McCombs May Object White House Confab Today
Washington reports say William F. McCombs, Democratic National Committee chairman, will confer with President Wilson to discuss the party’s political situation and his leadership. A move to install Joseph Tumulty as head of the national machine is rumored, with McCombs resisting removal and possibly opposing an ambassadorial post to France. The administration aims to reorganize the party for 1916 while Tumulty handles policy. McCombs may still be persuaded to accept diplomacy, despite declining earlier.
