The strength of the former secretary of the treasury in this convention is of the crusading kind that won for-Wilson at Baltimore in 1912. His supporters , will stick up for the existence of an-anti-combination that might better be de scribed as a desire rather than 'an actu ality, : One of the so-called organization bosses from a Midwestern state is com monly reported to be a part; of the co alition to defeat McAdoo.: Today he was In conference: with a McAdoo manager and practically promised support to Mc Adoo after a few early ballots. .
