M'ADOO VICTORY
 SEEN IN CHOICE OF JOHN W.DAVIS
Forces Held Together Un- til Bitter End, Says
 Corey
(By HERBERT COREY) Snecial ID The Age.HeraId

NEW YORK, July 9.-Gesture of taking the hat off to William Gibbs McAdoo. He could not win, but he gained honor in losing. Defeated aft CT the longest and most bitter fight in recent democratic history he held his forces together to the bitter end. It was the solid unshakable. unterrified McAdoo vote that dominated John w. Davis. His adversaries were tired. They lacked the grim will to go through an other weary day. They had run com pletely out of staying power. and Me Adoo had it to spare. They took shell ter in the Davis corral with the Me Adoo dog barking at their heels. It was the final act in the most superb exhibition of floor leadership in recol- lection.
 Obvious From Outset
 From the very outset of this sacri- monious struggle it has been evident to every>man upon the sidelines that neither Smith nor McAdoo could win. Ten days ago I made that statement, coupled with the suggestion that Da- wis seemed the most probable dark hope when the leaders had fought them selves out. But as time went on this became increasingly improbable. W. J. Bryan, McAdoo's supporter, even if he did waver from time to time, had de- clared that he would attack Davis from the platform if necessary to stop him, Davis failed to gather strength. His so-caled affiliations with Wall street damned him with many, although there were plenty to admit that. he and Un- derwood were the tive men of outstand- ing ability in the list of candidates.
 All the others who seemed to have
 chance were tired in turn by com

' WASHINGTON, July 9.-They took Calvin Coolidge, yJr., back to Plymouth, Vt, Wednesday night. The lad did not go back to the quaint old village in the Vermont hills to aid his grandfath- CT harvest the crop on his farm, as he had planned, but went back to rest.
 Calvin wanted to help his grand father because labor was scarce" But now the youngster is taken to Ply mouth, but taken in death. His grand father and many friends in the sur rounding country side will not meet Calvin again, but await the coming of the remains of the lad who, so many times was on the brink of death that the dividing line was almost invisible, but yet he rallied and rallied. He as- tonished his doctors by his ability to pull himself on several occasions from deaths door. He made game fight but death found a way and triumphed over him. '
 Thousands Gather Outside
 Simple but impressive services were held at Calvin's bier Wednesday aft ernoon in the east room of the White House, attended by the lads grief stricken parents his brother and a score of dignitaries and distinguished personages. Several thousand plain citizens stood in front of the White House in blistering sun during the entire services,
 There is the tennis court where the boy developed the blister which resulted in his untimely death"
 This was the expression of virtually every mourner who entered the south west gate of the White House. grounds, near which is the tennis court. l
 The court was newly rolled. The net was down. Not since the pnaffect' ed and unselfish youngster played there more than a week ago, has the court been in use. It is uncertain now when it will again be trod on. It was only used by the deceased Calvin and his surviving brother, John.
 Roses Cover Bier
 In the east room, the grey casket, which held all that was mortal of Cal yin, was in the center of the room at the extreme east, in front of small bay window. A blanket of pink rose buds and green ferns covered the bier while the Lay window beyond was banked with magnificent floral pieces. A variety of floral pieces and small palms also banked the four walls of the room.
 Shortly before o'clock, the, invited guests, including the members of the cabinet and their wives, the heads of foreign missions and their wives, sev-
