Gavin McNab, @, Dies ill San Francisco

San Francisco, Dec. 29 Pl-Gavln McNab. 64. noted attorney. demo- cratic leader and celebrated ra- contour. is dead. He was stricken with apoplexy in his office yester- day.
 Bench, bar. officialdom, and the general public hastened 10 pay tribute to the lawyer who started his career as clerk in hotel here and became one of the best known at torneys in the United States, win ming fame as counsel for Mary Pick ford, Jack Dempsey, Charles Chap lin and the Doheny oil interests.
 The climax of his career in poli- tics came when, as head of the Cali fornia delegation to the democratic convention which nominated John w. Davis for president. he was largely instrumental in holding the delegates from 12 western states SOL idly behind William Gibbs McAdoo in the long deadlock between the McAdoo forces and those backing Al Smith.
 He became clerk In the old Occi- dental hotel here. then famous as the political headquarters of the city, and studied law at odd mo- ments.
 McNab never held office by cleo ton, except as delegate to the na- tional conventions. By appointment he served in many capacities. Presi- dent Wilson named him as a mem- Der of the industrial labor confer ence which sought to end the steel strike, and during the World War he was on the aircraft board organ ization committee. He was also named arbiter for shipbuilding labor disputes here.

CURTIS BOOSTED
 OVER CHRISTMAS
Kansas Senator Takes Step
 Toward White House

Washington, Dec. % UP)-Poli- tical jockeying over the Christmas holidays had, ih the opinion of poli- tical experts here today, enhanced the position of Senator Charles l.. Curtis of Kansas, one of the two an- nounced candidates for the 1928 re- publican presidential nomination..
 Developments brought Curtis into favor with the so-calied independent group which had hitherto favored Senator George Norris Of Nebraska as first choice.
 Norris had been in poor health re- gently and his friends feared he would not be able to make an active campaign outside of Nebraska. They like Curtis because he voted for the McNary-Haugen bill and other in- dependent measures although he was republican floor leader of the senate.
 In New York this week Senator Nye, an ardent independent of North Dakota who has been working for Norris. announced Curtis would not be objectionable and he favored the kansan. The United Press learned from usually reliabl source here that North Dakota independents were laying plans to pledge the state for Governor Sorle as a 1avorite son whose chances of success were not generally regarded as good as those of Curtis. It was said Curtis would he named as second choice, and the delegation would go to him after casting few complimentary ballots for Sorlie.
 Some similar plans were being proposed for other independent states of the northwest to straighten out the present tangle stirred mp be- cause of Norris failure to declare himself as d candidate.
 Curtis was doing little about his candidacy and had no hand in ar ranging the North Dakota situation. Campaign buttons have been sent by his workers in Kansas and now are being distributed there. It was doubtful whether headquarters would be opened formally for him outside Of his home state at least until near convention time in June.
