PRESIDENT URGED AS 1524 NOMINEE Friends Start Work to As- sure Him Leadership of Party Again. By the Associated Press. Convinced that half a dozen pirants already are making cautious overtures to test'their strength as re- publican presidential possibilities for 1924, some of the friends of President | Harding have begun to work to as- | suré him a renomination. i ‘Thus far the movement on behalf of the President has not reached the pro- portions of a closely knit organiza- tien, but it has progressed to<”the point where it promises to make it- self felt in many states befcce the coming summer is well begun. The attitude of Mr. Harding himselt toward a second term remains unan- nounced, and it is considered improba, | ble that he will make any public statement of his intentions, at least in the near future. There is quite general agreement among thase- on the inner circle of Washington poll- tics, however, that a deste for public indorsement of his stewardship will impel him to stand for re-election. New Line-up Expected. ' Tt is upon this presumption, at any rate, that those who want to see him remain in the White House for another four years are proceeding. ncluded in the group of his friends who have been in conference here are some of the men who led the successful pre-convention campaign of 1920, and some who came over to the Harding ranks from other camps after the convention. As & result. the ultimate line-up of the ing forces of 1924 s exp to resemble only in part the org: tion that fought and trium the nomination fight of thr ago. Attorney General Daugherty, who was the pre-convention manager for Mr. Harding in 1920, is expected to again take a hand in urging a re- nomination. ~But for several reasons AMr. Daugherty is not expected by his friends to be as ®ctive as he was in 1030. His health recently failed him, requiring him to remain in bed for several weeks, and al- though he has virtually recovered he eannot take the burden of travel and conference which would fall upon an active campalgn manager. In addition, his official duties in the De- partment of Justice are expected to preciude him from being long absent from Washington during the cam- paign. Several men who have long been | Prominent in party affairs have been mentioned as available for the more strenuous work of organization. Hays Urged as Chalrman, Charles D. Hilles, a former national chairman, is one of those so consid- ered, but he has made no statement thus far as to what part he would be willing to take in the onvention work ntly Mr. conferred with the President and together they visited Mr. Daugherty in his sick room. In the background of these ¢onsid- erations lies also the question of who is to manage the republican cam after the nomination has been made. The supporters of John T. Adams. the present national chalr: say they expect him to retain that post regardless of the result of the nomi- naling convention. Discussfons of the auhject here recentiy have brought to iight. however. an attempt by the friends of Will H. Hays, wha man- #ged the 1920 campaign, to reinatate him in the chairmanship. The exact strength of the Hays hoom Is yet to be onsirated, but it is receiving serious notice among the coterfe of Harding supporters, who are laying the ground work for his renomination. It {s realized that If Mr. Harding is renominated it will be for him to say whether he desires to again seek the services of the man who was at the helm when the party rolled up its record-breakink major- ity of 1920. All of these subjects seem likely to | be thrashed over very soon after Mr. Harding t Attorney Daugherty, whom the President recently has e; pressed anew his complete confidence, will be one of the guests on the Flor- | houseboat trip, concluded it is possible that Harding and at le party will proceed to Ohio, to spend a few days on home soil. will have an opportunity to see re- publican state leaders and examine the republican organization of his home state, which, last November, elected a democratic governor. It is taken for granted that a solid Ohlo delegation would be the first requisite 1o a convention line-up which would | insure a renomination. Later in the summer, Mr. Harding’s triends are predicting, the President will take a speech-making trip that will carry him to the Pacific coast and will include about twenty addre During this trip he will have the op portunity for which he frequently has expressed a desire recently, to “get better acquainted” with the people whose chosen spokesman he is. It is not intended.to give the tour the color | of a swing around the politieal circle, but when he faces hia audiences he is expected to glve an accounting of his acts in the past and outline his poli- for the future.
