Tho Vlco Presidential boom of Gov. Alfred E. Smith, chaperoned to San Fran- cisco by tho women delegates and al- ternates from New York, has grown over night Into something of Impor- tance. Gov.

Smith will find himself named as New York's favorite son early 6n tho list. Requests that Gov. Smith bo nomi- nated have como to San Francisco from all over tho United States.

MURPHY N NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, OUT OF RACE FOR VIEW OF SAN Chairman Cummings, His Spokesman, Cannot Account for Third Term Talk. M'ADOO OUT OF IT TOO. President's Influence May Have Been Deciding Factor in Withdrawal. By David Lawrence. (Special Correapondent of The Eve nlno World.) SAN FItANCISCO, Juno 23 (Copy right, 1920). Gov. Cox of Ohio has profited most by tho efforts of William G. McAdpo to eliminate himself from the list of avowod cnndldates for - the\ Democratic Presidential nomination.' That isn't saying Cox will bo nomln-- , atcd, for the situation has hardly crys tallized and tho real purposes ot Messrs. Wilson and McAdoo have not yet carried conviction with the dolo- -' gates. They can't bellcvo that Mr. Wilson wants a third term a'nd they can't believe that McAdoo doesn't want tho nomination. Yet the truth Is so simple and so obvious that delegates are reluctant to credit It. FACTS ON WHICH CONCLUSIONS MAY BE BASED. Here are some facts upon which the reader can base his own conclu- sions: 1. President Wilson talked for an hour and a half with Homer Cummings, Democratic National Chairman, at tho White House threo weeks ago and never showed tho slightest Interest In his own political future, nor did ho explain any prefcrenco as be- tween candidates. 2. Mr. Cummings Is In constant touch by wiro with tho White House and Is really the Presi- dent's main channel of communi- cation with this convention and If a stnmpcdo or movement for Wilson wero to bo started' Cum- mings would know of it. And all . tho newspaper talk of a third term Is incomprehensible tq Mr. Cum- mings. 3. Mr. McAdoo novor Intended to bo an active candidate for the nomination but his friends have always understood that he would accept If drafted by the conven- tion. All plans wero mads for that kind of anapproach to the nomination. 4. Mr. MoAdoo has been rest- ing In Southern California and spending as much tlmo us pos- - (Continued on Third Page.)

Hold, In her divorce suit agamTit'-ij'aniil.o- . Held, tho J'tlnplaU king,\ to-d- appealed to Supreme Court to reform the divorce decree awarded Mrs. Ileld, eliminating her namo from it. Mme. Georgette, as tho modtsto is better known among her socloty clientele, states in ber papers that at tho tlmo' of tho suit she was In Paris, that no papers wero served on hor and consequently aho had no oppor- tunity to defend hor reputation. In a motion before Justice Donnelly, by her attornoy, Thomas J. McCros-sl- n, Mme. Georgette claims sho was made the innocent victim of the mil- lionaire's dlvorco suit, She was named In Mrs. Hold's cross bill, in answer to tho original suit. In which Mr. Held charged his wfo with being too friendly with a captain In tho Serbian army. At the trial of tho suit, servants In the Ileld homo testified that Mme. Georgette lived thero with Mr. Ileld, while his wife was vlultlng Atlantic City In December, 1918. In reciting tho story of her ac- quaintance with tho Ilclds, Mine. Gcorgetto declares In her moving pa- pers that Mrs. Hold first was, brought to her Bhop, No. 9 West 56th Stret, in September, 1918, by a well known so- ciety woman. Mrs. Held became a fre- quent visitor and bought $28,000 worth worth of lingerie. On one visit Mrs. Held brought her husband with her and in Mme. Gear-getto- 's presenco told him ot her af- fection for the moi'.'-'ti- ' and praised her In extravagant terms, it is stated. La'.or, Mme. Gcoigotto continues, Mrs. Held sought her aid in running her house, and asked her for pointers on correct social usage. Mme. Geor- gette says sho found tho servants wearing evening gowns, and sho told Mrs, Ileld this was not proper. In- stead, sho ordered block tatfuta dresses, buttoned to tho nock. Tho servants at first rebelled nt this, and called Mme. Georgette \that French woman.\ This, she declares, was the basis ot their hostility and resulted In their testimony against her. Mme. Georgette alleges that she went to live In the Held home be- cause Mrs. Held wanted to go to At- lantic City and told her she could nut go unless she, Mme. Georgette, would consent to preside over her homo and represent hor In social mutters. Dur ing her resldcnco at tho Held home, sho declares, Mrs. Hgnry J. Topping of Qrecnwlch, Conn., Mr. Held's sister, und other inombcis of the family wero present, as well as friends of Mr and Mrs. Held, who were visitors ut various times. .
