Egan beyond doubt of his right to tho

share he will take in the reception that
is to be accorded Dr. Cook upon his re
turn to America. Within ten days the
president Will depart on his tour OF

in the east until november. There was
a suggestion here today, however. that
some sort of national welcome might
be rendered DIR. Cook in washington
during the coming winter in which the
president would be glad to participate.
