Washington, April 6.-Vice- Presi- dent Coolidge today predicted that President Harding's renomination and reelection would be demanded by the people because of the record of his administration.
 The vice-president declined to pre- dict what his attitude would be to- ward a re-nomination as MT. Hard ing's running mate, indicating that he did not regard the present as op- portune time for discussion of the subject.
 It was explained at Mir. Coolidge's office that he had made his position regarding the presidential nomination clear because of numerous questions addressed to him and because of re- cent newspaper speculation involving his name in connection with the par tvs 1924 ticket.
 He sent this telegram in reply to a questioner who asked whether he be- lieved President Harding would be renominated and whether he himself would again become candidate for the vice. presidency:
 T believe the people will demand the renomination and reelection of President Harding because of the great record of achievement under lis leadership.
 T have no announcement to make at this time of my own plans for the future"

HEALTH BOARD KICKS
 ON NO WATER ORDER
Will Insist on Service Being Provided to Avoid
 Nuisance

If the water department carries out it's announced intention of shutting of water service in buildings where water rentals have not been paid promptly, and as a result of that ac- : ton trere is danger of nuisance or hardship being caused, the health de- partment will issue orders to have the water turned on, Dr. F. P. Lee, su- perintendent of the department, as- serted this morning in answer to a query as to what the department's 's stand would be under those condi- tons.
 Several days ago it was announced at the office of the water board that there arc many delinquents on the books of the office. and that it had been decided that drastic steps must be taken to ensure payment. Ii was stated that water service would be turned off in a few days in the houses controlled by some of the delinquents.
 In many cases the houses are ten anted by persons other than the own CTS and in some instances the owners are not even in the city or within bounds of easy communication. If the water was turned off the tenants and not the owners would suffer and in answer to the water boards sugges- ton that they move, it was argued that it is not possible to get out of one tenement and into another sum- marily. If required to go several days without water. nuisance and hardship would be caused sufficient to warrant orders from the health department Tor the return of water service. pr. Tee feels.

 IN THE FIFTH WARD Democrats Minus Candidates for
 Common Council Positions sIKORA HAS WITHDRAWN
Nominee Says He is Absent From City Greater Part of Time--Egan In- formed Positively His Name is Not On Voting List.

The democratic ticket went to the printers this morning without a single nominee from the fifth ward, eau GUS in that district Tuesday evening having decided that the republican nominee for alderman Peter J. Pa iewski, should be endorsed; William F. Egan, nominee for councilman, having been found to be not on the voting list, while William Sikora, the other nominee for councilman. has withdrawn due to the fact that he is seldom in the city.
 The democratic town committee was authorized at the city convention last night to fill any vacancies that might exist on the ticket, but it was not until this morning that announce ment was made of Sikora's with drawal. It became known yesterday afternoon that Egan, through a mis- understanding, had never been ad- mitted as voter. although his appli- cation was in the hands of the regis- trars of voters last March within the time limits.

The last two have not previously held public office. Alderman Pajewski Is out his first term.
 Egan was surprised yesterday after noon to find that he was not on the list. He said he was given to under stand by certain leaders of the demo- cratic party that his application had gone through the regular channels and he was eligible to vote.
 Egan Advised By Lawyer
 The fifth ward nominee retained Attorney Thomas F. McDonough to determine his rights and was advised thSt, Whttc ghe nominatier of itself n.. lt sta \ he could no' be elected md. take office unless a special ses- ,ion of the board of selectmen is held before election day.
