WILSON MAY HAVE NEW RUNNING MATE

Move Under Way to Defeat Marshall —Morgenthau Suggests Baker, « Demanding “Stronger Man.” St. TouisV Mo., Jnne I2.—Ante-con-vention discussion centered largely today on moves and suggestions to defeat plans for the renomination of Vice President Marshall, and put a new man on the ticket with President Wilson. As the number of delegates to the democratic national convention grew hourly, greater boomdets for various favorite sons appeared on the surface to rise and fall with the tide of talk. A move to defeat Vice President Marshall for renomination took welldefined form and substance when Henry Morgenthau, who recently gave up his post-as-ambassador- to Turkey - - that he might engage in the work of re-electing President Wilson, annonuc- - ed that a “stronger man” than Marshall should be named, and brought forward Secretary of War Newton D. Baker to run with President Wilson. News that Mr. Morgenthau was booming Secretary Baker created something more than mild discussion, Tor It was pointed out that Mr. Morgenthau had been close to the administration and that it might indicate that the naming of Mr. Baker would not be unacceptable. Mr. Morgenthau hastened, however, to raake it clear, that he was urging Mr., Baker’s nomination on his own responsibility and initiative, solely with the desiring of naming the strongest possible candidate for £he office.
