HARDING'S FRIENDS WORK
 TO GET HIM DENOMINATION
President Himself is Not Expected to Make Any Public Announcement
 in the Near Future

Washington, Feb. 2s.-(By the As- sociated Press)-Convince that half dozen aspirants already are making cautious overtures to test their strength as republican presidential possibilities for 1924. some of thi friends If President Harding nave ctei gun work to assure him a renomina- ton.
 Thus far the movement on behalf of the president has not reached the proportions of a closely knit organiza- ton. but 1t has progressed to the point where it promises to make it. self felt in many states before the coming summer Is well begun.
 The attitude of MT. Harding him. self toward a second term remains unannounced. and 1t is considered inn probable that he will make any public statement of his intentions. at least in the near future. There is quite general agreement among those on the inner circle of Washington poli- tics. however, that desire for pub lie endorsement of his stewardship will impell him to stand for re-elec- ton.
 It il upon this presumption, at any rate, that those who want to see him in the white house for an- other four years are proceeding.

NEW ENGLAND NOT TO
 GET COAL PRIORITY
l. C. c. Refuses to Lay Elm bargo Against Exporting
 Anthracite Into Canada

Washington. Feb. 2s.-Conditions governing the supply Of anthracite coal do not warrant the laying of an embargo against the export Of an- thracite to Canada, the interstate commerce commission declared today in a report to the senate.
 The commission further reported that investigation into anthracite sup plies and methods of distributing, had impelled it to refrain from issuing any priority orders governing the move- ment Of anthracite from mines in Pennsylvania to New England or the northeast section Of New York state, where there has been much agitation for priority and for embargo.
 A statement of the reasons which have governed the commissions course was transmitted to the senate In response to resolution of inquiry
 general plan for alloting an thracite coal was adopted by produc- CTS and national and state fuel dis tributors last fall, the commissions report said, when the five months strike in the producing regions of Pennsylvania ended.
 That plan has been followed in general ever since, and the commis- sian said 1t saw no reason for a change, since in six weeks the reasoi, of heavy coal consumption wille be over.
 "No better plan of distribution has been brought to our attention" saio the report.
 We cannot give our approval to an which If enforced, might benefit certain communities but which inevitably would deprive other com munitics Of their al'otted snppiy or arthrat.ite coal, which in cst cases is but sixty per cent of the ousntity actually needed"
 If all shipments from the United States to Canada were stopped during the balance of the year the tonnage of anthracite saved from consumption | n the United States would only in- ,rease by three per cent the amount low expected to be available for con- sumption in the United States
 The commission further explained hat while withholding priority or lers for the northeast, it had taken teps to obtain voluntary cooperation y railroads to expedite transporta- ion.
