.GOV. TEMPLE7ON
 EXPRESSES REGRETS
Country Lost a Most Distin.
 guished Citizen in Wilson

Waterbury, Feb. {. = Governor Charles A. Templeton today, express ed his regret at the passing of for mer President Wilson. In a statement given out to the press the governor speaks of the late presidents devotion to duty and his many other admirable traits. and characteristics, which made him one of the prominent and inn portant figures in the world. The gov ernor's statement follows:
 Tn the passing of former President Wilson, the country has lost a most distinguished citizen. As the presi- dent of our nation during the greatest war in history, he led our people to heights of patriotic fervor and spirit ual exaltation, that have not been ex- ceeded in any other period in our na- tional life. His brilliant intellectual gifts, his strength of character and his rise from obscurity to the highest official place on earth are typical of The genius of America. His un- swerving devotion to duty, as he saw it. was never questioned.
 During the past four years the spectacle of his pathetic suffering, borne with uncomplaining fortitude, has deeply touched the hearts fall his countrymen.
 Tt is idle at the present moment to speculate on the exact position he will occupy in history, or to form a just estimate of his qualities and achievements. But the commander, in-chief of our armed forces during the most critical period has passed on and all his countrymen bow their heads in sorrow and in sympathy"

New York, Feb. 1. - New York paused in it's whirl today to remember Woodrow Wilson.
 Everywhere flags were at half staff in busy Wall street, on crowded Broadway, and on Fifth avenue, that avenue of the allies which only a few years ago was filled so often with military pageantry as the men of Mir. Wilson's armies marched 10 war and home again.
 Many courts adjourned while jus tices and magistrates took occasion to pay tribute to the former president. Tn the show windows of many de- rartment stores. portraits of Mr. Will son were displayed drapcd in crepe, and before each there was always a cluster Of passersby who paused for moment to remember the silent house in s street. Washington.
 Orders went out to all vessels of the United American line, whether in port or on the high seas, to fly their flags at nalfmast for a period of 90 days.
 memorial service will be held on Wednesday, the day Of the services in Washington, aboard the Hamburg American liner, Albert Ballin, now en route to New York from German ports.
 The Cunard line announced that its steamers flags would be half mssted and that memorial services would take place Wednesday aboard all incoming ships.
 Governors Of the New York stock exchange will meet late today to take action on the closing of the exchange as mark of respect for the late Woodrow Wilson. Following it's pre- cedent the stock exchange probably will suspend trading for several hours on the day of the funeral.

President Coolidge Orders Flags
 HaltMaSted for 30 Days

Washington, D. C., Feb, 4.-Upon | learning of the death of ex-President Wilson yesterday, President Coolidge issued the following proclamstion: 1 By the president of the United States of America. ,.
 4 Proclamation
 To the People of the United States: 1 The death of Woodrow Wilson, president Of the United States from March {, 1918. to March 4, 1921, which occurred at 1l:15 o'clock Sum day at his home at Washington, Dis trict of Columbia. deprives the coun- try of a most distinguished citizen, and is an event which causes uni versal and genuine sorrow. To many of us it brings the sense of pro- found personal bereavement.
 His early profession as a lawyer was abandoned to enter academic life. In this chosen field he attained the high est rank as an educator, and has left his impress upon the intellectual thought of the country. From the presidency of Princeton university he was called by his fellow citizens to be the chief executive of the state of New Jersey. The duties of this nigh office he so conducted as to win the confidence Of the people of the United States. who twice elected him to the Chief Nagistracy of the Republic, As president of the United States he was moved by an earnest desire to pro- mote the best interests of the country as he conceived them. His acts were prompted by high motives and his sincerity of purpose cannot be aues- ton. He led the nation through the terrific struggle of the world war with a lofty idcalism which never failed him. Tie gave utterance to the as- piration of humanity with an elo- quence which held the attention of all tho earth and made America a new and enlarged influence in the destincy Of mankind.
 Tn testimony Of the respect in which his memory is held by tho gov crnment and the people of tho United states, I do hereby direct that the flags of the White House and Of the several departmental buildings be dis played at half staff for a period of 80 days, and that suitable military and naval honors, under orders of the sec retary of war and of the secretary of the navy, may be rendered on tho day of the funeral.
 Done at the city of Washington this third day of February, in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four. and of the indepcn- dence of the United States of Ameri- ca the one hundred and forty.eighth.

vealed to anyone how far he might be prepared to go in reasserting hi claim to a place in party councils.
 It is certain there was no truth ir widely circulated reports that tho former President planned to again be. come candidate for the nomination And if he had any preference among those who are seeking to inherit hi, mantle of leadership, he kept it from some of his closest friends.
 He did plan.- however. to make Q very definite effort to align his party behind the policies that he believed to his dying day constitute the para mount issues before the country and the world. He expected to place be- fore the democratic convention in con- crete form declaration of principles whose adoption, to his mind, would signalizc a reconsecratioH to the fundamentals of democracy. Not only in regard to foreign affairs. but in do- mestic questions as well. he was pre- pairing to lay before his party the fruits of his long months of retire. ment and reflection.
 Believed In League
 To the last he never wavered in his belief in the league q nations that he did so much to create. but it must re- main one of the problems of history whether in his declining days there was any softening of the determined stand he had taken against Q com promise in the form of American participation in the leagues activities.
 Almost his last public utterance was a reaffirmation of his complete con- tempt for those who had blocked the way of his proposals in the senate. but in the two days of his last illness, af- ter he saw the end nearing, he appear ed to put out of his thoughts entirely all the public questions that for so long had been ths meat and bread of the keen intellect.
 His plan to place his policies before his party and ask for a decision was long in maturing dur ing the months of waiting for the op- portunity he saw in the offing. But before he died he had made up his ftiftus anu tut htiy itW CohhudHt5 " whom he imparted his intentions knew that once Woodrow Wilson had reached a determination. nothing but the hand of death could stop him from putting it into execution.
 Win Unbroken
 For his power of will remained un- broken to the end--as militant as 1t was in the days of his dominant as determined as 1t was in 1916, when he threatened to pack his grip and go to St. Louis unless the in session there to re- agreed 10 accept the kind Of plank he wanted regarding tho Ger man-Americans; as yiriIe AS 1t was in 1920, when he conferred in hisstdck- room with tho newly nominated democratic candidate and astonished and sorely disappointed, his enemies by making thoroughly convincing of his views, followed a few hours later by an announcement by Governor Cox that he and Mir. Will son were in complete accord.
 Once he had put hts declaration Of before the national conyen- don, the former president expected to ,all on the party leaders to nominate l man who could stand four-square on ,uch a platform. But if he had any lesire to actually select the candidate, he name of the man he favored must | 'emain locked forever in the tomb.

ccasionally he invited to lunch or dinner some man who had been closely associated with his adminis- tration during the war period, but he had no more intimates out of the White House than he did while in it, and his wife had very few.

Personal Likines

There was a good deal of public eI- aggeration about Mr. Wilson's pen- chant for reading detective stories. ai- though he did do some light read jig. He took to golf as a health measure at his doctors orders and learned to like it: he liked light music and the thester when the en- tertainment was diverting. He con- fcsssd he had 10 digestion Tor grand opera and the heavier drama
 Many of his assistants called bim ruthless and others called him un- grat sfui, while others recalled marks of the varmest personal c0nsidera- ton. One thing he regarded as sacred and not to be trespassed upon under any consideration. That was his fam fly fife. Nothing aroused him more than public discussions or printed references to the women folk Of his household. He insisted upon most rigid cbservance Of conventionalitics
 When he left the White House and moved to a homo in the heart Of the exclusive residential district. he con fjnued a fife or seelUsion in which his onfv diversions were notor ride three or four times week ard an oc- caasnzI visit to a vaudeville show.

that it Is often hard to tell where fun ends and
vice begins-and she paid for her lack ofknowl-
