Shipping Row Political Move
The renewal of the row in the shipping board pits William Denman against Gen. Goethals in a power struggle tied to Secretary McAdoo's plan to expand his influence and loom as a 1920 Democratic nominee. Denman, once obscure, was elevated by McAdoo over Bernard Baker and John A. Donald, sparking public controversy as the board spends hundreds of millions with little tangible result. The president hedges between pleasing McAdoo and satisfying public opinion, risking a fall between two stools.
