Progressives Abandon Fight When Longworth Promises Opportunity To Freely Suggest Re- visions
Will Formally Acknowledge Action and at Same Time May Indicate His Attitude Toward 1924.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Frederick H. Gillett of Massachusetts was re-elect- ed speaker Of the house today when the republican insurgents voted for him for the first time since a dead- lock developed Monday.
 The reelection Of Mir Gillett com- pleted organization of the sixty-eighth congress and paved the way for Presi- dent Coolidge to deliver tomorrow his first message to a joint session of the house and senate.
 Insurgents Reassured
 The insurgents decided to abandon their fight after they had been as- sured by Representative Longworth of Ohio, the republican leader, that opportunity would be afforded later Ito freely offer amendments to the house rules. From the start the in- surgent group has maintained that it's real fight was for a rules revision.
 The break came on the first ballot today, the ninth taken for speaker since Monday noon. From the outset the insurgents had been casting IT votes for Cooper of Wisconsin, one of their leaders and for Madden of  Illinois.
 Another Threat Today
 The agreement for revision Of the rules was reached by the leaders last night, but there was an eleventh hour furry today, when Representa- tive Nelson Of Wisconsin. chairman of the insnrgont group. announced that he and his associates would not be bound by any agreement to support Gillett until the terms Of the rules understanding had been reaffirmed specifically on the house floor.
 As soon as the session began, Mir. Nelson presented statement embody- ing his view of the status Of the un- dertanding and Representative Long, worth arose and told the house that the statement was correct. The clerk then called the roll for the ninth line for Gilleti,
 Elected On 9th Ballot
 On the final ballot. Gillett received gi5 votes
 Represpntstive Garrett of Tennes- see. the democratic candidate, had 1e7. and two voted for Representa- tive Madden.

PRESIDENT PLEASED WITH VICTORY
 OVER JOHNSON ON DAKOTA BALLOTS
President Coolidge Will De- liver His First Message Before Joint Session at Noon Tomorrow.

Washington, Dec. E. --- President Coolidge will acknowledge the action of the South Dakota republican pro- posal convention in granting him the preference for tho presidential pri- mary. and will send a communication to republican leaders Of that state, which may go a long way toward in- dicating his attitude toward 1924. r The intention of Mir. Coolidge to recognize publicly the South Dakota conventions endorsement was made known today at the White House, where officials made no attempt to disguise their satisfaction in the ma- iority given the president over Hiram Johnson.
 To whom the president will send his message of acknowledgment had not been determined today. decision being withheld pending receipt from republican leaders of 4 communica- ton setting forth the action of yes tcrday's convention.
 The belief has been general in Washington for several weeks that soon after the president delivered his message to congress an occasion would be found permitting him or his friends to make clear whether he proposed to be q candidate. The South Dakota endorsement is regard cd by some political observers here as furnishing such an opportunity.
 Not sure of Votes
 Friends Of the president recognize that the endorsement given at Pierre yesterday does not make certain that South Dakotas 12 votes in the re- publican national convention will 20 to Mr. Coolidge. The South Dakota law as understood here provides that the name of the candidate receiving the convention endorsement shall go on the ballot at the presidential pref ercbtial primary to be held March 25. as the majority candidate. Inasmuch as the endorsement of NIT. Coolidge was made unanimous. however. friends Of the president do not be- lieve a minority candidate setild make much headway in ths primary.
 Several of the presidents callers to- day, notably Senator Iodge of Maysa- chusetts. expressed 10 him their sat- iSfdCtlOn III ine EoD1u itah0la ieSullS. Mr. Lodge described it as an "aInaz- ing expression" in view of the status of the Coolidge organization in that state.
 Capper Not Impressed
 Senator Capper Of Kansas. who re- ceiyed the unanimous indorsement Of ! the south Dakota convention for the yice-presidency. said today that he . was not a candidate and regarded the action as merely compii- ! mentary.
 q am going tJ stick 10 Kansas" he ! said. Last summer announced 1 myself for reelection to the senate. i My name will go before tine primary . next August I have no political as pirations for president or tiee-presi- l dent. and only desire to continue to . serve by state few more years In = the senate. Of course, I would regard . it as a high honor 10 run with Prssi- 1 dent Coolidge on the presidential 4 ticket. but I have no aspirations in that respect"
