Coolidge Consents
To Confer with
News Writers Today

Plymouth, Vt, Aug. 21-Nearinc
the end of his first week of vacation.
President Coolidge was ready to-
night to turn his attention from his
,LI oSram of seclusion and rest and
take up some of the special business
of his office. In this connection he
consented today to hold conference
tomorrow with newspapermen AMI
expects Saturday to meet the towns
folk at an informal reception.
During his visit to date, Mr.. Coo
Ndge has received but n few visitors
and has confined himself almost en-
tirely to seeking rest and recreation.
Tourists and persons of this section
have travelled through here each day
but with few exceptions all have
been held at the "deadline" manned
by state police and secret serviC.,
men, about 100 yards nom the house.
Mr.. Coolidge has with him the re-
port of the tariff commission on the
sugar duty and he also is studying
with interest the developments in
Europe arising from the settlement
of the Preparations problem. In his
speech of acceptance, the president
said that when that situation was
cleared up he would consider the
time appropriate for the calling OF
another world conference to discuss
further limitation of ornaments.
During his stay. the nominee has
seen no political leaders nor discuss
ed except in the most casual way the
political situation and it is thought
likely also that he may receive some
members fthe party who will be IN
this section soon in connection with
the coming election.

their way anyhow see no need of do
