ENDORSEMENT
Of SINCLAIR
IS FORECAST 7

LOS ANGELES, Sept. IT. U.P)-
Guarded forecasts that Senator
William Bibbs McAdoo and George
Creel, defeated gubernatorial can
didate, will endorse Upton Sinclair,
Democratic nominee for governor,
were advanced more boldly today
following a series of conferences
and the issuance of statement,
guessing" that the federal adj
ministration will expect Demo-
cratic unity.
The guessing" was ventured by
John B. Elliott, vice chairman of
the state Democratic committee.
"The federal administration"
Elliott said, will expect all Cali
fornia Democrats who are sup
porters of the new deal to get in
and help Upton Sinclair. That is
my guess
McAdoo and Creel conferred with
several other prominent Demo-
Gratis Saturday, but neither would
discuss the conference. The rumor
of pending amity grew yesterday
when Creel called on Sinclair at
the latter's Pasadena home. pre-
sumably to discuss the EPIC plan.
A furry of excitement was Gre
ated by a spokesman at Sinclair
headquarters, announcing that
Creel had offered his support. A
Creel spokesman as quickly denied
it, however.
Elliott also conferred with Sim
clair but stated definitely he would
not announce his gubernatorial pre-
ference before the Democratic state
convention at Sacramento next
Thursday. He said he discussed the
entire political situation with Sim
clair.
When notified of the contents OF
the above dispatch, Cal @. Nous
seau, city clerk and county cam
paign manager for Creel in the re-
cent primary election stated that
he could make no statement in the
matter until Creel himself had done
so.
Mousseau, who is also chairman
of the county Democratic central
committee said that the whole queS'
ton would be settled at the meet
ing of the state Democratic commit
tee which conveneS this week.

many conflicting statements as
