EASTERN VISIT
ENJOYING TRIP
Bids Adieu To Gay Atlantic City
and Sails for Gayer Gotham"
Early Today

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 12.-An
early morning game of golf today was
the closing event in President Hard
ing's seashore vacation. After Il
round OF the Sea View Club links the
President planned to motor to New
York for an evening at a theater and
to board the presidential yacht May
flower for cruise enroute to Wash
ington. With a long automobile trip
before him the president arose early
today to say goodbye to Atlantic City.
Motoring to the golf club for a fore
some with Henry P Fletcher, under
secretary of state; United States Sen
ator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey,
and George Christian, secretary to the
president, the executive was to lunch
at the golf club and to leave imme-
diately for New York. Dinner was
planned in New York hotel and la
ter the president and Mrs. Harding
were to attend popular Broadway
musical comedy boarding the May
flower after the theater.
The president had not determined
today the extent of his yachting
cruise. 1t was believed possible that,
leaving New York harbor Tuesday
morning he would return to Washing
ton but stop on the coast was among
the possibilities. If he should sail
direct to Washington he would arrive
there Thursday morning.
The president and Mrs. Harding to-
day expressed their pleasure over
their visit here which. it was said, had
greatly refreshed the executive. He
was said to be pleased over the re-
ception given him since his arrival
Saturday night, especially in his stroll
Sunday afternoon on the board walk
and his reception of several hundred
former service men of the Fifth Di-
vision, A. E. F.
After returning from church Sun
day morning the president, addressing
the war veterans, expressed the hope
for their aid in peace as well as the
war endeavors of the nation. He also
said the United States had sustained
the molare of the allies in war but
disclaimed that its forces had won the
war.

ROOT REJECTS
JUDCESHIP ON
NATIONS COURT
Tells League He Is Too c. CD ] TO
Serve-Two Other Ameri-
cans Being Considered

Geneva, Sept. 12.-Elihu Root has
definitely declined to be considered
for election as judge of the Interna-
tional Court Of Justice. In a cable
gram to Manley 0. Hudson. who is
here in the capacity of an American
observer, the iurist says he will be
unable to serve on the court because
of his age.
The refusal of Mr.. Root serves to
increase the chances for John Bassett
Moore or Prof Roscoe Pound, two
other Americans, being nominated for
the court, and to be elected.
Mr.. Roots cablegram was in reply
to personal message of inquiry. He
said he deeply regretted he could not
serve as it was too great a responsi.
bility for one to assume at the age
of rs.
Some delegates to the assembly, no.
tably Castoa da Cunha of Brazil, de-
clared today they favored the elec-
tion of Mr.. Root. despite his cable
gram, as an honor.
The contents of the cable from Mr. d.
Root were known informally to the
delegates before today's session of the
assembly opened and there were
many expressions of keen regret. A
number of delegations indicated they
would substitute the name of John
Bassett Moore for that of Mr.. Root
when the election takes place on We'd
neSday.

Unusual opportunity has been given
the committee to learn the general
sentiment of the community toward
this big new movement. The commit

the community is thoroughly alive to
the need and necessity OF verile.
thoroughly representative, modern
and democratic chamber of commerce
that is properly financed to take care
of the wonderful opportunities for ex-
pansion and trade growth of Lake

The committee feels that the Cham
ber must have at least 700 members.
Anything short of this number will
place Lakeland at very severe han
dicap in competing with other COM
munities-a handicap that Lakeland
has suffered under only too long. A
large. membership will not only give
the new organization a sufficient
working capital so that it can accom-
plish, but will do as much to create
the impression through the country
that this is indeed a community worth
while. The committee feels that nov

FIGHT FOR MAYOR
in new YORK CITY
Republicans Making Great Effort
TO Bring Out a Winner
Against Mayor Hylan

New York, Sept ia four-corner-
ed fight for the Republican nomina-
ton for mayor overshadows all other
features of the primaries Tuesday.
Mayor John F. Hylan is unopposed on

pectedly wrested the Republican nom

John Purroy Mitchell four years ago
Major Curran is the nominee of the
Coalition Republican forces and has
the endorsement of the regular Re-
publican machine. Major La Guards
