for an endorsement of Senator Bob-

the July conference at Cleveland to
run as an independent candidate.
The Senator blocked all thought
of direct endorsement by this con-
vention last night when he sent word
through John F. Sinclair of Minne-

action in his behalf by the new party.
Word or this was passed around the
convention but was not announced
openly. 7
Foster told the convention that he
and his tollowefis had given up their
own idea or organisation in order to
xii-ornate harmony and prevent a split
in the convention.
“We gave up our plan to promote
unanimity here." said Foster. "but I
want to assure those who favored it
that we did not yield a single princi-

Tilifi‘lstnféfizil‘;
He Says —— Protect.

NEW YORK. June 19.———William
G. McAdoo came here yesterday to
take personal charge of his campaign
for the presidency.
And if crowds and cheers and
bands and daunting banners and all
the other things that go to make up
receptions for White House aspir-
ants mean anything, Mr. McAdoo has
reason for‘thc grin.
Beginning at. \Vashinglon there
were good sized Crowds to meet him
at every train slop along the Baltl~
more 8: Ohio. until some 2.500 peo-
ple descended on him in the Penn-
sylvania Station and yelled almost
as enthusiastically as though be ac-
tually had obtained the nomination.
In an interview with reporters the
candidate handed out his platform
and announced that it was "imma-
terial to me" whether the two-thirds
rule is imposed at the coming con-
vention or not.
Throughout the day Mr. McAdoo
had repeatedly assured those who
sought him that he was going to
land the nomination anyway-and
the election.
The arrival of a candidate all the
Way from Los Angeios was a sort of
a prologue to the big show to be
staged next \vcck, and New York
liked it.
In the platform which appeared in
the formal statement which Mr. Mc-
Adoo handed out shortly after his
arrival.the following appeared as his
program:
"International co-operatlon for the
p e of abolishing war and thus
maintaining peace; cutting down or
elimination .of excessive military and
naval armaments and the restoration
of worldpwlde economic -.‘improve-
ntént: broadening the base of pros-
