REPORTED
FAVORED
: q. Louis Is Ready to Engage
in Spirited Bidding When
Committee Chooses.
By Cosmopolitan News Service.

By Cosmopolitan News Service.
J With the meeting Of the Demo-
cratic national committee now
!, a)onIy about two weeks off, Chi
ReaGo and st. Louis are the lead
ing contenders for the party's
next national convention.
It was said at Democratic
national headquarters today that
while several cities are still seek
ing the conclave, Chicago and St.
Louis are the only two that give
spromise Of backing up their in
svitations with healthy expense
checks.
Other Bids Expected.
Before the cnomittee meets here
January is to decide the matter,
however. officials would not be sur
Fprised to see attractive bids made
by few other cities, particularly
New York and San Francisco.
As things now stand, every indi-
cafion points to either Chicago or
sSt. Louis being selected.
y Reports that W. G. McAdoo, one
of the leading candidates for the
4DemOcratic nomination. is in favor
OF having the convention go to Chi.
sGagO have tended to make that city
stl1e favorfte. This is because Nc
aJAdo0 Is understood to have more
snembers Of the national committee
sDledged to his candidadcy than any
other individual candidate, COM
ehined with the belief that Chicago
sEtH 80 as FAR as any other city in
agaaranteeing convention expenses.
Men Follow Leader.
Under the circumstances McAdoo
committeeman may be expected to
follow the wishes of their candidate.
especially IL they have reasons to
sbelieve his candidate will be helped
Democratic officials admit there
appears to be some basis for the re.
hpOrt that McAdoo favors the Windy
City, but they do not attempt to
explain his reasons for doing so.
One suggestion is that the former
Secretary Of the Treasury has in
Hmind using Chicago for trading
purposes with Illinois Democrats,
Tho. on the whole, have been
khogtile to his candidacy. In return
for using his influence in having
Chicago selected. McAdoo might be
able TO command some considera-
ton from Charles Bremen, Illinois
Democratic leader, and heretofore
aligned with the Charles F. Murphy
Thomas Taggart group. which is
out after McAdoo's scalp.
Another suggestion. quite the re-
verse, is that McAdoo desires to
have the convention go to Chicago
In order that he may fight his
enemies on their own ground, be-
1ieving that he would be able to
make an impression with his follow
Ing that would influence the local
situation.
n. 7. Out Of Running.
The fact that New York for the
moment is practically out Of the
running and further that Brennan
Is identified with the MurphyTag.
CART forces causes Chicago to be
an even greater favorite over st.
Louis. Provided New York does
not make a last-minute attempt to
land the convention, Murphy and
Taggart, it is believed, may be
counted upon to render whatever
assistance they can in having Chi
itcago named.
Meantime st. Louis IL active and
q prepared to engage in spirited
bidding. occording to local repre-
sentafives Of the city. A strong
deIeRafion win be on hand. when
the committee meets, to urge &C
ceptanca OF their invitation.

v. I. COREY MAY
LIVE AGAIN
IN PARIS
Reconciliation With First Wife
RumoredSt Steel Man
Silent on Plans.

BY Cosmopoiltan News service.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The an
nouncement by friends Of William
Ellis Corey that he would make his
home In France gave rise to the
belief today that he would seek a
reconciliation with his second wife,
the former MabelIe Gilman.
She divorced him in Paris recent
w. chiefly because he refused to
live there and she could not bear
America.
Corey's plans have remained q
close secret, both as to motives and
ultimate purposes. Thwarted politi-
cal ambition and dislike Of news
paper publicity at home drove Will
liam Waldorf Aston to England for
life.
Drops Many Interests.
Friends said that he had disasso-
ciated himself from the dozen direc-
torates which have bound him to
the business life Of the nation, CIV
ing them up one after another az
each corporation had its annual
meeting, so quietly that few had
noted his steady withdrawal until
his retirement from the directorate
Of the Cuba Cane Sugar Corpora
ton marked the end Of his corpor-
ate obligations.
OF late he has given up ali hfs
downtown offices, and now it is
said that his house at 991 Fifth ave
nue. is about to BE disposed OF.
He gave farewell luncheon two
weeks ago at which business init
mates said good-by. y
Industrial Work Done.
Corey's active connection with the
steel business, which reached the
peak of it's importance when he
headed the United States Steel Cor.
poration, was followed by his or.
ganization Of the Midvale Steel and
Ordnance Company. Then the mer.
ger OF that concern with Bethlehem,
marking the business reunion Of
two Of the oldtime Carnegie boys, 80
William e. Corey and Charles M.
Schwab, left Corey no outstanding
industrial work to carry on.
Incidentally, with Carnegie dead
and Frick dead, and Corey about to
forsake his country, Schwab will re.
main as the only one Of those four
steel kings still carrying on in the
steel business.
