DRAFT COOLIDGE"
MOVE AGAIN ALIVE
Some Pennsylvania Leaders
More Definite Mard
From President.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Several of Pennsylvania Republican
leaders wish a more definite declina-
ton of the presidential nomination
from President Coolidge before they
commit themselves irreyocably to the
candidacy of Secretary Herbert Hoover.
This is the view expressed by some OF
those who attended the caucus of the
Pennsylvania delegation to the Repub-
lican national convention In Philadel-
phia Saturday Further. some Of these
leaders today are saying privately that
they do not believe President Coolidge
has finally removed himself from the
picture. Both Secretary Mellon and
senator Reed are understood 70 take
this view Of the matter.
Secretary Melons statement 20 the
delegates, declaring that Of all the cam
didates for the Republican presidential
nomination, Mr.. Hoover seemed the
best fitted, Is interpreted In the light Of
these assertions as meaning that Penn
sylvania's big delegation win support
Mr. Hoover II the President cannot be
prevailed upon TO run.
VIII the President say anything
further In regard TO the nomination
before the delegates actually 60 to
balloting IN the Kansas City conven-
tionP Most Of the party leaders have
reached the conclusion that the Presi-
dent has removed himself from con-
sideration. and that he would not
accept the nomination. But the stand
now taken by some OF the Pennsyl-
vania leaders has revived to some extent
the draft Coolidge" movement.

Hoover over the other candidates-~in-
cluding Lowden, Dawes, Curtis and Wat

Election Of the views OF many OF the
Pennsylvania delegates In fact, the
statement was made only after a con-
sultation with many Of the delegates.
Mr.. Hoover has undoubted strength In
Pennsylvania, and there are reports that
had Mr.. Mellon not said what he did,
a definite move to have the delegation
indorse Mr.. Hoover would have been
made at the caucus Saturday.
