This is similar to the meth ods he has used here. which have in eluded mail polls. checks of voters by meter readers, and similar elab- crate straw votes.
 Dispatches from San Francisco last night said there was no eyi- dence to connect either Harrington or other Seattle men with the illegal voting machine "peeking.

PRESIDENT INITIATES
 THAT HE WILL REFUSE
 TO BE DRAFTED TO RUN
However Definite Statement Is Lacking. - Financial Interests Fear a Slump in Case Coolidge Definitely Refuses to Run.

WASHINGTON - Arthur Sears Henning in a dispatch to the ehica- go Tribune reports startling reeru- denee of movement for draft of President Coolidge and to force him 10 run for reelection. which his foes will charge is third term. Develop ments in the last few days have re- viTsd the Coolidge boom and re- stored him to the center Of the stage regardless of hIs famous declaration. "I 10 not choose 10 run Most Of gossip revoIYes around NewYork Re publican leaders who are said to have held a series of conferences with the big business of Wall Street. all of whom feel that Coolidge must be renominated not only to save the Republican party. but to avert serious business slump. New Workers openly say that Coolidge is the only man who can beat Al Smith fl the Democrats nominate him. Low den nor Hoover could fire the enthu- siasm of voters. The hope Of the leaders rests in the belief that Cool idge will not refuse to be drafted although he does not choose to run.
 WASHINGTON = For the second time within two months President Coolidge deprecated reports that he will be drafted as Republican nom- inee Tor president in 1928. Inform cd of the movement to gather 9 chain of petitions asking him to run again next year President Coolidge expressed the hope that the move ment will be abandoned. and said he did not think 1t would amount to anything. President Coolidge failed to elarify the meaning Of his Do not choose to run statement, how ever. his rebuke to those circulating the petitions was interpreted in some quarters as an indication that he will refuse to be drafted, but def mite statement Is lacking. The President had already made clear in conversation with Senator Fess that he did not appreciate talk of his be- ing drafted by a deadloeked Repub- lican convention. It was regarded as certain that such talk was thorough ly discountenanced in the White House. Even those closest to Pres ident. however. deny that they have received any enlightenment on his choose" aYowal.

One of the outstanding accom- pHshments of the Guitea states Coast and Geodetie Survey during the past year was the Photographic work done in southeastern Alaska, accord ing to the annual report of Colonel E. Lester Jones, Director. which was issued today. The report covers the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1927.
 Another outstanding accomplish ment. the report states, was the sur vey work done along the Oregon and Washington coasts.
 Colonel Jones in his report says:
 In southeastern Alaska, the sur vey ship Surveyor obtained over 20.o0o soundings and fully surveyed an area of 1,255 square miles along the outside coast. extending as far north as Lituya Bay. This was an original survey Of the area inYoly- ing triangulaJion control. topogra- phy, and inshore hydrography along the shore as We'll as oIIsnore hy- biography. The party on the Sur veyor completed a survey Of the coast of southeastern Alaska from the international boundary at Dixon Entrance to Lituya Bay.
 This illustrates what can be done by modern survey ships and by the new methods which have been ldoDled in recent years. Not only is the work being done more eco nomically than ever before, but the Government is giving to all the maritime interests much-needed charts and other nautical data that are alone responsible for the reduc- tion in loss of life and property at sea
 The report states that it is planned to complete the compilation of seven new charts of Alaskan wa ters during the present year, and to reconstruct two other Alaska charts, in conformity with the latest sur yey data.
 Detailing the activities of the Survey in Alaska during the fiscal year, Colonel Jones says.
 Surveys begun during the pre- vious year in southeastern Alaska Were completed in the following To- calities: Port Alexander. Pybus Bay. Kaigani Strait, and Port Refugio. In various sections of the main ship channels supplemental wire-drae examinations were finished Addi- tional surveys We're completed in Red Bluff Bay, Warm Spring Bay. Tebinkof Bay, Gedney Harbor Port Lucy, Port Herbert, Deep Cove, Pat terson Bay, in Chatham Strait off Cape Ommaney, along Baronof Is land from Point Merbert to Point Patterson. and along Kuiu Island from Point Harris to Point Ellis. 4 base line of second-order accuracy was measured near Killisnoo.
 The survey previously inaugural ed on the outer coast was extended from Cross Sound 10 Lituya Bay and offshore for fifty miles to depths of 1,0Q0 fathoms, including the locaz tion of all fishing banks in that area. This work completes the orig inal survey of the outer coast of southeastern Alaska"
