Few large crowds ever left
building more quietly or more
quickly than did the assemblage
of diners and dancers whe were in
the Palace Hotel when President
Harding died on the eighth floor
of that building last night.
An orchestra was playing and
hundreds were dancing in the
rose bowl room when an assistant
manager entered and held up his
hand. The music stopped. La

An equally dramatic scene was
enacted in the hotel lobby, which
was crowded with those going or

who had remained in the hotel
since early in the week to be

SAN FRANCISCO. August =
President Harding had a premonition
that his illness was to be fatal, ac-
cording to statement by Elbert F.
Remsberg, his brotherinlaw. to
newspaper men.
Mr.. Remsberg said the thought Of
death has been present in the ex-

that several times he spoke of I'll"
fact that several members of his
family had died at about his age.

convinced him he had a chance to get

Naturally that upset the Harding
friends and advisers and how much.
If at all. it upset the Presidents
plans is not known in Washington
because he was in Alaska when the
development came about, but word
was sent to him informing him fully.
All these developments threw po-
litical plans awry. and now the sad
and sudden death of the President
gives them another twist. Vice
president Coolidge becomes Presi-
dent; whether he will ask a nomina-
tion at the hands of the coming con-
vention, as did Theodore Roosevelt
after the death of Mckinley. remains
for the future.
Whether the party chieftains will
wish to use their available machinery
to accomplish his nomination is vet
to be decided; the events of the next

cupies the presidential chair may

Must Indorse Party Record.
The leaders still feel they must go
before the country with an indorse-
ment of the accomplishments of the
Harding administration.
The best informed feel they will
most likely choose to do it with some
member of that administration; some
one who had stood close to and for
the Harding policies.
The late Tom PIatt made Theo-
dore Roosevelt vice president with
the openly announced purpose of
putting him out of the way, political
ly. He made him a PRESIDENT and one
OF Americas national heroes The
case of Coolidge is not analogous, but
ii is similar.
Coming TO the convention of 1920
with delegates pledged to his 'nomi-
nation for the presidency. Mr.. Cool
idge polled no high BALLOT and was
soon almost lost sight of in the
scra mble between Gov. Lowden and
! Cen. Wood. When the leaders in
the field shot through winner.
Coolidge was still lost, sight of
among the leaders, but not among the
delegates.
Delegates Choose Coolidge.
The party leaders placed in nomina-
ton for the vice presidency Senator
Lenroot Of Wisconsin. expecting him to
go over. But the delegates remembered
Coolidge and forced his nomination.
They recalled his record as governor of
massachusetts, and the fate of that
