FOUR NAMES PROMINENT AS DELEGATES ARRIVE McAdoo, Palmer, Marshall and Cox Mentioned as Most Likely Winners Leaders Uncertain How to Turn. By GEORGE R. HOLMES. Intarnatldnal Nwh Service Staff ('orrf- aiMo4nt. , San Francisco, . June 23. Unless if-mething is forthcoming from the White House which will change plans now in the making, it is certain that n6 less than 15 names will be : presented to the democratic conven tion here next week as possible re- cypients tor nomination honors. Aside from the name of Woodrow Wilson, four names staad out pre eminently today as the vanguard of the delegates began to arrive. These are William G. McAdoo, A. Mitchell , Palmer, Vice President- Thomas R. Marshall and Gov. James E. Cox of Ohio. Tin; continued silence from the White House on the question of a third term or on any particular can didate is creating a situation akin to that existing in Chicago right-tip un till the Saturday upon which Sena tor Harding was nominated. The delegates .and political mentors al ready here are uncertain which way to turn for guidance or a fight. Feel He Will Talk. Thcreis a distinct feeling among arrivals that the silence, from the White House is soon to be broken that the president will in a few days cither nominate or eliminate him self or else he will throw the tre mendous weight of his support be hind 'some one cf the IS men in the striving. . " ' .National Chairman Homer Cuiu mings is in daily coiniftunication 'with the White House. HeNjas in stant access to Pennsylvania avenue both by private telephone wire and by telegraph. He .has talked this week with Secretary Joseph Tu multy and with others of the presi dent's immediate family.' j The results of these conversations have been Vcarefullv withheld, If NOMINATION ,,,Ufi:esidefit Wilson, has issued a timers they have not been relayeu here to any of his -numerous lieu tenants on the ground. It is, how ever inconceivable to many of the delegates and politicians here that President Wilson, the acknowledged JcadeV of the party, will allow nearly l.OOOl-uninstrticted delegates o go into free and open convention with out some vord as to how the White HouseXstands. HereVagain, it was pointed out to day, tbA situation is siiiiilar to that existing in Chicago. Everybody is waiting; nitfvously foreword from "a sick man"Vvho lays aKthe end of a private liner.iany miles away from the scene of f ction. RumoVs Are Many. - The uncertainty of the situation has resultednn gfring San Francisco a flock of rumors- which completely overshadows the Chicago crop. Pne of these current today was t&at the president has decided to pay a long standing debt and throw the weight of administration support behind' Champ Clark, as a recom pense for Baltimore in 1912. The former speaker heretofore had been considered an outsider in this race: The rumor is given sonie credence by the presence here of Benncrt E. Clark, the Missourian's so:i. . . ' Another report current in the lob hies, today was that both the Mc Adoo and Palmer candidacies would benefit by a White House declara tion at the 11th hour.. So far. Homer Cummings is the only man in San Kr.mcisco oositivclv known "to have conversed with the Xhftc House and on all matters affecting the pres ident he is mum. . Fight Looms Imminent. The' proposed tight between the administration and anti-administration forces is looming stronger as convention time approaches. It is expected to crystallize with the ar rival of the New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts and Ohio delegations and their big fol lowing. ,'Hints ot a compromise already are in, the air here. The one most often heard is a situation which would allow the president to write the platform with complete en dorsement of the league of nations and the "antis" to nominate the can didate unhampered by White House dictation. , 1 Thirteenth Session of the Baptist Conference Opens Buffalo, N.

Speak ingr publicly for the first time sinec the republican convention in Chi cago, United States Senator Hiram W. Johnson today told a tew hun dred of his hme town people that he was not downcast over the re sult. Senator Johnson passed through Sacramento en route to his home in San Francisco. Overcome by the warmth of the reception and the cries of "speech," Johnson stepped on to the platform of his Pullman and told the crowd how glad he was that California and particularly his home city, gave him such a tremendous vote at the presidential primary election. "Don'timagine I'm cast down by the result of the convention," said Senator Johnson. "I'm happier than ever bcfore.I started the cam paign on a shoestring and when I got through I had the people of the United btates with me, even though I could not win a majority of the delegates. "I went into the fight in one fash ion and came out in the same fash ion. I made no compromises but fought to the last ditch "It doesn't make any difference if a few politicians sitting in the Blackstone hotel in Chicago said 'the people be damned,' for the time is coming when the people will come into their own. "The future will find me as good natured and as full of fight as ever, and determined that in .tinie to come the people shall rule, instead of a few men and international bankers sitting in New York. Politics is behind me for the time being. I won't discuss or deal with them until I have had a little enjoyment in dear old California." Grover Johnson, the senator s aged father, was the first to gret himwhen he stepped from the train. Gould Divorce Case Up in First Chamber Of Courts of France - ', Paris,' June 23.

Murphy, leader of Tammany hall, and five others on charges of conspiracy to -defraud the United States by falsifying in come tax returns and attempted in timidation of Louis N. Hartog, a wealthy manufacturer, N through criminal prosecution, was announced here today. The indictments, which were returned secretly' byMhe extra ordinary grand jury yesterday, came as a great surprise. Murphy is now on his way to the democratic national" convention at San Fran cisco. Others indicted with Murphy were Assistant District Attorney James E. Smith, on of the central figures in the "vice war" between the dis trict attorney's office and the police department; John A. McCarthy, for mer business partner of John Mur phy, .brother of the Tammany rail leader; Arthur J. Baldwin, a lawyer: Ernest B, Walden, vice president of the Corn Products company and the Corn .Products company itself. Bail for each defendant was fixed at $1,000. Charged Against Murphy. Murphy is charged with trying to intimidate Hartog into settling a $10,000,000 damage suit brought against the Tammany leader after the latter is' alleged to have with drawn promised financial support in a glucose; product firm in which Hartog wa interested. The indict ment alleges that Murphy threatened to accuse Hartog of arson, to ex pose to his wife alleged secret" re lations with another woman, send him to jail for' offenses he did not commit arid ruin his business. Hartog, the indictment sets forth. procured a $7,000,00.0 'order for his product from, the- British- govern ment during, the war. He found dif ficulty in acquiring the necessary amount of glucose to complete the order. He then enlisted the aid of Murphy, through whose ' influence, the indictment recites, the needed ingredients were obtained from the Corn Products compan-. Disagree- Over Business. Hartog . and Murphy later dis and agreed over business matters Murphy sued Hartog to recover $125,000 invested in the manufactur er's company. Then Hartog sued Murphy, the Lornx Products com pany and Baldwin to recover $40, 000,000 profit he said he had lost through withdrawal ot v Murphy s pledged support, asserting he no longer could get glucose from the Corn Products company.. Hartog was summoned to Assist ant District Attorney Smith's office while these court actions were pend ing. Hartog alleges Smith sum moned him to fores him to pay Mur phy his $125,000, but Smith claims he issued the summons for Hartog solelv in the interest of prosecution of sugar profiteers. Hartog's brother was fined $5,000 in tederad court tor sugar -profiteering, but Smith gave Hartoor himself a clean bill. Estimated Big Profits. The indictment sets forth that the agreement between Murphy and Hartoe shows an increase from $10,000 to $1,000,000 in the capital stock of Hartog's firm, the North Kensington Refining company. When Murphy and Hartog, it is al leged, became jointly interested m the business in April, 1918, profits of the business subject to war tax were estimated at $1, 000,000 a year. The indictment charges that on April 5, 1918, in order that Murphy should obtain a larger income and a quick return on his investment, James E. Smith and others. unlaw fully and corruptly combined to de fraud the government of moneys due it bv filing with the coleetor of international revenue, misleading and false entries as to- the records of the business. . The. name of James J. Hines, democratic leader in the eleventh assembly district, New York, was among the witnesses listed in the back of the indictment. June 28 was set as the date for pleading.

Bryan, in an article in his newspaper, the Commoner, published here, declares that former Secretary of the Treas ury William G. McAdoo is handi capped as a candidate "by his close relationship with the president," while President Wilson himself, he says, "need not be considered." ' Asserting that Mr. McAdoo is also handicapped by "his silence on the peace treaty,"" Mr. Bryan declares Mr. McAdoo is unable to call to his support "those, to whom the presi dent's candidacy" appealed with spe cial force" and that he would "fur nish an easy mark for all the presi dent's enemies." The article says, however, that Mr. McAdoo has con siderable strength among wage earn ers. Wilson and Hoover Out. Referring to President Wilson, Mr. Bryan says that "while vague hints and suggestions have been thrown out occasionally, n one claiming to speak' for the president or near enough to him to be assunjed to express his wishes has announced his candidacy." Herbert Hoover is eliminated from the list of candidates whom Mr. Bryan considers "available," while Senator Owen of Oklahoma and Secretary of Agriculture Mere dith are described as being "among the few available men thus far men tioned."

"Governor Cox's friends," the ar ticle 'declares, v'will urge him as a compromise between the wets of the Edwards type, and the bone drys."' Vice President Marshall is accused of making "a feeble bid for the wet vote." "Judge Gerard's candidacy has South Dakota's support and he has many personal friends among other delegates," Mr. Bryan says. "Will Fight Profiteers. Prediction was also made that the democratic irational convention at San Francisco will witness fights "over'the peace treaty, the profiteer and the liquor issue, in the article. The chances are in favor of rati fication of the treaty with reser vations, "and against the profiteer and the saloon." Mr. Bryan declares.
