Morrow Of Kentucky nor formei
Senator Beveridge of Indiana, both OF
whom have been mentioned as can
didates for the permanent chairman
ship, will be selected.
1t is probable that no decision viii
he heard until Mr.. Penrose and othel
of the more important leaders of the
party speak their opinions as to the
availability of Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Nc
Cormick.

SWINGING TO cox
CBy Louis seibold in n. Y. WorlO

(By Louis SeiboId in n Y World)
Washington, June 2-Governor
Cox appears to be growing in
popular favor with the profess
sional Democratic leaders. He al
ready has Kentucky and Ohio in
his string with prospects of land
ing New York, Indiana, Illinois,
and in fact, the greater number of
mid Western states.
The favoring sentiment toward
the Ohio governor is largely in
f1uenced by the belief of leaders
that no man connected with the
present administration should be
chosen. Governor Cox is pro-
nounced Sound" on all the Dem
ocratic essentials. He is for a
League of Nations, has provided a
very good reconstruction pro-
gram in his own state, and while
\ not outspokenly wet, is not dry.
Tt1is the latter fact that attracts
support to him in the larger states

While the leaders admit that
Mr.. McAdoo is ar important fac
tor in the race, they do not be-

are clear cut and convincing te

cy of the demands of radical la
Dor groups, and his espousal OF
the dry cause.
Mr.. McAdoo's campaign has
been cleverly managed, in that
while he is held to be decidedly
radical" in some parts of the
country, he is credited as having
the support of a very powerful
group of Wall Street financiers,
who assert that he is really a con-
servative. Of the other demo-
Gratis for whom delegates have
been instructed or tentative
promises of support given, each
seem to have an outside" chance
but none is regarded as a serious
contender for the presidential
prize.
