DECLARES
INTENTION
TO PRESS
Statement Given During
Regular Conference OF
NeWspapermen.
MOVE UNEXPECTED
President Refuses Any
Comment on Reasons
For Action.

RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. q
President Coolidge announced at
the summer White House this aft
crnoon that he would not be can
didate for reelection in 1928.
The announcement was made
without warning at noon, mountain
time.
The president made only this
brief statement.
81 do not choose to run for presi-
dent in 1928"
At the regular press conference
earlier Mr.. Coolidge said he would
have "an announcement to make
at noon"
No intimation came from the tenn.
porarv White House as to what it
would be.
Indications were that the presi-
dent had waited until the market
had closed in New York so that his
statement would have no influence
upon the market.
When newspapermen assembled
in his school room office at noon
he said:
care you all here9"
The door was locked and Everett
Sanders, the presidents 8 secretary,
stood guard there.
Mr.. Coolidge held half dozen
slips of paper in his right hand.
They were folded over so that they
could not be read.
The newspapermen passed in line
before him and each received copy
of the typewriter statement.
Mr.. Coolidge's face was drawn
and serious. He did not smile to
newspapermen as he usually does.
When the statements had all been
handed out the United Press cores
pondent asked the president If he
had anything additional to say. He
merely shook his head.
Just what prompted the state-
ment at this time is problematicai.
His political position is now as
strong as it ever has been. Leaders
coming here from all parts Of the
west have assured him that people
generally were strong for him. His
stay here has been pleasant and
though he is in good health, furrow-
ed lines of worry could be noticed
some mornings around his eyes.
Major James F. Coupal, his physic-
ian, however, says his health is
much improved since he came from
Washington. 1t is known that the
apparent collapse of the Geneva
disarmament conference was a deep
disappointment to the president.
He indicated last Friday that he
had no hope that successful con
clusion could be reached at Geneva.
CT course failure of.the disarma-
ment meeting and implied warning
that Great Britain is contemplating
much larger navy then she now
has may result in curtailment OF
Mr.. Coolidge's economy program.

Manhattan. kas.. Nov. 9 Pl- Radio broadcasting of football games cuts down gate receipts. M. r. Ahnarn. director Of athletics. at the Kansas State Agricultural college believes.
 Ahearn said today 1t was his opin- ion that broadcasting was largely responsible for small crowds at nome games in which Kansas Aggie football team played this year. Only @l."l1 people paid admission to see Inc four home games.
 The Nebraska game drew the largest crowd. S.140.
 T believe hroadcasting of games has hurt attendance generally" Mr. -Ahearn said. When there was q threat Of rain and the possibility of muddy roads, people stayed at home saved their money and heard the game reports over the radio. If radio reports could be shut off with in radius of loo miles and then broadcast beyond that, I don't think attendance would be harmed. But of course that is impossible.
 eve believe that hroadcasting Is one Of the services Of our institu- tions, however and plan to continue with the air reports."

STILL FAVOR PROJECT
 FOR SOME FUTURE DATE
Mayor Weld Said to Hold View Funds Cannot Be Raised at Pres cnt-Refuse Disposal Plan Takes Place Alongside Graves of Munici pal Airport and Free Public Golf Course.

The municipal inylncrator move ment today appeared to be destined to meet the fate which has been marked out for the golf course and aviation field rograms-exclusion from the 122S-1g.g city budget.
 This prediction was freely made today when it became known that Councilman Donald l.. Bartlett of the special committee in charge of the project, does not favor appro- priating funds to construct an in clner2tor this year, and that the mayor is inclined to hold q similar View. Councilman BartietU, con- Sldered to be the prime mover in establishing such service, has not changed his view as to its adyisa bil- ity but fails 10 see where the money can be gotten without deviating from the course of economy which he feels. he said. should be pursued.
 Others in the city government 10 whom tho third ward councilman presented his arguments were won over to his views and it is expected that the incincrator committees re- port will be received and filed for future reference. but with no further action.
 This is the third Of the more i'm portant programs sponsored this year to be dropped. The airport roumittce's ooti0u an tho E,duau farm will expire before it's report can be acted upCy by the common council; the golf course movement will not be pursued farther until one can be had without taxation, and study and investigation, is consigned to the pigeon- hole.
