EN- ROUTE WITH PRESIDENT
ELECT HARDING, oDEM. Texas, Nov.
s-somewhat wearied by two days OF
continuous receptions and demands for
rear platform speeches, President-eiect
Harding today, as he approached his
vacation spot at Point Isabel, ordered
the gates closed against all bht rest
and pleasure.
The journey Of the President elect
through the Middle and Southwest has
been a continuous ovation. Throngs
have gathered at every eross-road and
| city station, and although be is on a
vacation the Senator has responded to
| their welcome, leaving his break kfast
table and staying out OF his bed, to
greet those who have come to psy their
respects.
Despite the fact that he left Marion
with no intentions Of making any
speeches. he has delivered at least
dozen. Press dispatches from Paris,
which represented semi officially that
France Is willing to cooperate with the
| United States Of America were called
to the attention or the President elect,
but he refused to comment. He is ex-
tremely cautious TO avoid anything which
: may be In any manner construed as an
anticipation OF his taking office or in
reference with the present administra-
tion
i MAKES NO COMMENT
| on PARIS DISPATCHES
Shortly after the Paris dispatches
were available In the special train. the
Senator made brief speech at Marshall.
Texas. IN which he declared "Our moral
obi "a ons VIII always stand ont and
America does not need any meeting Of
I foreign powers TO tell Us what our NOral

While there was no official statement
! Il was understood on the special train
that the President-elect will seek an
l American made league, taking some fea-
/ turcs fFDm the present league as basis
| for a world fraternity and that he win
| follow ont the suggestion made In his
| speech Of Aug. 2S advocating "Gn in
ternational association for conference
/ and q wosd' eourt"
Reports that Senator Harding might
meet Mexican leaders % the border have
been Seotcbed by official announcement
that no such meeting Is contemplated.
Senator Harding today was planning
n divide bis pleasures between golf and
tarpon fishing, with half day devoted
10 each snort. Although there Is ex-
cellent hunting az Point Isabel. the Pres
idenf-elect does not plan for any hunting
himself. as he Is not q lover Of this
sport
TO PLAY GOLF AND
EIsH FOR TARPON.
Despite the fact that he has been as
busy during his trip as he WAS during
many campaign tours. both the Senator
and Mrs Harding were elated today over
their trip and their opportunity TO meet
the ueople and neither Of them passed
M the chance 70 meet any one. AT one
stop Senator Harding held a group Of
friends waiting while he pushed his way
through the throng TO buy pencil from
a cripple and to talk to him Every one
from the milkman's baby up TO the lead
ing banker has had the benefit Of the
Harding smile and the Harding hand;
shake. Southern Democrats and staunch
Republicans have all heard from the next
President that we are through with par
tisan politics and the next four years
will be for America alone.
The Harding special is due to arrive
IN Brownsville at IL 80.
Senator Harding probably Will not be
able to accept an invitation to the Hous-
ton fair
