Mr.. Hoover. however stated definite
yive the inaugural ball, the military
parade and other. features which have
made inaugurations of. the past ex-

elaborate than the ceremonies that
have attended the inaugurations of
Presidents Wilson, Harding and Cool

exceptional interest in the inauguration
ceremony.
The ceremonies will be broadcast, he
said.
