Committee Seeks Infor
mation on "Invisible
Boom."
Washington, May 28 The Senati
campaign investigating committee
made further efforts today to get light
on what Chairman Kenyon described
as "this invisible McAdoo boom."
Angus W. McLean of North Caro
lina, a director of the war finance
corporation, was examined. He de
hied that he was "a sort of southern
manager" for Mr. McAdoo's cam
paisn."
He finally recounted a conversation
with Mr. McAdoo as to the North
Carolina delegation.
I told Mr. McAdoo there was an
overwhelming sentiment in my state
for him," he said. - "I told him we
were having a primary down there
.nd that his , name would go in
whether he liked it or not, but that
we would be in- an absurd situation
if we were voting for a man who
would not take the" nomination.
He said he was not a candidate,
wouldn't turn his hand' over to get
the nomination and didn't want his
friends to take any action" about it.
He did, however, say that if the nom
ination was tendered him he could not
decline.
