WASHI.VOTO.V. Dec. 6 The ar
rival hero today of Alva II. McDon
ald to aid In promoting, tho deal to
havo Mrs. Jako Hamon named as
the now republican national commit
teeman from Oklahoma was the first
development along that lino hero.
McDonald left Oklahoma tho day
before Hamon was shot nnd was In
New York when he died, ami stated
on his arrival heru that he was mere
ly on his way home.
Ho called on Senator-elect Ilarrold
and solicited his support for Mrs.
Hamon. Tho senator very emphat
ically declined to glvo It.
McDonald put In tho day trying
to arrange a meeting with Senator
Harding through Harry Daughorty
to Induce him if possible to Indicate
a dcslro to seo Mrs. Hainan selected.
At a late hour tonight tho result
of his efforts were, still In doubt,
but In view of the widespread public
ity given tho Hamon n(falr any state
ment or personal desires purporting
to eminato from tho piosldonl-olect
can be accepted with considerable
i enervation.
Tight on .llin Harris.
Telegrams received from Okla
homa Indicate that tho Hamon fol
lowing are directing their flro chiefly
against Jim Harris for committee
man rather than against Harreld
whoso selection cannot he placed on
tho grounds of him being a candi
date, but rather us tho compromlso
choice between nil factions, and
against which no logical argument
can bo brought except by thoso who
havo a purely selfish or factional
Interest to sorvo. For no matter
who Is commlttpr-mnn during tho
next nix years for Oklahoma, Har
reld's own position Is such that his
volco In tho really vital affairs will
bo supreme.
Heal Campaign for Widow.
Thcro Is no longer any doubt, how
ever, that h campaign of formidable
proportions, backed by ample fund
from somo ourcc. Is under full
swing and that every string familiar
to seasoned political manipulators
Is being pulled to put Mrs. Hamon
over. 'Already at least two nnd
possibly three Oklahoma politicians
nro claiming that In the event of her
selection they will bo the power be
hind Him throne, and If thoy enn keep
from fulling out among themselves
It Is not unlikely that I his will bo
true.
Left to Oklahoma politicians
nlnne thprn Is no nonrehenslon that1
they would not bo nblo to amicably
agree, among themselves as to who
should bn tho committeeman, hut
theso outside Influences so Insidious
ly nt work and for such unknown
purposes may bring on complications
that will bo harmful In a very far
reaching manner.
Confers Willi Knnchrrty.
Ixitn tonight McDonald hunted tip
newspaper men representing Okla
homa newspapers to r1v them an
Item to send to Oklahoma, saying
that ho nnd been in coherence with
Harry M- Daughorty, Henntnr Hard
ing's pro-convention manager 'Mc
donald asked that ho ho quoted In
Oklahoma newspapers oh saying
that ho predicted thu selection of
Mrs- Hamon, following his tjilk with
Daughorty.
McDonald nlso predicted that tho
majority of tho state committeeman
In Oklahoma aro now ready to voto
for Mrs. Hamon. He seemed nnxldiis
that tho Impression bo created In
Oklahoma that Mr. Harding him
seir,' Is ror Mrs, Hamon.
