| IFrom STAFF Correspondent Of The rribune.l
Cornish, n. H., July s.-President VIII
son broke into his short vacation this al
! ternoon to catch up with what has been
! happening in Washington and the world
at large He gave up his customary
automobile ride and, with the aid of the
newspapers, the telephone and the teie-
graph he soon familiarized himself with
what has been going on at the capital
since he left.
The President had no comment TO make
on the testimony Of Mr.. Lauterbach I'm
the lobby investigation yesterday, for he
has made it quite plain that he won't dis
cuss the developments there until he re-
turns. II was apparent, however, that he
considered none of the developments OF
sufficient Importance to justify his going
back to Washington at once.
! II Is understood that the chief interest
of the President was in the fate Of the
! Underwood tariff bill in the Senate, and
now that the passage Of the measure by
that body has been practically assured by
the caucus action, he feels free TO extend
mis- vacation until Sunday. The position
Of the tariff bill in the Senate was the
one thing which, it is said, was the de-
Gliding factor I'm the extension Of the Pres
ident's stay, and while II Is generally
| believed that he will not be In Washing
ton again until Monday morning, the only
| definite news from Harlakenden this
evening was that the President would not
return tomorrow.
On the Dartmouth Links.
| A golf game at Hanover was the most
exciting thing in the Presidents life this
morning. In company with DR.. Woodson
Mr. Wilson motored to the town maze
! famous by Dartmouth College, and made
round Of eighteen holes on the faculty
golf links with Dr. Woodson as his oppo-
nent. Half way around the course the
President was trailed by a little six-year-
old girl carrying a big American flag.
The President smiled at the child wno
did not get near enough 20 talk, how
ever, because Of the two Secret Service
men who were guarding the President
! Professor Cox, of Dartmouth, had In
vited the President over. and assured him
that he could play inconspicuously there
as the college links were deserted TINS
time Of year. This Mr.. Wilson found
literally true as even the caddles were
absent and the Secret Service men alter
mated in carrying the sticks around.
| The President climbed the hills with
vigorous stride. and the weather was 50
exhilarating that he made some good
drives and played some OF the holes OF the
difficult course IN bogie. on two greens
nj frnn
the edge OF the turf, and party OF Co
eds" from tie Dartmouth Summer Scnoo'
who happened to be watching clapped
their hands in applause.
That's fine" they chorused.
II don't always do a. well as that
laughed the President as he BEGAN steep
ascent to another teeing ground.
Pleased with HarIakendsn.
1t rained for a short time to-day. as u
has done each day since the President
arrival but this apparently has had little
effect on the enthusiasm of Mr.. wilson
and his family for their summer home
To say that they are delighted with II is
| mild. According 10 reports from mar
| lakepden. they are charmed with the place
and its surroundings, for the weather
since Sunday has been as cool as an
autumn day. The Presidents family 1t is
said intends to stay here until late in oc-
tober. possibly until November l.
The townspeople and neighbors OF the
President are anxious to meet Mr. Wilson
before he goes back to Washington, ana
Frank II. CLARK. chairman OF the windsor
Democratic club. is going to try to see
the President tomorrow TO arrange for
public reception before he goes back.
There are not very many Democrats here
abouts. but Mr.. Clark is one OF the most
enthusiastic of them.
Frank A. Kennedy, of Boston, VINO mas
fine private golf links near the Presi-
dents home, sent an invitation TO Mr.
Wilson to-day to test the links. IL Is ex-
pected that the President will go there TO-
morrow morning.
