 It had been hoped that General Greedy now the oldest of Arctic ,ex- plorers, would be present to well come the returning MacMillan. He had come to this port IS months ago to bid MaoMillan Godspeed but 1t was feared he might not be able to greet him today.
 Back Home At Last
 Returning from his IS months expedition to northern Greenland, Captain Donald B, MacMillan, Arc tic explorer, and his six companions will set loot on the, main land ,of the United States today for the first time since he left this port year ago last June. g
 Leaving Monhegan Island in the open ocean where he passed the night after his arrival at nightfall, Captain MacMillan planned to bring his auxiliary schooner Bowdoin across the IS miles stretch to the entrance of the Sheepscot river this forenoon. Escorted by . large number. of boats the Bowdoin will proceed up the river a distance of some 12 miles to Wiscasset.
 This port, which MacMillan has made his base for arrival and de- tparture in two of his eight expedl- tions into the Arctic, has planned an elaborate welcome for the re- turning explorer and his party.
 MacMHlan planned to reach Wis casset at exactly o'clock eastern standard time. Hundreds of per- sons will be gathered to greet the schooner when she arrives, escort ed by the fleet of welcoming craft. Then the community will give its welcome to the scientist and the members of his party returning fNom far beyond the Arctic Circle wlee they have been engaged in exploration and scientific work.
 It was expected that, when he steppeds ashore, Dr. MacMillan would be welcomed in behalf of the state by Governor Percival P. Baxter
 \ A short parade, in which the Bowdoin college professor will be escorted by number of Bowdoin graduates, will take the party to the Common where the formal ex- ercises will be held in front of the First Parish Congregational church.

The tablet marks the site of starvation camp where, in 1884, eighteen members of the party of 25 men who pene- trated to this point in the Greedy expedition perished.
 The tablet was sent into the far north with Captain Donald B. Mac Milan, when he set out from here year ago fast June, by the Na- tional Geographic society. Today. Captain MacMillan reported to the society that he had performed his mission, having crossed with other members of his party, the thin ice of Smith sound on sledes in his appointed task.

 ITO the memory of the dead who, under Lieutenant A, W. Gree y here gave their lives to insure he final and complete success of the first scientific cooperation of the United States with other na- tions. 1SS1-1Ss4." .
 One of the most northerly monu- ments in the world, the tablet stands 7s degrees, 4s minutes, north latitude on Cape Sabine in Ellesmere land

PRESIDENT WIRES
 MASS. REPUBLICANS
Outlines Issuss--Fisht Over { Klan Likely

Worcester, Mass, Sept 2o,-With message from President Coolidge giving as issues of the Coming cleo, ton "economy, stability and common sense in Government" the Republi- can state convention today took up adoption of the platform in which the party was to pledge itself anew to him and to his policies.
 The telegram from the president, addressed to Chairman Frank H. Foss of the Republican state conn mittee, said:
 This Is the first time in many years that I have not been able to attend the Republican state conven- ton in Massachusetts. wish you would communicate my~best wishes to the delegates and express my ap- preciation of the loyal support which they have given me. Present de- velopments indicate that in the com- ing election the Republican party is the only hope which America has for economy, stability and common sense in nigovernmeht. The appeal which 1t now makes to the patriot ism of the nation for present sup port has not been exceeded in many years know that we can depend on Massachusetts. believe we can depend on the nation.
 Signed:
 Y g, CALVIN COOLIDGE"
 All indications in advance of the resolutions committees report to the conTention were that the platform would declare, without recorded dissent, in fayor the national con- vention'ssstand on the Ku Klux Klan the committee having defeated a proposal to denounce 1t by name; that it would favor revision of the direct primary so that state candi- dates except governor and lieutenant governor would be nominated by convention, and that this would be the only reference to the proposal that the party refuse to endorse State Auditor Alonzo B. Cook, can didate for reelection and Washing ton Cook, his brother, candidate of the republicans in the second coun- cillor district.
 Klan Fight Looms
 There we're possibilities of fight on the floor on the Klan issue, which was introduced before the resolu- tions committee by a woman, Mrs tGeorge W. Knowlton, Jr., of West Upton, but Mayor F.. F. Leonard of Springfield who had said he would press the fight, was inclined today to stand by the platform as pre- pared. The resolutions committee had practically completed its work at midnight, when 1t adjourned un- til 9:30 a. m.
 United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, in a letter to Chairman Foss, expressed regret at his inability to attend, saying he regarded President Coolidge as 'invulnerable" as a can- didate and called for every possible effort to gain for the republican party the seat now held by Senator David I. Walsh, a democrat. Sen ator Lodge said he hoped later to be able to take part in the campaign.
 Of President Coolidge, the sena- tors letter said he should be assur- ed "a majority in Massachusetts greater than any candidate has ever received"
