Wilson Silent on Bill

From Tho Tribune's Washington Bitrecu
WASHINGTON, Juno 13.-President
Wilson has given no intimation that
he has signed the water power bill,
providing for system of leasing
power sites on navigable streams, it
was said at the White House tonight.
1t had been expected the President
might take advantage Of a ruling by
Attorney General Palmer that the Ex-
ecutive has ten days in which to sign
bills whether Congress remained in
session or not. Previous practice had
been to consider bills remaining un-
signed when Congress adjourned as
having been killed by pocket veto"
There is possibility the President
has signed the water power bill, how
ever, and is deferring an announ cement
of the fact. The ten-day limit for
signing expired Friday and the meas
ure must have been signed before then
to become a law, evenr under the in
terpretation of the Attorney General
Other important measures affected
by the decision of Palmer were resolu-
tions providing for repeal of wartime
legislation and for creation of a Joint
commission to negotiate with Canada
about lifting wood pulp embargoes

CHICAGO, June 13-"Oh, can't
tell you what felt when the PennsyI-
vania delegation voted yesterday after
noon," said Mrs. Warren Harding last
night at her room, in the La Sale
Hotel, just before she and the Sena-
tor left for Washington. There was
little catch in her voice which was dt =
cidedly infectious as she added:
"My heart sort of turned over or
something. I can't express it. No,
I'm not tired, although I didn't sleep
q wink last night. When the con-
ferences were over | tried to rest, but
it was useless.
"When the delegates came in th,s
morning some of them who knew where
I was sitting held up their hands to
signal to me. I thought I was pre-
pared for what was coming. You see,
it had been decided for the votes to
come in few at time. When the
climax came, though, l was not pre-
pared. l had not known what it was
going to mean after all

Penrose Improves After
Strain of Convention
Receives Many CongratuIatory
Messages ON the Nomination
of Senator Harding
Special Dispatch to The T,Ibun

PHILADELPHIA, June Ex-senator
Boies Penrose is recovering rapidly.
From a physical standpoint, to day was
the best day he has spent since many
weeks before the convention.
Free from the worry and severe
strain OF keeping in constant touch
from his sickroom with the Republican
convention in Chicago, the "old guard"
leader received numerous kilograms re
garding the nomination of Senator
Harding and Governor Coolidge.
While Leighton c. Taylor, secretary
to Mr.. Penrose, refused to discuss the
nature of the telegrams, the belief was
expressed that they were principally
oongratulatory in character. 1t is
known Senator Harding was the origi-
nal choice of Mr.. Penrose. He was
silent concerning the nomination of
Governor Coolidge.
Further denial was made of the
rumors circulated Saturday that Sena-
tor Penrose had suffered relapse 1t

Senator William NJ. Calder, ex-Sen-
ator Elon r. Brown, Of Watertowr;
George W. Aldridgc, and James L.
Hotchkiss, Of Rochester. and Thomas
R. Proctor, Of Utica, were among the
New York delegates still in town to-
day.
In commenting on the work of the con-
vention, former Senator Brown, who
had much TO do with the large vote in
the New York delegation that went to
Governor Coolidge, had this to say:
81 would have preferred Coolidge,
but Senator Harding is a good nominee
and there is no doubt whatever about
his success in our state next Novem-
ber. Parties are usually beaten because
of widespread aversion to their con-
troll. Widespread aversion to the Will
son Administration exists to-day and
will be the principal thing contributing
to the defeat Of the Democrats. The
people as whole are exceedingly tired
of the Wilson Administration.
Candidate Not Vulnerable
II voted for Wood on three ballots
and / voted for Coolidge Now that
Harding is nominated l believe that
the Republicans viii accept his nom
ination as q wise one. If Wood or
Lowden had been nominated the Demo
Gratis would havo had US on The de-
fensive more or less on the charge of
too lavish use of money in the pri-
maries. They cannot use that issue
against Harding. Again, if Wood or
Lowden had won, on the announcement
of every important appointment. the
opposition would have pointed to it as
a proof that the President was reward
ing his campaign supporters. This
cannot be said against Harding. as the
nomination went to him without ex-
penditure by him or his friends of any
considerable sum-"
Mr.. Brown said that it was his
understanding, after talking with the
state leaders, that the state unofficial
convention viii recommend a state
ticket.
William Barnes, the Albany leader,
said Harding would win without doubt.
The issue practically would be. Turn
the rascals OUT said Mr.. Barnes.

tor Calder. Il look 70 see him carry

The interview with her last night

events to come will be an important
asset in her husbands campaign.

very important" Mrs. Harding con-
tnued, "Shc must help him and be

Flowers and kilograms Galore
The room where Mrs Harding re-

piles Of kilograms. She herself wore
a bunch of roses.
Under all the strain Of the last few
convention days, to say nothing of the
weeks before, Mrs. Harding stood up
wonderfully. Last night she was in

Suddenly a little group OF women

Coolidge, Paying $32
Rent, Fears Raise

BOSTON, June 13.-Governor
Calvin Coolidge, Republican Vice
Presidential nominee, when he
was greeted by newspaper men
this morning, made a whimsical
complaint of a statement pub
lished in local paper that he
paid $35 a month rent for his
half house in Northampton,
whereas he actually pays S32. He
said that if the landlord should
happen to see the story the rent
might be raised to correspond,
and this, the Governor declared,
he did not want to happen.
