Coolidge Silence Lies
Thick Over RuInor

The White House remained
silent today on the question Of
President Coolidge's availability
for Republican nomination, de-
spite convention r1lmors that the
President might break silence.
There was every indication that
there viii be no statement to add
to the ''I do not choose" epigram
of last summer.
Executive office officials thought
it very doubtful that Mr.. Coolidge
through Chairman Butler, Sec
rotary Sanders, or any one else
would give the convention addi-

They were unanimous, how
ever, in their conviction that the
President was sincere when he
said that he did not wish to be
a candidate and they foresee no
change in his position.
