plans will be such as to make the com.
ing inauguration fully as attractive and
splendid as previous ceremonies.
No curtailment of the parade will be
& permitted. On the other hand, it will be
bigger and better than ever and or
such a scale as to be a great drawing
card, irrespective of other features.
Inaugural committe members today
expressed varying amounts of displeas.
ure at the turn of affairs While mons
b would speak for publication, there was
a general agreement of feeling thai
Governor Wilson should have an.
nounced himself previously.
Breaking the precedent of many
years standing. he has taken a step
which Washing;onians frankly say Ii
not pleasant. In fact. some say that
his radicalism is a mistake, even
F.. though on a social affair.
: Chairmen of subconInfttees, wit
Chairman Eustis, are up in the air
today, but they say that by Monday
morning a definite plan of procedure
will be outlined. Just what their
views are today was shrouded in more
or less mystery.
The general attitude, however, in
climbed toward elimination of both the
Inaugural bal! and the Capitol resep-
ton
The committee will work on a plan
that viii make the inauguration quite
as pleasant for the thousands of guests
- though the ball were held. Governor
Wilson'S views probably will enter in
to the plans, but as far as could be
learned this afternoon there was no at
tempt to present Washington's attitude
he hon 10 ha ha
spirit was to acquiesce completely. and
not attempt 20 alter the governors s
present view.
Chairman George z. Hamilton, of the
Legislative Committee, declined to voice
personal opinion on what the new
plans should be. but he viii ] not at
tempt to force the ball plan.
Chairman Eustis declined to make
any statement of plans for the fu-
ture. but indicated that there would
President-elect's wishes. He said
positively that the inaugural parade
plans would not be curtailed. and
that there was no relation between
the income of an inaugural ball and
tie expense of parade.
Subscribers to the guaranty fund
cannot lose more than one-fourth Of
their subscriptions, IL is estimated
today. Plans will be made in such
form. though. that there will proba-
bly,. be no shortage. visitors will not
have '-to pay the freight" for present
plans do not indicate any greater
costs than heretofore.
At inaugural headquarters this after
noon IL was said there had been no
communication with Governor Wilson.
and that probably none would be had
before the Monday morning meeting.
II any Washingtonians see the Presi-
not be with the official sanction of the
committee.
Jersey colors To Rule.
Governor Wilson has declared in ia
vor Of the New Jersey State colors-
bufY and gold-for the inaugural col
ore. These will undoubtedly figure
strongly In the decorations and iliumi-
nations now being arranged.
Col George Armes. discussing the
Wilson letter today. said:
al think Governor Wilson showed his
sense and good judgment in his request
be great expense to the Government
TO lend the ePnsion Office for such an
occasion and in addition thousands OF
pensioners who depend on checks TO pay
their bills. to a certain extent, would be
deprived and put to great Inconvenience
their pensions Under the circumstan-
ces. IL IL could be arranged, IL would be
more satisfactory IL the committee
could make arrangements for the use
Of the Union Depot, should the ball be
held. II would be less expensive and
more satisfactory.
