 enigma. Will he enter the
 or will he follow the course ne originally outlined before Hard ing's death, which was to. wait until 1924? Coolidge will have to play his cards carefully there, as well as in dealing with the numerous other prospective candidates, many of whom were in the Harding camp. No Commitments Likely.
 As a beginner, Coolidge has an nounced his intention of following the Harding policies. That is as far as he is expected to go for the present. Though he holds his first official press conference next Tues day, he is not expected to make any definite commitments, except, per haps, as regards few matters that are pressing at this time.
 The world court plan of President Harding is one of the principal is sues upon which politicians would like to know his course, as this has proven a tug of war. Ambassador George Harvey discrssed this ques- tion with him Thursday. Harvey re- fused to tell what Coolidge had said. Senator George Moses of New Hamp- shire, strong opponent of the world court, came out of conference With the President smiling. He said he had discussed only personal mat ters."
 Among the pressing problems now before the country, Coolidge may advance some suggestions as to his course. Several callers have talked a special session of Congress; most of them opposing 1t. From all indi- cations, Coolidge will stick by the Harding refusal Senator Shipstead of Minnesota urged an extra session Thursday, saying that 70 per cent of the people of the northwest want ed it. On the other hand. Repre- sentative Nelson of Wisconsin, an other progressive, who saw Coolidge Thursday. advised against it.

 Coolidge may make some commit men on the coal situation, though 1t is generally regarded that he will take no drastic action unless the deadlock between the anthracite miners and operators appears perma- nane and a strike imminent. Con- ciliatory measures may be used first. An immediate problem laid before the President Thursday Is immigra- tion. Assistant Secretary of Labor Henning handed the President tele- grom from Representative Albert Johnson of Washington, chairman of 1he House immigration committee, telling of congested conditions al ports along the Pacific cosat. mere ara i nOO immigrants now waiting at ports of the country for admit tnnce Tanning said.
