McAdoo Dominates Early in Democratic Convention Committees
In New York July 1, after 15 contenders, McAdoo leaders seized control of parliamentary action at the convention. Anti McAdoo figures sought to expose the outcome by pressuring delegates to vote against their instructions, hoping defections would erode his support. The morning ballot showed little change, but a late move by McAdoo allies produced a pivotal adoption, while anti-McAdoo factions planned to shift support to other hopefuls like Robinson or Smith in hopes of unseating him.
