AL MAY STRIKE NEW OBSTACLES IN CLEAR FIELD M’Adoo Not to Run, but His Friends Might Demand That Smith Retire, Too. BY RAY TUCKER WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—Democratic leaden today planned to take William W. McAdoo’i decision not to be a presidential candidate to heal the scars remaining from the Madison Square Garden battle of 1924. While many took the position that the Californian’s action virtually gave the nomination to Governor Smith of New York, others expressed the fear it might precipitate another conflict between the wings represented by those two antagonists. The great fear is that McAdoo’s fairly clear intimation that Smith ought to suhmerge personal feelings in the welfare of the party may provoke the Californian’s followers to demand such a renunciation by the New Yorker. Though -Smith himself might be inclined to follow such a course, his followers, who feel he has a clear field, probably never will agree to it. *May Seek New Leader is in the attitude to be asi by McAdoo’s disciples and Smith’s worshippers that the greatest danger of another conflict lies. The only advantage in McAdoo’s statement at this time is that such a controversy would occur before the convention. It is known .many of thk McAd6o group will go over to the Smith camp. These include such leaders as Daniel C. Roper, former commisioner of internal revenue; Hollins Randolph, prominent Georgia politician, and M. L. Pox, treas-urer-secretary of McAdoo’s 1924 committee. The latter recently expressed the belief in the Atlantic Monthly that Smith had the only chance of success in the election. But many others may not be willing to accept Smith. They may seek anew leader for the southern and western wings previously represented by McAdoo, and therein i lies the chance of another factional fight.

Party Parley Is Expected There is nobody of McAdoo's statue in sight. William Jennings Bryan, a great force for rallying the drys and political fundamentalists, is dead. The South is hungry for a chance at patronage. Thus the practical politicians foresee a breakup of the solid McAdoo States next teai, and an excellent chance that Smith may be given his opportunity, )f only to end once and for all the dissension on which the party floundered in 1924. & It would not be surpiislng n Democrat chieftains, as Franklin D. Roosevelt or Caffer Glass, called a conference of party leaders in the hope of charting a definite course in the light of McAdoo’s withdrawal.
