PRESIDENT GIVES UP

President Harding today notified
those in charge of arrangements for
the testimonial meeting tonight at
New York for Gen. and Mrs. Balling-
ton Booth of the Volunteers of
America that he would be unable to
accept their invitation to address the
gathering.
The telegram was sent shortly be-
fore noon. White House officials said
the executive had hoped until the
last minute to be able to go, and was
unable to decide even after reaching
his office this morning whether he
could do so. During the morning,
however he went over with Secre-
tary Christian his engagements for
the day and the various matters on
his desk, and came. to the conclusion
that it would be impossible to leave
the capital.
The President also had received an
invitation to speak today before the
annual meeting In New York Of The
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, but he informed the officers Of
the chamber that he lacked the time
to prepare an address which such an
engagement would call for.

DEAL, England, May 10.-Two
Americans remained in the running
for the British amateur golf cham
pionship at the completion Of the
fifth round this afternoon. They are
Francis Ouimet of Boston and Doug
las Grant, American born but for
some years a resident of London.
The only other American survivor
Of the fourth round, DR.. o. F. Willing
of Portland, Ore, went down in a
hard fight with Roger Wethered, the
oxford star. George v. Rotan Of
Houston, Tex, and John F. Neville
of San Francisco lost in the fourth
round this morning.
Ouimet won from c. Bretherton of
Handsworth by one hole this after
noon after defeating Neville in the
morning.
Ouimet kept himself in the running
for the championship only after a
most trying uphill struggle in the
afternoon. He was 3 down on the
sixth hole and still down at the
turn. He also gave Bretherton a good
opportunity tof square the match on
the home green. when he missed a
short putt, but Bretherton failed on
one of the same length, giving Ouimet
the victory.
The Bostonian seemed nervous and
suffering from the cold on the out
ward stretch, which was played in
a driving rain, and he was making
every shot quickly and without delib-
Grafton. The sun broke through,
however. and on the homeward route
the American was his usual steady
self except on the greens. Ouime t
tomorrow will meet Cyril Tolley, the
former British champion, a match
which is sure to draw large gallery.

turn, but the Bostonian's pluck and
steady play finally brought him home
a winner and left him Americas best
hope. which the English golfng ex-
perts have considered him from the
beginning.
Grant Looms Large.
Grants victory this afternoon also
brings him more prominently to the
front as an American possibility for
the championship. While the Eng
lish seemed inclined to claim him
for their own, owing to his many
years of residence in the British Isles,
the fact remains that he was born
in San Francisco, where his father,
John d. Grant, still lives. He learned
his golf on the coast and has at
times been California amateur and
the Pacific northwest champion, win

MOSCOW. May. 10.-The decision in
reply to the British ultimatum will
be made by the government as a
whole. Until a formal decision is
made no official comment is available
here. Unoficially, however. the au-
thorities express resentment at what
they term the extraordinary and un-
diplomatic phrases in which the de-
mand is made.
The outcome depends upon the
real attitude of the British govern
ment." one said. Does it want a
settlement of the matters in dispute ?
If 1t does we can come to an ar
rangement.
Is it simply seeking an excuse for
a rupture as Austria-Hungary did
when presenting the note to Serbia
in 1914? If such is the case nothing
we can do will be of any avail. One s
first impression on reading the Brit
ish note is that the latter surmise
is true"
Missions Would BE Closed.
How far such rupture would go
depends entirely upon circumstances.
