COOLIDGE VACATION
PLANS MATURING
Announcement of Summer
Capital Expected-May Be
Located in AdirondaCkS.

Associates Of the President at the
ment from him within the next few
days of his plans for his Summer va
cation While discussing the matter
with friends during the past few days
the President has intimated that he
soon will reach n decision as to the
spot where he will establish the Sum-
mer White House and the date upon
which he will leave Washington.
The feeling about the White House
is that the President is inclined to
go to the Lake Champlain region,
more preferably on the New York
side. He has been greatly attracted
by several offers of homes in this
section and has been represented as
saying any once of them would suit
his purpose and his fancy.
The two or three places that par
ticularly appeal to him and Mrs. Cool
idge are situated in the Adirondacks
So keen has been the Presidents In
terest in these places that he has
asked for some further details. In this
connection one attache of the White
House force has gone to the lake re-
gion to inspect the places under con-
sideration.
II Has DCtIL AItbAIAldNCo tIASLN Vic Oh
these places in which the President is
interested is about 80 miles north of
Saranac Lake.
The President has indicated that he
wants to get away from Washington
as early IN June as Is possible. He is
scheduled to make an address In
Philadelphia July and it is thought
that he will go North Immediately
afterward. 1t is thought by some
about the White House that when the
presidential party leaves Washington
to go to Philadelphia it will have ar
ranged - continue on to the vacation
spot without returning to the Capt.
tai
1t is the hope of the President that
he will b" able to obtain a good rest
this Summer It was principally with
this object in view that he looked
elsewhere than the north shore OF
Massachusetts and other attractive
spots in New England. With the
congressional and State campaigns
being waged this Summer the Presi
dent feared that there would be toe
great a demand made upon his time
II he set up the Summer Capital In
iis nome state. There is feeling
though, that the President may make
one or two brief trips to Massachu
SettS before returning in the Fall to
Washington. There is a report cur
rent among those familiar with MasSa
chusetts politics that the President
will make these one or two journeys
TO the Bay State principally in the
interest of Senator Butler of MaSsa
chusetts. chairman of the Republican
national committee, who is a candi
date to succeed himself in the Sen
ate. and others of the Republican con
gressional delegation who are facing
some opposition The belief Is that II
the President does go to Massa
chusetts before the November elec
tions he Will make a speech.
At the White House no credence II
given to these reports. 1t is contend
ed that the President has on more
than one occasion intimated very
clearly that he has not the sl1ghtes,
intention of taking any personal par
in this campaign, either in Massachu
setts or elsewhere.
1t is thought that the President viii
not return to Washington from his
vacation until late in September.
The President had a small company
Of Senators as his guests at another
White House breakfast conference
this morning. There were 10 guests
and. according to the Senators them
selves and the President, nothing o.
any great moment was discussed. The
| White House explained that the affail
| was more or less social one, ant
| what Government business was dis
| cussed was done so in casual man
ner and came up only incidentally.

were Senators Borah Of Idaho. Fess
Ohio; Dale, Vermont: Oddie. Nevada
Gillett, Massachusetts; Shortridge

Indiana, with whom he discussed
railroad and radio regulation legisla
ton; Senators Harris and George o
Georgia, who called to present a pei
| sonal matter; Senators Ernst ant
Sackett of Kentucky, who called IL
the interest Of patronage, and Sena
tor Deneen. Gov. Harrington Of Ha
wall, who has been in the Capita
