President Sees No Need Of Megi-
 can Intervention

Plymouth, Vt, Aug. ' R)-Politi- cal and government questions have occupied President Coolidge but lit- tie since he came here to the old family homestead for a few days visit, although both have been given his attention for brief intervals.
 With Representative Tilson of Connecticut, the republican house floor leader, he discussed yesterday general matters before Mir Tilson left for New York to open by Aug ust Is joint eastern headquarters for the republican senatorial and congressional committees. Mir Tilson said reports reaching him of the congressional campaign in the coun- try were comfortable" He will go to White Pine camp In the Adlron- dacks later to discuss the political situation more in detail with MT Coolidge.
 The Mexican situation.
 It was made known that the Pres ident considered it the duty of the United States to act in situations such as that presented by the diffl- culty between the church and the state in Mexico only if and when some action has been taken against American citizens there or some treaty rights have been contraVened.
 Reports that Soviet Russia might send a commission to this country to fund it's debt to the United States have not reached the president, put it was indicated that he feels 1t IS not necessary for the Washington government to take any action about that, If Russia wants to pay he as- sumes it will first repeal its ordl- nance repudiating the debt.
 A quiet weekend was planned by the president, who is to return to White Pine camp in the Adirondacks Monday. He will attend services to- morrow in the Union church across from his home. The sermon will be preached by the Rev. Albert E. Fisher. of Paterson, N. J.

HELEN WILLS ALSO
 SUFFERS DEFEAT
Loses to Miss Ryan-DaVlS
 Team Now Is Uncertain

Sea Bright, N J., Aug. LP-An amazing series of tennis reversals,
 climaxed yesterday by straight set victory for Elizabeth Ryan over
 Helen Wills in the final of the wo-
 mems singles, has threatened the reign of two national titleholders and Americas successful defense ot
 the international Davis cup.
 Sharing significance with MISS , Wills defeat at 6-4, G-1, and Its , bearing on her attempt to defend the national title during the week of Aug. 16. was an atmosphere Of uncertainty thrown around selection
 of the cup defense team by the un- expected downfall of William T. Til- den, R. Norris Williams and William NJ. Johnston in less than a week. The early elimination of Williams and Johnston in the singles or the Seabright tournament, which marked their initial appearances Of the current season in the east, has deprived both players of competi- tion which they admit would have
 been beneficial in preparing them
 for the Davis cup tryouts next week. Williams, who went down to de- i feat before an unranked collegian, Lionel Ogden of Stanford university, i has been brilliant but cratic in his | doubles play as partner of Vincent
 Richards, while Johnston appears to ! have been benefited by playing alongside Edward c. Chandler in the team events. With the two Davis cup veterans striving to round into championship form, Til- den has forsaken the stage tempo rarily to play here in both the mems and mixed doubles, but it has re- ! mained for Vincent Richards, | fourth member of America's "big 1 four" to encourage American tennis
 followers in their hope for success ful defense of the trophy. ] By defeating Manuel Alonso of
 Spain in the final round of the sin gles here yesterday, 62, 10-S, 6-2, | the young internationalist demon strated conclusively that he has at-
 tained the peak of his brilliant vol leying game. Coupled with his con l quest of Tilden last Sunday in the
 metropolitan title final, the victory was considered by critics as making Richards strong candidate for one
 of the singles positions on the de- 1 fending team.
 Richards triumph gave him sec
 ond leg on the Seabright bowl.
 Observers here were inclined to accept the defeat of Miss Wills as strong indication that her crown is
 far from secure. Miss Ryan, who
 ranked No. ? year ago, proved to
 a large gallery that she is prepared to launch formidable challenge
 nine days hence tor the crown held
 by the youthful champion.
 In her impressive triumph yester- day she surpassed Miss Wills in both baseline and net play, while her
 spectacular recoveries left few open
 ings for drivers which did not ap- pear to carry the pace and direc-
 ton of Helen at her best:
 Miss Ryan scored her victory,
 moreover, under conditions more i those of year ago, when a damp
 court provided an ideal surface for
 her sharply sliced and low-skidding chop strokes, Yesterday the turf
 was comparatively dry and Miss
 Wills announced at the conclusion
 of the match that she had no ex-
 cuses to offer for her defeat.

it than the air of the Adirondacks. One can exert oneself more with less apparent fatigue here he feels.
 The reason for bridges being cov- cred in this northern country which has puzzled some of the presidents party has occasioned comment from him. The bridges are covered, he explained, as a measure of weather protection. Not only snow in winter but rain in warmer seasons is kept from the wooden structures and their life is thereby greatly pro- longed.
 He believes the wooden bridges are in some ways preferable to iron structures, for when they weaken, they give warning by creaking.

Herb Lyle, proprietor of the

the automobile industry.
Lyle, with a then youthful part

days around 1900, raced his own
cars, which astounded the world
with a speed of five and six miles
per hour. While Lytle, in a little
barn shop in Detroit, was building
his first racing car, only a block
away was Henry Ford. his friend,
