capitol yesterday to the effect that ac-
cording TO a precedent by which sons Of
former presidents are made assistant
malphals of an Inauguration procession,
an invitation was being withheld from
Major Russell B. Harrison because it was
feared he would reject the offer. II was

dismissal from the army was due to the
attitude of ex-Presldent Harrison on the
Porto Rlcan question.
