 Here group of phos) s)-rapf er:' broke through the police corlon and asked McAdoo to hoEd still for a noment. This is a two-ring circus-posing for pictures and making q speech at the same time,' he said with laugh.
 "ssuming bis speech. McAdoo said:
 FOresees Great Victory
 If the democratic party is true to ts principles, there inevitably will be q treat victory in 1924. If it fails to siege this great opportunity, it de- serves defeat and it will get it. There isn't room in this country for two re- actionary parties We have one-a fine reactionary, boss-controlled party the republican party. We must oppose it with progressive, organized demo- cracy."
 Hundreds broke through the police ring to shake McAdoo's hand and only heroic efforts by police, assisted by sev eral of the McAdoo staff, saved the candidate and Mrs. McAdoo from being badly squeezed. Both smiled helplessly as the police fought back the crowd and jammed a path through to the station entrance where a band of 15 automobiles were waiting. Falling in l behind an escort of mounted and motor cycle police, the McAdoo procession, de- corated with banners, moved cross town through well-lined streets to the Vanderbilt hotel, where campaign head quarters have been established. Here another great crowd was waiting to | give a demonstration.
 Tom Love, national committeeman of Texas; Edward +. Goltra, national committeeman for Missouri; Walter Moore of Alabama and Ed Moore, Cox manager in 1920, arrived Wednesday. | Three big figures are due Thursday William J. Bryan, Tom Taggart, In diana Boss, and Joe Tumulty, who was Woodrow Wilson's White House secre- tary.
 In reply to the famous Coolidge slo- gan, democrats circulated fans bearing the slogan: Keep cool without Cool idge."
 As a counter-irritant to the Smith atmosphere, movies showing McAdoo in broncho-busting costume are being shown at local houses. McAdoo cam- paign headquarters will issue its own newspaper during the convention. It will be called Progressive Democracy and distributed to delegates just before the convention meets each day.
 Unbiased Dope"
 "The purpose is to give the delegates unbiased information" a McAdoo lieu tenant said. "The real purpose is to offset the friendly Smith news in some I AI..
 Smith forces are saving their fire works. The governor is remaining in his suite at the Biltmore, receiving political associates. But he rarely ap- pears in public. The Smith ballyhoo has been held up until the delegates ar- rive at the end of the week.
 The two Davis booms made their ap- pearance Wednesday. John w. Davis of New York and West Virginia was said to be picking up strength quietly as a compromise possibility. Governor | Jonathan Davis of Kansas is favorite son candidate, but the delegation is i likely to go to McAdoo after few bal lots. If McAdoO is stopped, the Kan sans probably will swing back to the governor temporarily.
 To Decide Fight
 Whether the McAdoo forces will go through with their fight against the two-thirds rule is to be decided at a series of conferences Wednesday night between McAdoo and his friends.
 There is division on this point in the McAdoo camp, some fearing that if the fight is unsuccessful. McAdoo's candi- dacy will lose strength from an initial defeat on such vital proposition~
 George Brennan, Tom Taggart and the Smith forces will form the main triumvirate against the casting over board of this principle. They will have assistance from many of the weaker candidates VITO realize that the best chance of stopping McAdoo is through operation of the two-thirds rule. Bren- nan declared that the convention should not drop the 'two-thirds rule unless it abandons the unity rule also.
 But most politicians contend that the unit rule-by which some delegae tions from their states to cast the vote of the total delegation according to instructions or between the delegation and it's source of authority-the state primary. the state convention. or the state law as the case may be. This re- lationship, the convention cannot legally interfere with. according to the McAdoo forces.
 Brennans contention-and that of the Smith faction of course-is that the two-thirds rule operates as a curb
