While being taken to exclude the turkey trot," the grizzly bear" the bunny hug" and similar dances from the inaugural ball, Presi dent-elect Wilson smplfied the problem by setting aside all precedent and excluding the in augural ball itself There is in consequence. dis satisfaction and deep disappointment in Washington which is voiced in part by the Washington Star:
 Washington sincerely regrets that President elect Wilson is willing permit himself to be inaugurated in accordance with the traditions and after the fashion his predecessors. The great popular reception called the inaugural ball is to thousands the crowning function of welcome and honor to the incoming president the part of the people. The new president on this occasion shows himself in a short promenade through the great hall and from the balcony overlooking the hall to nine thousand Americans He receives intimately the balcony the greetings of the visit ing governors of states, the diplomatic representa- tives of foreign nations the high judicial legislative and executive officials of the United States and the inaugural committee, representing Washington. The reception is not given by him by the United States him. and the hosts the individual Americans who have the honor this occasion to look upon him and the other great of the na- tion. With many of these hosts the memory of this historic occasion is unforgettabe and patriotism fostering souvenir"
 The Star further assumes that the president believes that the inaugural ball is offensive
