WILSON IN RACE, WALL STREET HEARS.

New York, Dee. 19.—Wall street today got a tip that President Wilson may yet try for a third term. The report was circulated soon after William G. McAdoo had returned from a visit at the white house. McAdoo's sudden trip to Washington fdllowed the announcement of former Ambassador James W. Gerard’s candidacy. Its apparent purpose was to insist either that the president should frankly state if he would run again, or give his public support for the nomination to his SOn in law, Mr. McAdoo dodged all questions as to whether the president will run again and as to whether he (McAdoo) will enter the race. He told friends the president is greatly improved in health and predicted that physically and mentally he would soon be as vigorous as ever. When they asked if tms meant £hat the president would enter the race a third time, the reply came: “No one can speak for the president except the president himself." Mr. McAdoo brushel aside all the queries as to why Barney Baruch, Thomas L. Chadbourn, Nicholas F. Brady and others are pushing Ins campaign. A friend suggested: “Then we cannot nominate you for president just yet?” “Not yet,” answered Mr. McAdoo, blushingly. Friends of Mr. Gerard interpreted what little they learned from Mr. McAdoo as meaning that at just this time the president feels he will be able to take the field again as he did in I£l6. The president has until January 1 to tell the South Dakota democrats whether he. will or will not accept their tender of support. He may reveal his purpose for 1920 in* his message to them.
