is a member of the party. In the
party also are the score or more of
movie cameramen and newspaper
photographers, who have been shoot
ing" the vacation movements of the
President and Mrs. Coolidge. The
newspaper correspondents covering
the Summer capital were not aboard,
but met up with the party upon the
Mayflower'S arrival at Quincy.
According to the schedule of enter
tainment arranged for the presidential
party while in Quincy 1t is not thought
likely that the President will get back
to White Court much before 1880 this
evening.
Visit First in Years.
President Coolidge recalled today
that this is the first visit he has made
to Quincy since he was Lieutenant
Governor of Massachusetts. He was
then accompanied by Secretary of
War Weeks, who was then in the
Senate, and they had gone to the old
town to take part in a political rally.
Apparently, according to the Presi-
dents recollection, the affair had been
poorly advertised and as a result there
was only a handful Of people in the
hall. Naturally enough, there was
little enthusiasm, all of which was
felt by the President Rnd Mr.. Weeks.
On the way back IT, Boston he and
Mr.. Weeks spoke of Ebis cool reception
number of times, Dut the President,
who has an almost oncanny memory,
no doubt recalled toAt reception, with
its Indifferent applause, when he was
being so enthusiastically hailed by the
populace today. He has acquired a
habit of making these comparisons
since becoming President.
Secretary Weeks, by the way, has
sent word to the Summer White House
that he is recovering rapidly since
coming to West Gloucester and that
he is planning to return to his desk
at the War Department early in the
Fall. The Secretary's progress is re-
garded by his friends as amazing. He
now walks about the grounds of his
beautiful estate on Ipswich Bay with
the aid of a cane, and is eager to get
back in harness again.
Will See President Soon.
The Secretary hopes to make call
at White Court shortly. He told
friends last night that he was glad
that President Coolidge is to again
urge Congress to pass the bill pro-
viding for a reorganization of the
executive departments of the Govern
ment. He pointed out that there is
great need for reorganization
through the whole governmental sys-
tenn. He stated that the War De
partment can stand considerable re-
organization because of the tremen-
dous burdens imposed upon it during
the World War and since.
When President Coolidge tomorrow
receives the newly appointed Egyp-
tian Minister to the United States at
White Court, he will be establishing
another presidential precedent, ac-
cording to some of the older execu
tive office attaches. This call is sole
ly for the purpose of permitting the
Minister to present his letters TO Gre
dence. The reception will be formal
in its nature and will be concluded
after an exchange of fluctuations. 1t
is not recalled when any previous
President has received a foreign rep
resentative for such a purpose while
away from the White House.
Maj. CoupaI to Return.
Maj. James F. Coupal of the Medi-
cal Corps, u. S. A, the Presidents
private physician. who has been with
Col. John Coolidge, the Presidents
father, at Plymouth since the latter 8
operation, nearly three weeks ago,
will return to Swampscott tonight.
Maj. Coupal told the President over
the long-distance telephone yesterday
that Col Coolidge has recovered to
such an extent that his presence at
NJ L Tx4~l
quired.
Mai. Coupal sent word also that
John Coolidge is preparing to come to
White Court within the next few days.
The latter will visit his parents for
a week or 10 days before going to the
citizens military training camp at
Camp Devens, Mass.
Lieut. Comdr. Joel T. Boone, medi-
cal officer of the Mayflower, and who
has been visiting White Court daily
during the absence of DR.. Coupal
was called away today to attend the
funeral of his mother-in-law, Mrs. r.
H. Koch, at Pottsville, Pa. Dr.
Boone said today, before leaving. that
he expects to bring Mrs. Boone back
with him.
Edward T. Clark, personal secretary
to President Coolidge, who has been
on a trip to Cuba, Porto Rico and
Panama aboard an Army transport
will arrive at Swampscott tomorrow
night. He will occupy a desk in the
Presidents study at White Court for
the remainder of the latter's vacation.
President Is Restive.
Those who know the President well
say that while he is getting plenty
of rest and is thoroughly enjoying
his stay on the North Shore, he is
posed restraint and seclusion of his
Summer home, and that he intimated
that he wants to see more callers in
the future. 1t is thought that from
now on the daily calling list at White
Court will increase as the vacation
draws near it's end
Among the Presidents several call
ers yesterday afternoon were DIR.
Harry Garfield president of Williams
College and son of former President
Garfield and Mrs. Garfield. DIR. Gar
field was fuel administrator for the
Government during the war, and it is
understood that he discussed only
briefly the coal situation in this coun-
try. Before leaving he invited the
President to attend some of the dis
cussions of the institute of politics to
be held at Williams College.
Conference Held in Study.
President Coolidge held his bi-week1y
conference with the newspaper cor
respondents in his study at White
Court. Formerly he has conducted
the conferences on the lawn. in the
shade of the tall naples. The Presi-
dent stood up on one side of the large
walnut desk situated near large bay
window, giving happy view of the
lawns and flower garden.
The Presidents study is an attrac-
tive, comfortable-looking old-fashioned
room of convenient size and simple
