NJ 'ADOO BES|EGED
TO RUN NEXT YEAR
Dry Democrats Say Leader
ship Is EssentiaI-BeIieve
He Will Agree.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, January 25.-William
G. McAdoo, who has said he is in
New York on legal business, has been
visited at his hotel by friends from
several States who have urged him
to become a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for President, New
York newspapers say today.
These friends are declared to have
based their pleas on the argument
that Mr.. McAdoo's leadership Is es-
sential to assure success for the ef-
forts of the dry and progressive"
elements of the party. A plan of cam
paign also is said to have been talked
over.
The Times says that while nothing
definite concerning whether he again
would consent to seek the nomination
could be had from Mr.. McAdoo, the
general impression of those who
talked with him was that he would.
Baruch Among Visitors.
Mai. John s. Cohen, national COM
mitteeman from Georgia; Austen E.
Mccullough, former State chairman
of Pennsylvania, and Bernard M.
Baruch, financier, are among those
who have visited Mr.. McAdoo.
George Fort Milton, Chattanooga
publisher, who directed the McAdoo
publicity campaign two years ago, also
Is in the city.
1t is asserted that the first attack
in the McAdoo campaign, If he decides
to become a candidate, will be upon
the two-thirds vote rule, which, 1t has
been claimed, prevented the nomina-
ton of Mr.. McAdoo in 1924. Milton
says McAdoo supporters have lined up
81 of the 108 members of the Demo
cratic national committee for such
change. This rule requires a two
thirds vote of the delegates to secure
nomination.
Would End Unit Rule.
The anti-McAdoo forces, principally
made up of supporters of Gov. Smith
of New York, favor abrogation of the
two.thirds rule. but insist that the unit
rule also shall go.
The New York World, Smith sup
porter, says 1t understands that there
Is little chance that the national COM
mittee will act on convention rules
before 1928 and that members of the
committee who are supporters of
neither McAdoo nor Smith look
askance at any move which might pre-
cipitate a struggle between them in
advance of the convention.
Milton announces receipt of tele-
gram from p. II. Callahan of Louis
vile, KY, who was in charge of the
war work of the Knights of Columbus
during the World War, urging Mr.. Nc
Adoo to run.
''McAdoo," the telegram said, has
only a negligible opposition in the
South and West and no opposition
from the dry and progressive elements
in the Democratic party throughout
the country. I urge a vigorous cam
paign for McAdoo in the interest OF

The Steam Driven Plane
Outlining his design for a giant
steam driven plane. Strohschein an
nounced plans for a flight next year
to Europe in eighteen or twenty
hours.
His machine, he said, will have a
wing spread of lis feet and will
weigh with full load about eight
tons. 1t will be made entirely of
metal and will mount two 1000
horsepower steam Turbine motors.
Construction. he said, will start
shortly on a site already leased near
Stapleton. s l, He declared steam
driven plane to be superior to one
with a gasoline engine in that it
would have greater speed and would
operate at less cost and with no
danger of explosion.
Mr.. Strohschein, who said he has
studied the subject of steam driven
airplane for six years declared that
in addition to 500 gallons of crude
oil and 1000 gallons of water, his
plane will be able to take up two
pilots, a mechanic. an observer and
eight passengers.

The plane in a general way re-

and the use of only two engines in
