WASHINGTON, d. c.. Saturday.-An-
nouncement that the Woods Hole plan
for the Presidents summer had been
abandoned "raised In the wicked a
smile" For there was a sceptical mi
nority here that all along expressed
doubt as to his going to Woods Hole
arguing that II he really was going
he never would allow the statement to
20 uncontradicted. One could only
have accepted an announcement OF
President Wilson's summer plans two
months ahead Of time as likely to be
accurate on the theory that he was
running true to form In doing the un-
expected. So the doubters simply
smiled "I told you sol" when word
came that the summer White House
would not be at Woods Hole after all.
Also there be those who are inclined
TO doubt the announcement that tho
President and Mrs, Wilson and DR..
Cary T. Grayson and Miss Margaret
Wilson were motoring for several
hours Sunday afternoon. The fact
that for perhaps fortnight the Presi-
dent had not been out motoring had
started whole flock of rumors-re-
lapses, STROKES" &c. 1t was desirable
10 quiet those rumors, and experience
had not taught the public to place i'm
plIclt confidence in the vague official
statements as to the Presidents health.
But when every newspaper in TOWN.
and out-caTTied statement that he
had been out for several hours on
Sunday, driving down on the Speed
way and out in Potomac Park, and
that he was looking as we'll as pos
sible-why, of course, that altered the
situation.
Butch, we'll, don't know. But I
cannot find living person who saw
him out Sunday afternoon. There are
persons who saw the White House car
with three women; no, not Mrs,
Wilson," and again with no one in
II but Miss Margaret Wilson" But
the most diligent inquiry has failed to
produce any one who saw the Presi-
dent. OF course there are half dozen
White House cars-and Miss Wilson
NAV have had one and some Of the
Bollings may have had another, with
out its necessarily meaning that the
President had to stay at home-but
one would like to meet some one who
saw him.
DR.. Grayson FavOrs New England.
or course, there is considerable spec
ulation as to where the summer White
House will be II not at Woods Hole
II is generally reported that Dr. Gray
son favors New England, and that 1t
IS considered desirable to reproduce as
closely as possible the physical condi- |
tons Of the White House. All sorts
OF New England resorts have been sug-
gested, and even New York and the
Jersey coast. White Sulphur and some
of the mountain resorts down this way
also are making q strong bid. But the
current gossip among those who are
supposed to know Is that the place most |
likely to be selected is Mr.. and Mrs. |
Raymond Bakers Lenox villa. She and |
her two boys are out on the Pacific |
coast visiting Mr.. Bakers family-have |
been all winter. Mr.. Baker returned |
recently, announcing that Mrs, Baker |
and her two boys would stay there all
summer.
Meanwhile. there seems to be no |
doubt whatever that the President |
actually had his first Cabinet meeting
I'm many months. but up in his study, |
not down In the Cabinet room. And |
there were three new Cabinet members |
attending this meeting for the first |
time-the Secretary Of State, the Secre-
tary of the Interior and the Secretary |
Of Agriculture, and a Secretary of the |
Treasury who had previously sat in as
Secretary of Agriculture. The Vice |
President who has been wont to sit with
the Cabinet during this Administration
mot by virtue Of his Office but at the
Presidents requcst). was not present
He and Mrs. Marshall have been out
West ever since little Morrison Mar
shalrs death, and although headed this
way, were not due until tonight.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bainbridge Colby, how
ever, have come to town. Mrs. Colby
arrived last Tuesday and took possession
OF the Harry Campbell Graef house, and
che was expecting her daughters 10 join
her by the end OF the week. They un-
dcubtedly will do as much lining ont
