PLANS KEPT SECRET.
President and Bride Will Not Go to
Pacific Coast, However.

WASHINGTON. Oct H. - President
Wilson and Mrs. Norman Gait today began
making preliminary arrangements for their
wedding. The President and Mrs. Gait are
not discussing their plans except with
friends and relatives. The presidential
yacht Mayfower may be used. Reports
that the couple might go to the San Diego
or San Francisco exposition apparently
were dispelled today when the President,
replying to an invitation of school children
in San Diego asking him to visit the expo
sition, wrote that he sees no possibility of
visiting the Pacific coast at present. He
went on a short shopping trip today and
bought a travelling case.
