LARGE SUMS ARE PLACED
Many Posible Candidates On
Several Tickets Fi-mre In
Street’s Betting Odds

NEW YORK, Novembr r 21.
—This is what the big bettors of
Wall Street think of the forth
coming presidential election:
1. President Coolidge is an
odds-on favorite not only for
the Republican nomination, but
nomination, and 1 to 2 on elec
tor election —1 to 3 on the
tion.
2. Ford is the only man who
is believed to have a chance of
defeating Coolidge btu he
must get the Democratic nomi
nation to do it,
3. The odds against Ford’s get
ting the Democratic nomination
are 4 to 1.
4. But if Ford is the Democrat
ic nominee, he will become the
odds-on favorite against Coolidge
at 2 to 3.
5. If, however, Ford runs on u
third ticket, Ford and Coolidge will
be at even money; with the odds
in each case .it 2 to 3 against the
field, and the Democratic nominee
running 5 to 1.
These vieWs do not necessarily re
fleet the political sentiment of Wall
Street, but they do reflect its bet
ting judgment as voiced by Jean
De Chadenedes, a Wall Street
broker who, together with his
brother Guy, have handled some of
the largest political bets made dur
ing the past ten years. >
Many uig wagers have already
been made, the largest being a bet
of $406,000 that Henry Ford will
not be the next president. Lloyds
of London has taken the long
of the bet, by issuing two policies
of $200,000 insuring his defeat;
and a big western operator who
has won millions in his time, is
covering the short end by paying
the premium of $38,000.
Other heavy wagers are under
way. And Wall Street, which be
lieves itself to be the pulse not only
of Big Business, but National Fob
ties, is beginning to perk up inter
est in the election.
“As the stock market forecasts
future business conditions,” said
De Chadenedes in an exclusive in
terview with NEA Service for the
Tnnes-Recorder, “just so does Wall
street predict the political situa
tion.

JEAN DE CHADENEDES
takes the trend <>l - future business;
neither does the betting fraternity
err in its judgment regarding poli-,
tical outcomes.
”O all sources of getting po- j
litical information, the betting ba- |
rometer is by far the most reli ible. I
For politicians and editors are in-|
fluenced by their own personal
likes, or by party loyalty, they I
may form faulty conclusions by j
constantly associating with their ;
own political kind. But not so with
the bettor. He weighs every su’-;
nation and forms his judgment I
without being influenced by any-,
thing except hard facts. And he i
backs his judgment accordingly.” I
There has been a tihgtening oil
the odds since the first money cm'
the campaign appeared in Wall
Street M.;c July. I
Andrew W. Mellon, James E I
Watson, Henry Cabot Lodge and,
Nathan L. Miller, former governor
of New York, appeared among the
leading Republicans. But they are
not among the leading 12, either
for the nomination or electio nin j
the list now.
Among the Democrats Carter:
Glass, Bainbridge Colby, Senator (
Edward T. Edwards and Josephus I
Daniels have dropped I
It is expected that the odds will
close up further as the time of the
nominating conventions draw near.
“It isn’t human nature,” says
De Chadenei|rs, “to start big bet
t’ng when the decision as to >vho
will be the respective candidates
is still very much clouded] But i
betting interest will soon start pick- I
ing up. I think that this campaign '
will probably set a record for bet-I
ting.
“A greater interest is shown on |
the possibilities for the nominations ■
than ever before. I
“Hughes, next to Coolidge, ]
seems to be the strongest Repub-,
lican possibility, with Gifford Pin
chot, Herbert Hoover and Hiram
Johnson, almost as strong. The ,
shade between them is so small that,
it isn’t reflected in their odds.
“Among the Democrats McAdoo
and Senator Samuel M. Ralston. I
whose strength seems to be increas
ing steadily, seem to have the best
chance among the regulars.
“Ford is the unknown f’.ctor.
But the odds on him are closing io
rapidly. They were about 11 1
when the $400,000 bet was made;
and now they are 4-1. Cox, Al
Smith and SSenator Underwood
are close behind.”
