ny United Press Leased Wire

hopes for big celebration here on
March 4 when President Coolidge
is inaugurated are now pinned on
the unofficial inaugural ball which
ambitious matrOns of the official

The president 5 relentless opposi-
tion to display has dashed the
chances of regular civic celebra-
tion. With his final refusal to con
sent to n mammoth parade, the
committee of merchants promoting
the spectacle returned contributions
and disbanded.
About seven thousand regular
army troops and escorts of the gov
ernors who attended the Inaugural
tion, not exceeding 100 each, will
make up the parade.
The unofficial ball promises n
good time to those who pay SO n
couple to gain adml ssion. Vice
President anu Mrs. Dawes will be
the ranking guests, the President
and Mrs. Coolidge having refused
to attend because Of their continued
mourning for Calvin, Jr. The
White House couple, however. has
lent its names to the list of patrons
and patronesses.
Brigadier General Mitchell heads
the arrangements committee and
Colonel Clifford, former assistant
secretary OF the treasury, the rcenp-
ton committee The ball will be
held in the newest of Washington s
hotels, the Mayflower, on Connecti-
cat Avenue.
