 Gerard's Opinions.
 James W. Gerard. former ambassa- dor to Germany, has arrived here. He said he favored n declaration in the platform to the effect that before the United States should become a mem- Der of the League of Nations it re- quest other members to release any nations under their dominion that are capable of self-governmcnt. He said it would not he necessary to name such nations but it would have the effect of giving freedom to Ireland.
 He favored immediate peace and the ratification of the peace treaty with such reservations as would not nuIlify its objects. He expressed the FntA I,A of hn country was in favor of prohibition and he favored leaving the schedule out Of the democratic platform.
 Expect Irish Plank.
 Democratic leaders here, while not willing to predict the language or substance, said they believed an Irish plank would be incorporated in the platform. They resisted any sugges- tion that Irish-Americans as a group were opposed to the League of Ma tions
 In behalf of the Friends of Irish Freedom. Daniel T. O'Connell has an- nounced that because of the activities of the Irish sympathizers under the direct guidance of Eamonn De Valera tho Friends of Irish Freedom will not propose any declaration to the con- vcntion resolutions committee.
 De Valera arrives here Sunday to lead a light for democratic support for Irish independence.
 Leaders here now apparently arc prepared to accept President Wilson's views in regard to the League Of Ma tions with little question. somc of them because they are in accord with him and others for reasons of po- litical expediency: but if W. J. Bryan. as has been suggested, plans to urge what would amount practically to ac- ceptance of republican reservations to the league covenant as framed in the senate there is likelihood that hopes for a committee comprise on a league plank would go glimmering. Senator Glass has been busy with conferences today. the purpose or which is not disclosed.

M'ADOO AND BOOZE

Conflicting Reports About Each Are AnnOying-Many Opinions

San Francisco.

These wero tho mysterious and persistent boom for nomination of William c. McAdoo even against his fiat declara- ton that he was not a candidate, and tho conflict as to a prohibition en- forcement plank in tho platform.
 McAdoo adherents were said today to be shaping their plans to withhold his namo from the balloting through out the carly stages. They have learned that he still has strong fol- lowing but arc said to feel that fin view of his attitude it will not be ex- pedient to present his name unless the expected deadlock between the leading candidates-Attorne General Palmer and Governor Cox of Ohio develops.
 In that event there appears to be little doubt that McAdoo will be put forward to break the blockade with tho assurance of consider ra ble strength at the start. Hts friends arc said to have put their heads together to formulate plans Of this nature and map out strategy or tho subsequent campaign to obtain for him the two thirds majority on which democratic nominations must rest.
