Washington, Nov. f Pl-Nysteri- ous rumors. which have been float ing into Washington the past three days to the effects that President Coolidge was about to amplify his statement that he did not choose to run in 1928, finally began 10 pene- trate into the White House itself, but there was no indication they had any foundation.
 The reports have filtered in from New York, Chicago and other pop- ulous ccnters. always with the stip- ulation that Mr. Coolidge's action would be taken after the close of the market
 The rumors gained such wide cir Culation here that finally they re- suited i'll numerous telephone calls to the White House from business cir Clos and members of congress. The first report to reach the executive offices was from Wall street sources which declared that the president would announce after the closing of the stock market that he would con- sent to become q candidate.
 The second report from d similar source said Mr. Coolidge would an nounce definitely in his Philadelphia speech November 17 before the Union league that he would not ac- ccpt the nomination if it were tend cred him. The third rumor credited the president with an intention of HcceptlDg inc Chdirm1 nShiD of tho Tinted States corporations board of directors upon the expiration of his present term.
