President Lands
Elusive Camefish
On Moonlight Trip
Rare Montana Crawling
Gives Him Thrill i'm
Nocturnal Battle.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG,
STAFF Correspondent OF The Star.

CEDAR ISLAND LODGE, Brule
River, Wisconsin, August 29.-Presi-
dent Coolidge has at last achieved his
ambition to land a Montana grayling,
considered here the most difficult of all
fish to catch. The President is as proud
as boy over the feat.
The President made the catch in the
Brule by moonlight last night, and it
is doubtful If he was ever before more
excited over anything. He was still talk
ing about his achievement today. A
hard rain this morning kept the Presi-
dent from returning to the section
where he hooked the grayling last night.
Catching grayling is really some
thing to be proud Of According to
experts, the swiftness and gameness of
these fish, along with their small, ten
der mouths, make them the hardest to
land.
The President has had several of
them slip away from him after striking.
Cravings have long since disappeared
from these waters. The 10-inch fellow
caught by the President was one of so
turned loose in the Brule several weeks
ago by Mr.. Lambert, superintendent of
the Cedar Island estate, who has been
raising graylings in the private hatch
cry on the estate.
The President is not permitting his
fishing to overshadow his interest in
politics. He is constantly receiving ad-
vices from friends regarding the cam
paign. During the past two days he
has listened to Secretary Of Interior
West. Republican national committee
man from Illinois; Senator Capper of
Kansas, and former Senator Lenroot
Of Wisconsin
Tomorrow Charles B. Warren, former
ambassador to Mexico and Republican
national committeeman from Michigan,
will be guest at the Summer White
House. Walter F. Brown, Assistant Sec
retary of Commerce and one Of the Re-
publican leaders in northern Ohio, viii
visit the President next Friday. Eu-
gene Meyer, jr.. chairman Of the Farm
Loan Board, Is scheduled to arrive Sat-
urday to spend the week end.

GOV. SMITH,
TO VISIT STATEFA|R
Will Return to Albany Tomor-
row--May Announce
itinerary Soon.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, August 29.-Gov. Alfred
E. Smith, with members Of his family
and a few friends left here today for
Syracuse to visit the State fair. He
will go TO Albany tomorrow, remaining
at the executive mansion until after
Labor day.
The governors daughter. Mrs. John
Adams Warner is en- route to Hot
Springs, Ark, for Senator Joe T. Rob-
inson's notification of his nomination
for Vice President.
After week of arduous attention to
his responsibilities as Democratic presi-
Dental nominee. Smith today stepped
back into his role as Governor of New
York. and will play the part, unless
something unforeseen occurs in the
meantime until he decides which one
Of three rough drafts of his speaking
itinerary is acceptable.
He had an engagement to attend
tonight the annual farm dinner" given
by Jerome D. Barnum, publisher of the
Syracuse Post-Standard Tomorrow he
will make his yearly visit TO the State
fair.
Plans Brief Speech.
He plans to say a few words at the
Barnum dinner, but not along national
political lines In emphasizing his rea-
son for this, the Democratic presidential
candidate likes to refer to last years
experience when, he says. there were
only two Democrats present and he was
one of them.
Indications today were that Gov.
Smith would have something definite to
say regarding his proposed stumping
tour of the country by the end of next
week at the latest, probably by Labor
day. He has no plans for that holiday,
nor has he made any engagements be-
tween his Syracuse dates and next
Monday. He expects to spend quiet
week end, but may go In for a little
gof, as he did here yesterday with his
friend William r. Kenny Campaign
duties are to be forgotten, as far as the
public is concerned
Prefers to Speak Indoors.
Reiterating his determination to
avoid speaking out of doors as much as
possible when he begins his swing
around the country. Gov Smith told
newspaper men that the only reason he
broke this rule Monday night at New
ark was because a large crowd had
waited several hours TO see and cheer
him. He has adopted the principle that
1t does not pay In the game of politics
to disappoint crowds such. as that
which gave him noisy send-off In
Newark.
TITS disappointing to a crowd to
have them waiting around for you for
several hours" he says. "and then to
tell them only how much you think
OF them. They don't fall for that sort
Of talk. There is nothing so deadly for
all concerned as saying nothing. The
people simply go away saying, Our al
derman could do better than that.
