Withdrawal
Yefe Nomination .May Be Thrust
on McAdoo, Who Is Hoover 'of
Hour, Says Lawrence; Bryan
Looms Up Like Hiram Johnson.
By David Lawrence "".
(Copyright. 120)
San Francisco, June 23. Gover
nor Cox of Ohio baa profited most
by the f fort of William Gibbs Mc
Adoo to eliminate himself from the
list' of, avowed candidates for' the
Democratic presidential 'nomination.
That ijsn't saying Cox will be nomi
nated, for the situation has hardly
crystallised ' and the- real purposes
of Messrs. Wilson and McAdoo have
, notr yet carried conviction with the
delegates. They can't ; believe : that
Mr. Wilson wants A third term and
they can't believe Mr, McAdoo
'doesn't want the nomination.
Yet the truth is eo simple and so ob
vious that, delegates are reluctant to
credit ( it. Here are some facts upon
which the reader can base his own con
clusions : . w';-
1. President Wilson talked for one
hour and a half with Homer Cummins,
Democratic, national chairman, at the
White House three weeks ago and never
showed, the slightest interest in his own
political future, nor did he express any
preference as between candidates. .
8. Mr. Cummings Is in constant touch
by wire with the White House and i
realTy the president's main channel of
communication with this convention and
if a stampede or movement for Wilson
were to be started, - Cummings would
know of It and all the newspaper taik
of a third term for Mr. Wilson is in
rcomprehenslble to Mr. Cummings.
I. Mr. McAdoo never intended to be
an active candidate for -the nomination
but his friends have always understood
that he would accept if drafted by the
national convention. All plans were made

they did. I am determined in the fights

Moore Confesses
That He Killed

Exonerates Pal
Changing his original confession
in the part he played in the murder
of Harry Dubinsky, for-hire car
driver who was beaten to death and
thrown Into the . Willamette . river
at Oregon City -10 days ago, George
Moore has admitted to Deputy Dis
tricts Attdrney Bernard that he ; It
waa who - had wielded - the weapon.'
and not Russell Brake, his compan
ion. Bernard" admitted today that the con
fession had been- made, but refused to
discuss the situation further, announc
ing that the statement was-taken by
him for District Attorney Gilbert Hedges
of . Clackamas county and . would' be
turned over to Hedges. & -
-L Since the arrest of himself and Brake
a few days ago,. Moore has been in the
Multnomah county jail, where he has
been in association with other prisoners.
. District Attorney Evans believes the
other prisoners, many hardened crimi
nals, have been working on Moore, twit
ting him for making the original, confes
sion which laid the . main blame upon
Brake. This constant nagging may have
had something to do with' breaking down
the lad. Evans declares. ' - . .
h Outside of admitting that Moore now
practically clears Brake of active part in
the crime, Bernard made no statement
about the case. It is understood that
Hedges will place the new confession
before the Clackamas county grand Jury.

since the slight quake, which was so
slight as to do no additional damage.
The temblor occurred about . 4 o'clock
this morning, and was inconsequential.
The Inglewood water supply situation,
which threatened a famine, has been
met and new mains are being laid
where the temblor had broken connec

here, it is impossible - to authenticate
these reports. - In - Inglewood a large

removed from the disturbed center. Men,
deputized : by the town marshal, stood

for fires. No fires occurred., . - , )
