PRINCETON, N. j., March 3.--Priv-
ate citizen Woodrow Wilson, ex-presi-
dent of Princeton University; ex-
governor of New Jersey, and tomorrow
to be the first citizen of this republic,
bade final farewell to his townspeo-
pie here today. In order to make the
leavetaking as impressive as possible
all political opinions We're forgotten
and republican, democrat, prohibi-
ZIONIST and socialist fraternized.
There were honest tears of regret
on the stern features of the next pres
ident of the United States as he list
ened to the cheering and songs. For
twenty-seven of the fifty-six years OF
his life he has been resident here.
Most of the joys and many of the sor-
rows Of life have been confronted by
tions of love and affection, beginning
with Saturday nights great meeting
at which he was given a loving cup,
4 that was visible mark of the feel
ing of the townspeople for him, and
illuminating when his special train
| slowly crawled out of the station with
nearly every able-bodied man, woman
and child standing uncovered singing
f"Old Nassau made moist the eyes OF
4 the departing president-elect as he
u waved farewell from the observation
platform Of the train.
4 There was little hustle or confusion
lin the Wilson cottage today. Plans
4 for the leave-taking had been care
4 fully made. Breakfast was an exclus-
live family affair and then came the
hurried packing of the few remaining
j grips, locking of trunks and bags and
! their transfer to the waiting luggage
van.
/. AS he has done every time he has
i started out on a journey, the presi
J, dent-elect packed his own bag i'm
, mediately after breakfast. One thing
: that he handled lovingly was the lit
tile scarfpin bearing the coat-of-arms
of the United States on a shield
which he will affix to his necktie i'm
mediately after taking the oath OF OF
Ifice tomorrow and which will remair
on his person every day during his
! term. The president-elect is a trif1'
) superstitious about this. AS presiden
of Princeton he wore the coat-ofarm'
: of the university: as governor OF New
Jersey he wore the great seal of th'
state and now as president, with ;
Wonderful record of achievement be
