 CAMP PAIGN PLEDGES
Has No Intention ol Taking
 Part in Fall Politics
HANDS OFF IS HIS POLICY
Not Even Known If He Will Re- ceive Leaders During Summer Governor Smith and Wife To Call At Camp On Friday,

| At Cdnp On Friday,
 Paul Smiths, N. Y, July Is Pt- President Coolidge has no plan al present for participation in the congressional campaign this fall and in the absence of any announcement by him any references to the sub 1ect that may appear. in print should be regarded as mere suppositions. The position of the president, in the face of various published re- ports as to his political plans since he came to the Adirondacks, vas made clear at the executive offices today. Mir. Coolidge came to the of- tlces from White Pine Camp to at- tend number of government mat ters and to receive the newspaper correspondents for the second time since his arrival in the mountains.
 Whether he will enter the cam paign actively or perhaps only to the extent Of making q few address late in the campaign has been a question upon which no light has been thrown definitely either here or in Washington.
 Policy of Hands on
 For the present Mir. Coolidge had contented himself with q policy Of hands off, inasmuch as the primary contests are yet to be disposed of and his apparent vie wis that the executive should not inject himself into purely party fights.
 Whether many republican leaders will even be received by Mir Coo lldgs during his summer residence here, it was indicated will depend much upon the convenience of those leaders.
 The president does not know at present whether Senator Wadsworth of this state will come to the Adj although before he left he let the senator know that If he should be in this section he would be glad to see him. A similar invitation was given Repre- sentative Shell of this congressional district, who is chairman of the house rules committee, and a ire 1uent adviser with the president in on legislative matters.
 No Definite Plans
 No definite plans have been made for many visitors. although in a general way Mir. Coolidge expects hat there will be some from time, 0 time as there were at Swampscott turing his vacation last year. White Pine Camp is more off the beaten path of summer travel than the Massachusetts resort and for that 'eason the number who call upon he president here may be less than It Swampscott.
 It was added, that everything lere is very much to his satisfac- ion, while as for reports of swarms If mosquitoes that trouble him, he Ioes not mind them as much as he ioes on the south Portico Of the White House in Washington.
 Benefits By Vacation
 That the outdoor life is benefting he president was indicated by the on his face and hands to- | ay, a tribute to his devotion to fish | ng under the bright sun and in the l harp winds for hours at a time.
 Large routine matters have occu- | jed the chief executive thus far l dealing with government matters. ]
 He has had no definite informa- on concerning the preliminary . rmament limitation meeting at reneva, it was said, and has re- eived no official reports on that aasonable progress was being made n the laying out of agenda for
 full conference on armament linn ation at some later time.
 It is the understanding of the resident that many questions have cen agreed upon at Geneva and lat those upon which a great deal difference of opinion has develop l will be put over to the plenary ,ssions of the contemplated con. renee. Tn response to questions at the lecutive offices 1t was said Mir. oolidge had no plans for visiting le St. Lawrence river power de- elopment section and that he felt , could get proper understanding
 the St. Lawrence waterways ques- on, at least in the preliminary ages, by conferring with the en- neers who are surveying the pro- ct and by studying their maps and ports. Governor and Mrs. Smith, of New i ork. formally accepted today the of President and Mrs. ( oolidge to be their guests at | at White Pine Camp Fri I
