HearSt-Hyla/c.up Feared.

There was also the positive state
ment of friends of William Randolph
Hearst and Mayor John F. Hylan
that the departure of these two men
with their families to California was
a health seeking mission. Reports of
a HearStHylan coup aimed at OBJ
structing Davis chances in November
were absolutely without foundation
said their associates.
Mr.. Davis proceeded to lay the
foundation for his campaign in a
leisurely though thorough manner.
He received a few of the most prom
inent party leaders at his Locust
Valley estate, conferred about the
selection of a commanderinc in chief
for his forces, but made no choice;
answered a few of the thousands of
kilograms of congratulations that
have poured in upon him, enjoyed a
round of golf and a salt water swim
with Frank L. Polk, his law partner
and counselor, and announced plans
for a sojourn next week at the home
of Charles Wana Gibson on Islesboro
Island, Penobscot, Me.
McAdoo Family Sails.
Mr.. McAdoo this morning sailed on
the Homeric for six-week tour
of France, Italy and Portugal with
Mrs. McAdoo, their two daughters
and two secretaries.
THE hope of genuine reforms and
progress is more likely to be real
ized at this time through the Demi-
cratic party than through any of it's
opponents he said in prepared
statement, issued when he reached
his suite on the Homeric. II shall,
therefore, give the Davis-Bryan
ticket my cordial support and shall
take part in the campaign on my re-
turn in September"
Mr.. McAdoo set forth that he was
satisfied Mr.. Davis is in full accord
with the progressive program out
lined in the Democratic platform"
and confident that "as President he
would faithfully execute the partv's
mandate"
Referring to criticism voiced
against Mr.. Davis because OF his pro-
fessional activities as lawyer for GER
tain interests, Mr.. McAdoo said: His
high character, integrity and seryi. g
should satisfy every apprehension of
this sort. If / did not believe this T
could not render aid, because I have
always believed that the interests of
the people should never be subordi-
mated to merely slavish PARTISAN
ship"
Rockwell Promises Aid.
Mr.. Rockwell was the last nerson
to bid Mr.. McAdoo adieu. Afterward
he said that instead of returning i'm
mediately to his home at Cleveland
Ohio. he would spend a few days on
Long Island, recuperating from the
effects of his strenuous labors in Mr.
McAdoo's behalf. Applying his
statement of last night that Mr.. Da-
Wis became his candidate ''the mo-
ment he was nominated" Mr.. Rock
we'll declared he stood ready and
willing to take an active part in put
ting Mr.. Davis into the White House.
In view of the fact that he was
contact man" of the, McAdoo forces
and thus might be invaluable in
swinging many of the most inf1uen-
tial McAdoo supporters over to the
militant Davis ranks, Mr.. Rockwell
was asked if he would have a place
in the management of the Davis cam
paign.
Il can't say" he replied. II have
been approached on the subject, but
not by persons in authority" He in
dicated he would welcome an oppor-
tunity to serve where he could most
influence Mr.. Davis prospects in the
November elections.
