McAdoo Against The Field, With ftard Struggle Ahead Ballotting Starts Today CaftfenrisA Ththtap Hard la Keep Hfe Supporters Mod. Smith Followers Try to Break Uae Bp. If BtcAdoo Boom Caffapses Bark Horses Hare Chaace With Glass Leading ?? New York, June 26.?Although the halloting for nominations will not come tai Friday a number of things are developing as the delegates of the democratic natienal convention as semble which give an interesting line on what is going to happen. First of all, William Gibbs Mc Adoo and Governor A1 Smith togeth er control more than 800 of the 1JD98 delegates. The 9ocalled "dark hors es" of whom there is an abundance, depend entirely for their opportunity on a break-up of the Smith and Mc Adoo forces. But*" pre-convention strategy does not move as fast new as it will when the balloting begins and only if every leader could ap praise at its true value the promises of support he has been given would it be possible to form a definite es-^ timate of strength. To date there is a growing combi nation which has for its primary ob ject the defeat of McAdoo because, until he is eliminated 'there is lit tle chance of Smith or any of the dark horses. - So the entire field has been combed for a working coalition which win operate constantly against McAdoo in as many ballots as shall be necessary. The hand of the anti-McAdoo retees having been shown his supporters have redoubled their efforts to hold their Knee and even MeAdoo himself has been receiving delegates for the last 34 hours arguing with them in person about the need for a progres sive .candidate. MeAdoo's speech do ? aSigi New York World with an. editorial supporting A] Smith itarnisfcing more ammunition for the anti-MeAdoo com bination, for while there are a num ber of delegates who are by no means converted to the idea of nominating Smith, they have first to be convinced that MeA&u should be deaertsd. There is no doubt that MeAdoo has i lost several delegates since last Sat urday but there is also every reason to believe be has picked up several he did not have before Whether then is a nut loss or net gain is dif ficult even for bis own managers to determine <* hut this correspondent will break away after two or three ballets TWa Is to * great erfenFabSuSn wagon contention.

M s. ? ? I jftie: a a M~a Pi" - ' j ! Glass is acquiring much strength in this respect especially as many anti McAdoo men have been talking of John W. Davis so much that the West Virginian may truly be said to be a strong third. To weaken the MeAdoo votes, the anti-McAdoo scouts are whispering prase of Davis. In fact it looks now as if the opposition to MeAdoo may even try to crush him by starting the balloting for Davis early enough to bring him up close to the former secretary of the treas ury and even perhaps permitting him boom. There is a good deal of genu ine sentiment for l)avis in the ranks of the MeAdoo followers, a fact which the opponents of MeAdoo have been quick to capitalized. William Jennings Bryan is opposed to Davis on the ground that he has been an attorney for the Morgan in terests. But this as well as the oil issue have been temporarily overshad owed by the Ku Klux Kian controver sy. The forces opposed to MeAdoo insist that he has the support of the Kian and since he has not specifi cally repudiated the Kian, the oppo sition to MeAdoo is thereby gaining strength for unquestionably this con vention is anti-Ku Klux Kian and will not truckle to get its support I BRYAN IN TILT OVER ENFORCEMENT PLANK ' ___________ I New York, June 23.?A row over I prohibition enforcement broke out to Iday at a caucus of the Florida dele H (ation with William Jennings Bryan I oo one end of the argument and fb-r : mer Governor Albert W.
