San Francisco, June 25.-Tom Wat

former Senator Thos w Hardwick. who

Hardwick said if the national committee

Some OF the members off the Smith

evidence fnat on showdown the anti
administration forces not only were far
in the minority but were lacking in
organization and leadership.
The ascendancy of the Wilson sup
porters showed itself in striking fashion
in the program of the national commit
tee meeting to decide between contest
ing delegates.
Many committee members expressed
the opinion when recess was taken
until tomorrow without the Georgia con-
test or the Missouri case having been
reached that the ruling to be made in
those cases would be shaped TO keep
Missouri and former Senator Hardwick,
of Georgia, two of the bitterest critics
of the Wilson policies.
Glass Right coIIapses.
Another development pointing in the
same direction was the apparent collapse
of fight against Senator Glass of
Virginia in his candidacy for chairman
of the resolution committee, a post for
which he is commonly reported to have
been selected by the president himslf.
In addition there was accumulating
evidence that William Jennings Bryan
would find the cards against him in his
attempt to put into the platform league

acquiesence of the administration.
Dry Law Uncertain.
With regard to prohibition. however,
the situation remained in a state of con-
siderable uncertainty, with the trend
toward exclusion of the sub
ject from the platform entirely
Those who want a liberalization
plank continued an active campaign and
some members of the New York dele
cation declared they would carry their
fight to the floor of the convention it
self. but a feeling gained headway that
in the end both Mr.. Bryan's bone dry
declaration and that of the anti-bone
drys would be voted down.
Presidents Stand Underlined
Just where President Wilson stands
on that subject has not been made clear,
but increasing significance was attached
in the days conferences to the absence
Of any reference to prohibition in the
Virginia Democratic platform. unquai-
fiedly endorsed by the White House.
Neither has the administration tipped
it's hand in regard to presidential can
didates and tonight the relative stand

changed. Attorney General Palmer ar
rived during the day to take personal
charge of his campaign and by Saturday

ayers among the uninstructed delegates

Compromise Man. !.

San Francisco, June 25.-Those
who originally had suggested fight
against Senator Glass for the plat
form committee chairman apparent
Iy had turned their efforts tonight
toward selection of Senator Walsh
of Montana as permanent chairman
Of the convention. Senator Walsh,
who quit President Wilson's lead in
the senate In March to vote for the
treaty with reservations, heretofore
was urged as the logical opponent
of Senator Glass.
1t was said tonight that the ad-
ministration chiefs had reached no
decision as TO the permanent chair
marship and that in the end they
might accept Senator Walsh with
out a contest. There also was talk
of selecting Senator Robinson of
Arkansas for the place.
Senator Walsh said on his arrival
here he would "feeI very honored"
If selected as chairman of the reso-
cratic convention.
81 think no declaration of the
subject of prohibition is necessary
he said.
His position In the League of Ma
tlons controversy, he said, would be
acceptable to the administration.
81 believe my experience on the
resolutions committee of the last
three national conventions and my
work on subcommittee In actually
drawing up pianks qualities me to
act as chairman here" he said.
