We report the results of a search for charmonium-like state produced in process gamma --> omega J/psi 3.9-4.2 GeV/c^2 mass region. observe significant enhancement, which is well-described by resonant shape with M = (3915 +/- 3 2) MeV/c^2 and total width Gamma (17 10 3) MeV. This enhancement may be related to one or more three states so far reported 3.90-3.95
