BEVERIDGE SEES

TICKET RUMORED
Washington Papers Comment
on Selection of HooSier
as Vice President,
By c. a. RANDAU
Times Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON. May 9.-Arrival of
former Senator and Mrs. Beveridge
at the White House, where they are
guests of the President and Mrs.
Coolidge for two days, is causing much
speculation on the possibilities of the
former Hoosier Senator being chosen
as a team-mate for Coolidge.
The Washington Post this morning
says: Former Senator Beveridge is a
guest at the White House, and while
1t is disclaimed by Secretary Slemp
and others, as we'll as by the former
Senator himself, that his presence
here at this time has any political
significance, it is bard TO convince
others that Mr.. Beveridge merely
dropped in for. a social visit, particu-
larly as Mr.. Coolidge had not before
met the Irdianian. It is known that
persons close TO the President have
talked of Beveridge as a candidate for
Vice President"
The Washington Herald olso COM
ments on Beveridges visit.
when Beveridge put Harry New
out of the running in the Republican
primaries two years ago, he made him
POLITICAL enemy for life. " says the
Herald. "If Beveridge is selected, Mr..
New will probably grin and bear it,
though nothing could displease him
more. Senator Watson will feel no
better about it, but apparently the
Presidents managers see a certain
strength in an idge' ticket.
1t is hardly necessary to mention
that in the East Beveridge Is still
thought of as a progressive. regard

the contrary.

NEW YORK, May 16.-The cot ton market was generally lower today owing to freer offerings of the near months following arrivals of small lots of cotton here from the south for de livery this month and prospects of better weather in the belt.

 The market opened easy at an ad- vance of two points to a decline of p points owing to better overnight weather advices and realizing. May was relatively firm at the start, but soon weakened under liquidation due to mo- tices representing about 2,50O bales and rumors that about 25,000 bales of cot ton were to. be, shipped here from the south before the end of the month, Slight rallies followed the publication of rather bullish weekend figures, but selling became more general later when May contracts were offered more freely at differences ranging down to 227 points on July and sentiment was in- fuenced by the weather outlook.
