BUTLER TO SOUND
 REPUBLICAN PLANS
May Determine Possible Site for
 1928 Convention
SEES COOLIDGE NOMINATION
Twenty Leaders Accept Invitations to Attend His Pow WOW in Wash. ington Hotcl-To Confer with Executive Later.

! Washington. Oct. (UP)--A re- publican party pow-Wow will be held here this week by William M Butler close friend of Presiden; Coolidge and chairman of the re- publican national committee.
 Butler wants to find out the atti- tude of national committeeman over the country upon the question of a site for the 1925 republican national convention and also con- corning the reaction to MT. Cool ldge's statement that he does not choose to be a candidate.
 The republican chairman has in- dicated his belief that Mir. Coolidge will be drafted and this possibility is expected to play an important part in the discussions.
 Butler arrived last night and made reservations at a downtown hotel instead of going to the White House where he sometimes stays. His conferences with the commit | teemen drifting in from various sections are expected 10 require his | attention during the whole week and his secretary has indicated that he probably will drop in 10 see Mir. Coolidge at the earliest convenient
 moment.
 The chairman has not seen Mir. Coolidge since the president went to the Black Hills more than three months ago and was not consulted by the president before the "choose'' statement was issued from Rapid City. Since that statement, however, Butler has let it be known he thinks Mir. Coolidge should and will be nominated anyway. In surveys made over the couRtry. a majority Of leaders have expressed the opin- ion that MT. Coolidge. had elimi- mated himself.
 Among the first conferees on the schedule are Mrs. 4. T. Hert of Louisville, Ky, and George Dean of Florida. Dean is in town and Mrs Hert is expected before night. Charles D. Hllics of New York is expected down about Wednesday, and others are to troop in from time to time. About 20 have indi- cated they will accept Buffers gen. eral invitation for personal meet ing
 Little Change in Site Contest
 There has been little change in the contest over the convention site recently. The fact that Mir. Coolidge has chosen to retire and that Sec retary of Commerce Hoover of California has been mentioned as g. prominent candidate, have hurt the chances Of San Francisco. Many party leaders have expressed an un- Willingness to go to any state which has a prominent favorite son.
 Carmi Thompson of Ohio has in- formed Butler he will talk to him about prospects for taking the con vention to Cleveland. Detroit, Chi cago, Denver, Kansas City and St. Louis are also in the race. Solcc- uon will not be made until the com mittec meets here in December.

HEAVY REMINGTON VOTE
About 300 Votes Cast up to Noon More Than Is Frequently Cast During Entire Day.

Newington, Oct. 3 - Up to 12 o'clock this noon about 300 votes had been cast in the Newington town election. This is considered remarkable since. in the case of only town election such as this Is, many times the total number of votes cast all day has not greatly exceeded 300. About 100 votes were east between 6 and z o'clock this morning.
 The cause for this large number bf votes is the fact that there are several independent candidates try Ing for positions. The positions over which the warmest battles are be- Ing waged are the school commit lee and the town plan commission.
