Mccormick Ridicu|es
Wi||kie 'Dare,' Calls
Him Joke, Foreigner
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. July 17.-Comment-
ing on Wendell Wilkes challenge
to oppose him in the Illinois presi-
dental preference primary election,
Col. Robert H. Mccormick, Chicago
Tribune publisher. said yesterday
that at present he did not believe
Mr. Willkie could carry a single
State west Of New Jersey-either in
the primaries or the general cleo
ton"
Anybody can beat Willkie in Hi
nols,' the publisher said. Hes a
joke out there"
Mr.. Willkie. 1910 Republican pres
idential nominee, challenged Col
Mccormick to run, after the pub
Usher had been asked by resolution
Of the Republican Nationalist Re-
vival Committee to permit his name
to be entered in the primary. The
committee recently was organized
with an announced aim to help
maintain the Republican party as
the "nationalist" party in United
States politics.
No Indication of Acceptance.
Col. Mccormick has not indicated
whether he would accept the offer Of
the committee, which also stated its
opposition to Mr.. Willkie.
Asked specifically by neWsmen II
he would enter the Illinois primary,
Col. Mccormick brushed aside the
question.
Shown a report of Mr. Wilkes
challenge, the publisher said on his
arrival here from Canadian busi
ness trip:
Il don't believe that foreigner
(Willkie) can carry the State of
Illinois.
Il won't pay any attention to that
story and advertise that joke. He
and his hackers only couple his
name and mine to get in the news
papers. Why, anybody can beat him
in Illinois. I just won't say another
thing"
Asked who would be a logical en-
try in the Illinois primaries, the
publisher replied: why, the Gov
ernor, Of course-DWight Green.
He has the organization and sup
port. Or Senator Wayland Brooks,
who is in the same position as the
Governor.
Macarthur by Acclamation."
Asked if he thought a military
man might be the next successful
presidential candidate, Col. McCor-
mick said:
Yes, that's very possible. I'd
venture to say that If a convention
was held now Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur would be nominated by ac-
clamation'
AS to his personal choice OF q
nominee, Col. Mccormick said:
ANY one of half dozen Sena-
tors might suddenly turn out to be
good presidential material. Taft
(Senator Taft of Ohio, suppose is
among the most prominent. If Ohio
goes for Taft he will be in a strong
position-if not, he's nowhere. Any
Of the nine new Republican Sena-
tors might suddenly come up, but
don't know. It's too early to tell"
"As things stand now, any Re-
publican nominee except Willkie can
beat Roosevelt" he added.
Mr.. Willkie declined comment on
the publishers remarks.
