DagTESTO If Program Is Successful, Mc Adoo Will B? Nominated on 6th . Ballot, Probably as Early as . 1 Fourth, ..Correspondent Says, ' , By Harold D. "Jacobs s, San Francisco, June 28. -U. P.) As the Democrats met in quadren nlaJ session today, there was eveiry evidence that a group of Indepen dent delegates planned to seize the bit In their teeth ad run away wijth the convention." so far as selection of a presidential nominee was con : cerned. . ' ' ' .- ' Jf this program should be carried out successfully. William G. McAdoo, de spite his formal withdrawal from tJie race, would be nominated within six ballots. The mst optimistic McAdoo enthusiasts even predicted his nomina tion on the fourth. j LEADERSHIP IS 1.ACKIWO j. Seasoned political observers. Immune to political mirages and other phenom ena, generally agreed that the only thing which stood in the way of a Mc Adoo victory was the lack of coordlna. . tion among his supporters. His friends, however, expected to complete an ef fective organization within a few hours. . McAdoo's "irrevocable' withdrawal statement apparently has had the same effect as if he had stamped on a big ;f Ire, subduing the principal blaze, but scattering t sparks that immediately sprang Into life as a myriad of smaller blazes. . Backers of the former secre tary of the treasury hoped these- minor -blazes would soon spread sufficiently to Intermingle in a huge conflagration that would sweep the national convention Prominently identified with the' Mc Adoo movement are Samuel B.'Amidoa. national committeeman from Kansas ; Jouett Shouse. assistant secretary of the tiearury ; Dr. Burris Jenkins, publisher of the Kansas City Post ; Thomas B. Love, national committeeman from Texas; Bobert WooUey, . member of the interstate commerce commission ; Mayor George ft. Lunn of Scheneotady i Mrs. Kellogg Fairbanks, member of the ex ecutive committee of the. :lemocratlo national committee, and Mrs. Percy ; Y Pennybacker. also, a member of the ex ecutive committee.' : ! Indications today were that the "first aivlsien" of candidates on the . inlUal ballot would consist of Attorney Gen eral A" Mitchell Palmer, McAdoo and Governor James M. Cox, in the order named Palmer was expected to poll possibly X0O . votes, McAdoo around ?28?a and Cox about 200. " j COW1BD8 IK SECOD BITISIO- 4 : The "second division" apparently nriM : Governor - Edward 1 X. Edwards and Governor Alfred E . Smith, who are scheduled to develop about 100 votes each. Then.' accprdlng to present indications, would come the "field. ,uv chiding- James W. Gerard. Ambassador John W. Davis, senator uuoen , Hitchcock. Senator Robert I Owen. senator Carter Glass, Senator K. M Simmons. WUliam J. Bryan. Secretary of Agriculture E. T. Meredith. Secretary of State - Balnbrldge Colby. Homer iS. Cummtngs, Congressman Champ Clark inri Vice President Thomas K- Aiarsnau. Growth of the McAdoo boom resulted in a revival today of reports" of a pos sible .combination of Palmer - and Cox to check the movement. It was believed. however, that the McAdoo group would attempt9 to circumvent such - an effort by withholding their real-tetrength and a, seeking to force Palmer and Cox . to flxht it out. hoping for , a deadlock, in which eveat the' second choice McAdoo strength, would be turned loose with, the Idea of stampeding the .convention. FBI3I3 CLAIM. TOTES So -far as could be learned. McAdoo's friends believed . they , were certain of nearly- 00 . votes at present, with only 729 necessary for choice. This, of course conflicted with claims of rival camps, particularly those of Palmer and Cox. Former ' Congressman A Carlin, Palmer's manager, predicted his candir date would win within five ballots. While he would make no definite prediction. It was known- the Palmer people, believed they will have between , 600 and - SQO votes as early as the second ballot. On the other hand, the Cox group was f lg- ' - urins on the vote running to the seventh or eighth ballot with the result, natu rally, in their favor. - The Gerard organization, workings on the basis that its man was the nearest counterpart of McAdoo in the matter of a Bland on public Issues, was understood to have adopted the unique expedient of centering its efforts on getting McAdoo "second choice" delegates to accept Ger ard as "third choice." ' Those mentioned most often in con section with the vice presidency were Meredith, Hitchcock. Smith and -Davis. M'AdooIs Favorite In Wagers Made on Wall S tre et Area New Tork.' June- 28. (U. P.)
