Price changes during the month

McAdoo's Machine"

Repeated polls Of the National

majority for McCombs. Many stood
by McCombs because they were
angered by the Presidents persis-
tent rejection OF the tnerest sug-
gestion as TO the patronage or pol

their chairman. They were boldly

Mr.. McCombs expresses q con-

in a special to the New York Ameri-

Keeps Rivals Split

He reached Washington two days
In advance Of the committee meet
ing. He found the Wilson McAdoo
group split among three men who
had been suggested for his success
>sor. They were Frederick b. Lynch,
Of Minnesota; Vance Mccormick. of
Pennsylvania, and Henry Morgen-
thau. Of NewtYork. McCombs made
1t his job to keep them split.
The Lynch coterie had lined UP
behind Chicago as the convention
city. Some Of the Mccormick men
were for st. Louis: some for Chi
cago. and some behind Postmaster
General Albert 8. Burleson to send
the President-makers to Dallas,
Tex. As for Morgenthau, there
seemed to be no votes for him at
all.
McCombs clinched q renewed grip
on the party's national machine by
inducing the committee to select
st. Louis for the convention.
The President. hearing that the
anti-McCombs movement had
proved abortivs. ordered the fight
to cease.
Mr.. McCombs here resumed his
story:

April "a, 1915. he served formal
notice that he desired no identifi-

naming the President for q second

Mr.. McCombs wrote President
Wilson:
my Dear Mr.. President--I have
just formed q new partnership for

come effective the first Of May.
