NEW YORK, July 1—William G. McAdoo and Governor A1 Smith resumed maneuvers today in the great “freeze out” now being perpetrated on

The situation yields itself easily t consideration of dark horse possihili ties- McAdoo and his managers de clare they see no dark horse. “The varity of Mr. McAdoo was shown through 15 ballots,” Judg Rockwell said. ‘It can mean onl.' one thing. He will be nominated to-
day.”
In this connection it is prc«isentl> rumored that if McAdoo secures u majority in the balloting and holds this convention majority for several | ballots he may try to have the convention rules changed to permit the nomination by majority instead of by two thirds. There is no confirmation how-

They insist, however, th t Smith is the strongest man in the convention from the standpoint of popular appeal and that since there aren’t any other men as strong or stronger with the people generally, they have no choice beyond him. There is discussion of a ticket, outside these two leading camps, of John W. Davis and either Smith as a vote getter or some middlewestemer for
sectional reasons-

of Smith reigns supreme.
Anyone who has sat through a week of this quadrennial hippodrome knows how the delegate basks in the smile of the cheering galleries; how J he dots on standing on his chair and under the eyes of thousands utter something—anything—that will start a cheer from those 12,000 throats. There are many delegates who would like to make the announcement of a vote that would rock those galleries and perhaps start a swing to one candidate or the other. This state of mind favors Smith because breaks in the unit rule are inevitable and will be taken by the galleries as the beginning of th eend of McAdoo; the start of ride to victory for Smith.
