Cox forces. here .with ‘» view to preventing the nomination of JW.J. McAdoo. Emissaries from Pal- imer’s’ headquarters called on E. H. | Maore, Cox's manager, George White, [one ' “of . his’ chief . lieutenants, and iporters would view an alliance, stat- iing ‘that their inquiries might be re- ‘garded’ as preliminary to later nom- ations. . g -1t was pointed out that McAdoo forces being leaderless and therefore iunable to make protective deals, would be unable to stand against a Palmer-Cox coalition. Cox’s workers relied to the overtures that they re- garded Palmer high, but did not think he could be elected president if nom- inated. As vice-presidential possibility they jntimated he might be considered. Mhere the matter rests for the pres- ent. In the Cox camp a boom was inflated for Secretary of Agriculture Meredith for vice-presidential nomin- ation.
