 From Marion
By Associated Press

Washington, March 2-The influx of visitors to Washington to attend the inauguration Friday has started an elaborate ceremony, hundreds of persons arrived today and tomorrow the number is expected to run into the thousands and others to arrive Friday morning.
 The special forecast of cold and probably fair weather for inaugura- tion which went out today from the weather bureau may result in mate- rially increasing the out-of-town crowd, as some who had wished to come probably have hesitated because of memories of bad weather at some previous inaugurations.

He will go direct 10 the New Willard ho- tel, where he will make his headquar- ters until he starts to the capitol Fri day morning. Vice President Coolidge and several members of the new cabi- net already are on the ground. The cabinet officers designate here include Chas. F. Hughes to be secretary of state; Will H. Hays to be Postmaster Gener-
  the Navy; former Senator John W. Weeks, to be Secretary of War ane Senator Fall, to be Secretary of the Interior.
 Most of them will not actually take over direction of the various depart mehts to which they have been as- signed until Saturday. Meantime, some of them are comforting with present cabinet officers to familiarize them- selvea with the work ahead of them.
 MT. Denby had long conference to> day with Secretary Daniels, discussing naval policies and the naval appropri- ation bill now before the Senate. He reiterated his statement that he would aim to have navy ready for battle at all times" and also said he believed in giving every opportunity to the en- listed man for promotion and self-bet- terment
 Vice President Coolidge worked to- day at his inaugural address, which he irtimated would be very brief, and received political leaders and con- gressmen at his hotel apartments Among his callers was Assistant Sec retary of the Navy Woodbury.
 Whether President Wilson is actual ly to attend the inauguration of MT. Harding still remains to be deter mined. White House officials said to- day the President was anxious to fol- low all precedents and the congress sional inaugural committee has agreed to provide a chair for him on the east portico of the capitol. Other guests at the inauguration will stand during the ceremony of the delivery of MT. Harding's speech.
 It is definitely settled that MT. Will son will be present at the inaueura. tior of Mir Coolidge He will. r;da n the capitol with MT. Harding, but will not accompany him back to the White House, as is the usual custom. h. stead, he will drive direct to his re. gently acquired home on street. where during the afternoon he will receive democratic Senate leaders ana other friends.

TURKISH MANDATE

In referring to the postponement of the consideration by the councilNof the mandate of the former Turkish pos sessions, including Mesopotamia, which would result in a delay in final con- clusions until the United States had an opportunity to express its views, the note, after inviting the United States to take part in the discussions of these mandates and the African mandate, says:
 "A problem so intricate and involved as that of mandates can hardly be han dled by an interchange of formal notes It can only be satisfactorily solved by personal contact and by the direct ex- change of opinion. Not only do such direct negotiations correspondent to true spirit of the League of Nations effect an increase of freedom, flexibil- ity and speed, but they create spirit of mutual good will and cooperation among the people meeting around the same table"
 After pointing out that the. council is without the same liberty of actions regarding the mandates for the Pa cific as in the case of the other types, the note continues:
 The main American objection in this case, it is understood from your excel lency's note. is to the effect that the lSIdnQ or Tap was lnCluueu uy lue council in the. mandate given Japan, whereas your excellency states that the United States has on several occasions refused to agree to the allocation of this island to any one state.
 UP TO SUPREME COUNCIL
 The council of the League of Ma tions would remind your excellencs that the allocation of all mandated ter -itories is a function of the supreme council and not of the council of the league.
 The league is concerned not with the allocation but with the adminis- tration of these territories.
 Having been notified in the name of the allied and associated powers that all the islands north of the equator had been allocated to Japan, the council of the league merely full filled its responsibility of defining the terms of the mandate Consequently, if a misunderstanding exists as to the allocation of the island of Yap, that misunderstanding would seem to be be- tween the United States and the prin- cipal allied powers, rather than be- tween the United States and the league.
 However, in view of the American contention. the council of the league has hastened to forward the American note to the governments of France, Great Britain. Italy and Japan.
 "The council hopes these explana- tions will prove satisfactory to the ciprocal good will"

 The note, which bears date of March 1, is signed by Dr. Da, Cunha, president of the council.
