CHICAGO, June 3.-There has
been no agreement for voluntary
receivership of Wilson & Co, the
$121, 100000 Chicago packing cor

for Il reorganization without such

nnNriUhf 1904 l


WASHINGTON, June 4.-HaVing
won the primaries in Florida, Judge
David Ladd Rockwell today stated
William Gibbs McAdoo would have a
total of 632 within the first six bal
lots in the Democratic National Con-
VentiOn, which is just one hundred
less than the necessary tWO-thirds.
Mr.. Rockwell insists that the min
imum number pledged to McAdoo,
either by personal preference or state
instruction, is 552, and that he is NOR
ally certain of the remaining number
to make up tWo-thrids.
The McAdoo manager was full of
optimism after the victory in Flori-
da, where he said final results would
show d two to one triumph. He re-
CARDS Senator Underwood as having
been virtually eliminated from the
presidential contest and comedies that
Governor Al Smith is the most for
midable opponent McAdoo will have
at the New York convention.
What do you think" he was ask
ed. "of the announcement that Sen
ator La Toilette intends to run ire
spective of whether McAdoo is NOM
mated by the Democrats?"
La Toilette Helps Cause
"That helps our cause" he answer
ed, because it shows the necessity
of nominating a progressive at New
York. For if the Democrats should
nominate a conservative to run along
siGe of the Republican conservative
nominated at Cleveland, the progress
sives would have a good chance to
Win"
Judge Rockwell, of course, con-
siders McAdoo true progressive and
as the antithesis of President Cool
idge. Should McAdoo be nominated
Judge Rockwell argues that again
McAdoo would be the beneficiary of
a La Toilette campaign. His idea
is that the Wisconsin senator would
take away all the Republican pro-
gressive and radical votes while the
Democrats would lose virtually no
strength.
AS for the two-thirds rule, Judge

M'ADOO'S MANAGER, ELATED
AT FLORIDA VICTORY, CLAIMS
632 VOTES ON EARLY BALLOT
La Foettes Decision to Enter Race Helps the Cause,
Rockwell Says, Becaus Conservative Cand-
date Plainly Would Have Little Chance

Rockwell said he was confident Me
Adoo could be nominated with OF
without it, but that if the commit
tee on rules should recommend that
Il majority vote is sufficient to nOmi-
nate, then McAdOo would have such
a majority on the very first ballot.
The McAdoo managers, however,
will not try to have the tWo-thirds
rule abolished, as they recognize
that consideration entirely apart
from the selection of a candidate this
year might influence the voting and
they nave no desire to make a test
of strength on this issue when -
is not essential to final success of
their party. They feel sure that a
candidate who gets the majority will
be. given the necessary tWo-thlrds
just as happened in San Francisco.
Seldom Has Failed
Only three times has this custom
failed, notably in 1914 when Martin
Van Buren,, the original beneficiary
of the rule of 1876, was beaten, and
in 1860, when the Charleston con-
vention gave a majority TO Stephen
A. Douglas, and in Baltimore in
1912, when Champ Clark had 55S,
but was finally defeated by Woodrow
Wilson.
The McAdoo forces say they are
not sponsors of the proposal to abOl-
ish the tWo-thirds rule, that it origi-
mated with the anti-McAdoo men
like George Brennan, of Illinois. 1t
is a safe assumption that the mat
ter will not come to climax at this
convention and that if if ever is
abolished it will be under circum-
stances which do not affect the for
tunes of a particular candidate.
The next state in which the Nc
Adoo management is interested is
Utah, which holds its state conven-
ton tomorrow. There is a likelihood
of direct instruction for McAdoo.
This about winds up the state con-
tests, but the battle of personal per
suasion with uninstructed and un-
pledged delegates has begun and will
continue with intense activity in the
next two weeks.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June d
William c.. McAdoo continued to pile
up a commanding lead for Democrat

ida voters over Oscar w. Underwood,
as the returns from yesterdays state
