The American delegation has been
very carefully chosen by President
Coolidge. The President has made
il apparent that. aside from his speech
at the opening OF the congress. he Is
content tn give the delegation more
or less free hand. Naturally the Pres

that President Coolidge's going to
Havana on this occasion was a Splen.

tona Beach. which was reached early
in the morning. Large crowds
gathered for glimpse of the presi-
Dental train.

At New Smyrna there was a stop
Of 10 minutes, principally for the
purpose of taking on a fresh supply
OF ice and water. An ununiformed
hand of five ar six pieces grouped on
the station platform loudly heralded
the approach OF the train. and this
was augmented by cheering and way.
