without great conflict or suffering oy
the people.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2, R-Presi-
dent Coolidge's announcement that
he did not choose to run for preSl-
dent in 1928 created sensation IN
Wall Street, but came too late TO
have any influence on the STOCK mar
ket which had closed for the DAY
when the news became known.
Bankers and brokers generally eX-
pressed surprise that the announce
ment had been made, particularly at
this time, but NOSE of them with
held comment. Wall Street generally
did not anticipate that national pol
itics would become a market FACTOR
until around the end OF the year.
and the feeling on the whole has
been that President Coolidge would
again be candidate.
c. E. Mitchell, president OF the
National City Bank, in signed
statement, said:
Throughout his career, President
Coolidge has promised himself the
servant Of the people; he has sensed
their will and has obeyed it. His
personal choice, according to his
statement, is not to run for another
term. But what is the choice OF the
people in this regard? May not that
be the controlling factor?'
President Coolidge's statement came
almost on the third anniversary OF the
beginning of the so-called Coolidge
market" which has been on the up
grade, with few interruptions, since
the summer of 1924. At the close OF
the market today, both the rail and
industrial averages had established
new high records. The rapidity of the
recent advance is believed, in some
quarters, however, to have weakened
the technical position of the market,
leaving it vulnerable to an expected
news development such as the Cool
idge announcement

with failure.
Despite this new move, however,
it was said in responsible quarters
tonight that the spectre OF failure
failure which, as a prospect, has
genuinely alarmed responsible men
of many countries Should not yet
be deemed definitely avoided. Yet,
from the American standpoint, at
least, the Japanese plan to save the
conference is said to appear after
closer study to include many attrac.
tive features worthy of being treated
as a basis for negotiation.
Mr.. Gibson cabled the text of the
proposal to Washington today, to.
gether with his own views and COM
nent. Furthermore, w. G. Bridge
man, chief British delegate, who got
the plan from Admiral Saito and Vis-
count Ishii soon after they had sub
mitted it to Mr.. Gibson, has tele-
graphed it to London. 1t is said
that Mr.. Bridgefnan believes the sug-
gestion to be of SO important a
nature as to justify its consideration
by the British cabinet.
When the Japanese employed the
expression "an idea" in giving the
formula to MIR. Gibson they meant
what they said. They explained that
they quite realized it was entirely
imperfect, and said they hoped Mr..
Gibson would feel free to make any
notifications OF any comment he
desired.
They told Mr.. Bridgeman the same
thing. The Japanese delegates said,
however, that they thought the idea
had fundamentally something to be
said for it.
The text of the formula has not
been published, but the correspond
ent of the Associated Press under
stands that the essence of the Jap
anese project is this:
1T provides for the maintenance of
the status quo, so far as cruiser
strength is concerned, both for Great
Britain and Japan, and gives the
United States an opportunity to
"catch up with them in powerfully
armed and armored cruisers.
The proposal declares that Great
Britain and Japan shall cease, up
to 1881, from any building of large
cruisers beyond those already author
lied. It fixes the number of 10000
ton cruisers to be built up to 1881
at IL for Great Britain and the
United States and eight for Japan
This proposal is being closely exa-
mined to see if it means that Great
/ Britain and Japan can only carry
out 'their built and building pro-
grams and not their projected pro-
grams If it does mean this, it Is
said, that presumably it contains mat
ter of considerable interest to
Americans.
| Under this Interpretation the built
and building" would then constitute
the total tonnage limitation for
Great Britain and Japan up to 1881,
and in the case of Great Britain it
is estimated that it would bring
the British naval total well under
100000 TONS.
This is the figure the Americans
gave the British and Japanese to
understand few weeks ago that they
would be willing to go to as max.
imum in order to reach an agree
rnent.

sine for the trip to the summer White
House.
The usual crowd of tourists stood
waiting with feelings no one knows. A
moment before they had witnessed Is
| neWSpapernen dash out of the build
ing as if it might be on fire and they
probably we're in that state when one
is so surprised that he cannot move or
ask questions.
Soon, however, the president and
Senator Capper came out, Mr.. Cool
idge still smiling broadly and as he
stepped into his automobile, and sank
back into the cushions, he continued
to be greatly amused apparently over
the CONSERVATION he had caused
among his newspaper friends.
Such was the dramatic fashion, even
spectacular by contrast with the sim
ple manner by which it was disclosed
that an outstanding story was given
to the country.
| Barring condolences, which seem un-
likely, the presidents intentions were
unknown to all up to noon today eX-
cept himself and his confidential
stencgrapher, Edwin Geiser. The later
was called into Mr. Coolidge'S room
shortly before IL o'clock and instruct
ed to type the message, which Mr.
tCoolidge dictated, on the sufficient
number of slips.
/ How long the president had under
consideration the course he pursued
today doubtlessly will not be disclosed
unless he chooses to discuss the Incl
1 dent with his friends. That he waited
purposely until today seems logical as
he has leaned toward sentiment be-
fore.
This was the day on which he closeo
four years in the White House ano
not long before his statement was
given out the high marks that his adj
ministration had left with the country
had been discussed at the summer
White House.
It was generally regarded that Mr.
Coolidge's statement would have some
thing to do with the troubled Geneva
| naval armament conference but tho
announcement which came forth was
destined to push the happenings a.
that meeting completely into the back
ground.
Rarely has the president been in
more genial mood thar he was today
Tt was recalled, before his terse state
ment shunted all other things aside
that the four years in the presidenc!
which went into history today were
felt by Mr.. Coolidge to have beer
singled out by peace with the nations
of the world and by tranquility a
home.
It was said that the president re
called no commercial o. ''--~-'o'01 de

tions in the national debt and con
siderable cuts in federal taxation.

MORE STOCK IS
SOLD IN HOTEL:
PLANS STARTED

E. w. Graves, chairman of the board
of directors of the Douglas community
hotel, reported yesterday that plans
for the building of the hotel are go
ing ahead as rapidly as can be ex-
pected. At the present time the archi-
tect Carleton M. Winslow, is drawing
the plans and is in consultation with
Mr.. Hamilton, head of the Hamilton
hotel system, who is to operate the
new hotel
When these plans are completed
they will be studied by the board of
directors here and by the heads of
the hotel chain and Of the Hockenbury
system. Chairman Graves said, Be
fore single penny is spent toward
the actual construction of the hotel it
will be definitely established that the
hotel will be built for the sum of
money appropriated This is being
done to make it impossible for any
funds after the project is actually
started"
The incorporation papers have been
drawn up and are now awaiting the
signatures of several of the board
members who are at present out of
town. AS soon as these men have
signed the papers they will be sent in
Collection of the first installment on
the stock is moving rapidly and late
yesterday check of figures and lists
at the headquarters at the First Ma
tional Bank indicated that within a
week or ten days almost all of the
first payments will be in the treasury
Officials in charge of the collections
on the stock said yesterday that they
were certain now that almost every
stock purchaser will live up to his
contract as at the present time SO
great percentage have already paid
in that the indications are excellent.
A further indication of the excellent
investment features of the enterprise
came to light yesterday with the re-
ceipt of check covering the full pur-
chase price of thousand dollars
worth of the stock. This came from
Otto Kelsey of GeneSeo, New York,
who had previously purchased one
share of the stock and yesterday sent
in $500 additional so that he is credit
ed with ten shares paid in full. This
deal was handled through the man
dSCulCllG VI GIlS DdT " IdIlCIl III GIlc
Gleeson district at which place Kelsey
spent some time during last winter.
Harry G.. Kendall is the manager of
the Bar O ranch and is credited with
having notified Kelsey of the excellent
opportunity to invest.
That the new community hotel at
Flagstaff, financed exactly as the
Douglas hotel has been is very eX-
cellent investment, is proven by a let
ter received at hotel headquarters here
from the Hockenbury system. This
letter states that the Flagstaff hotel,
opened January 1, started paying on
April l. The president and directors
of the Flagstaff hotel state that they
are certain that at the end of the first
year of operation, after paying all ex-
penses including the interest on the
bonded indebtedness that hotel will
still pay.seven per cent on the stock.
Keen business men here who are in
close touch with the situation both in
Flagstaff and in Douglas state that
there is no reason to think that the
new hotel will not do as well if not
better in it's first year.

In Men S Singles by
Winning First Match

SEABRIGHT, NJ. j., Aug. 2 N)--
William L. Tilden opened play in
the mems singles for the Seabright
bowl here today by losing the first
set ST to James Quick, of Dallas,
Texas, only to take the next two and
the match in a whirlwind finish. The
score was ST., 7-5, 60.
For a second match Tilden donned
spikes as the court was drier. There
too he chose to save his best tennis
until near the end. He doWned
Arnold jones' of Providence, II. l..
7-5, Ga, to enter the third round
where tomorrow he meets Jerry Lang,
of New York.
AS TIlden left the court some OBJ
servers noted a slight limp which
led to question about the condi-
ton of his left knee, which has
given him trouble. Tilden declined
to answer for publication, although
he has been quick to declare the
knee in good shape.
A feature of today's play was
elimination of the runner up to Tilden
in the national ranking, Manuel
Alfonso, by Fritz Mercur, former
Lehigh player, who won in straight
sets, 6-3, &C. Mercur's chop stroke
had the former Spanish Davis cup
player guessing throughout
BY his victory Mercur won the
right to meet George Lott, Chicago,
who today eliminated Watson Wash
burn, former Davis cup defender. A
popular favorite to fall in the second
round was John Doeg, Is year old
Californian, who went down fighting
before Lewis NJ White, Austin, Texas,
No. 6 in the national ranking.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2 GA con-
ference Of the members of the Cali
fornia Colorado river commission and
others most directly interested in the
Boulder dam project will be held to-
morrow in the board room of the water
and power department.
The discussion will be preparatory
to the conference with the Arizona
commission Thursday at Phoenix,
which has been arranged for through
Governor C. G.. Young.
Those who will go to Phoenix are
Former Mayor John L. Racon of San
Diego, president, and Earl G. Pound of

Mathews of Los Angeles, members of
the commission; Mark Rose, director,
and Charles, l.. Childers, attorney for
Imperial irrigation district, and
Thomas A. Painter, electrical engineer
of the bureau of power and light.
It is expected that the conference
at Phoenix will be informal and prob
ably will take the form of trying to
arrive at partial understanding that
will increase the chances of the gov
ernors' conference at Denver working
out an agreement by all the Colorado
river basin states on the Colorado
river problem.
The tentative date fixed for the
Denver conference is August Is.

republicans that the third term issue
would not hold in Mr.. Coolidges case.
On the other hand, there have been
announcements that an effort would
be made to have congress go on re-
cord as opposed to third term, and
this argument had been supported
vigorously by some of the insurgent
republicans ~
Regardless of what led Mr.. Cool
idge to issue his statement at this
time, or the interpretations which
are being placed upon it, those of his
friends who professed to know most
about the thoughts that have been
passing through his mind as the
campaign nears agreed that he full
filled well his traditional silence by
giving no advance notice of today's
developments.
Political followers Of the admins
tration have time and time again
journeyed to the White House in an
effort to draw the president out on
the subject of another term, only to
come away empty handed. Many had
come to the conclusion that no pub
lie expression from him was to be
expected prior to the 1923 convention
and that he would allow developments
to control the situation
Mr.. Coolidge's close friends have
insisted that he run again, and have
toM him repeatedly that the nomina-
tion would be obtained for him. Some
of these friends tonight were those
who were convinced that he was far
from eliminated by his statement of
today.
Attorney General Sargent, who has
known the president perhaps longer
than any other high official in the
administration, had this to say: II
have no comment" A symposium of
official administration utterances
would not be very dissimilar to his
brief utterance. 1t was indicated that
neither Mr.. Sargent nor Secretary
Kellogg had any advance information
that statement of any kind was
forthcoming today from the Black
Hills.
But, while many high officials
were unwilling to commit themselves
today, tonight there was much gos-
siping in the inner circles over the
new turn which had been given to the
American political machine, and to
the developments that it might
bring about within the next few
months hs-developments which none
here cared to forecast publicly
