It was declared here today, but will encounte: the active opposition of that Demo cratlc leader. Judge King himself refused to dis cuss the subject here today, but It was said by a man who is believed to be well informed that the ground of his opposition would be that Mr. Teal had not done enough work for the party to entitle him to so distinguished con sineration. Judge King himself was one of the early lndorsers of Governor Wilson's candidacy, and his work for Wilson in the Oregon primaries and afterward at the Baltimore convention, and still later at the Western Demo cratic headquarters at Chicago, brought mm in close touch with men who, it is believed, will be high in the councils of the Wilson Administration. Among these men Is William F. HcCombs, chairman of the National Committee.
