routine business seems to be far more
important TO him than the speculation
as TO his state Of mind and his attitude
toward the nomination
The rumor about the message Secre-
tary Sanders is supposed TO be taking
to the convention has not been denied
at the White House. Neither has it
been confirmed.
Mr.. Sanders only comment about his
going to Kansas City was that he had
not missed convention in a good many
years, and that he wanted to be on
hand for this one, even though he Is
not delegate He viii 60 from Kansas
City to Wisconsin to Join the President
May Halt Mention of Name.
Regardless of this noncommittal at
titude ON the part OF the White House
speculation continues. The Capital is
alive with 1t. There Is no doubt but
what the general opinion among po-
Ntical observers in Washington yeSter-
day was that President Coolidge is 90
ing to have something to say before
the convention gets very far under way.
The reports are that IL will be sprung
at the right moment, just in time TO
prevent his name being in any OF the
roll calls.
Aside from these rumors about the
President sending a message eliminat-
ing himself definitely and completely.
there are those to the effect that the
President is not going TO send any such
word: that while he prefers to retire at
the end of his term he would not re-
fuse the nomination II ii came To him
unsolicited. This form Of speculation
ernanates from that disconsolate Re-
Dtiblican group poDularly known as
Coolidge die-hards." Despite the Pres
ident's repeated announcements re-
il0uncing another term. and the sharp
manner in which he has rebuked those
well meaiIsng individuals who have per-
sisted in trying To start the ball roll
ing for a real draft Coolidge move
ment, there are still some people left
who believe. or ut least try 10 make
themselves believe. that Mr.. Coolidge
Is going TO change his mind and per-
NIT himself 70 be persuaded 10 become

these die-hards are accepted merely as
expressions Of hope rather than any
thing based on knowledge OF what Is

HOOVER FACES
LARGE TASKS
To Prepare Address,
Map Policies And
Name Cabinet

ABOARD U. s. S. UTAH, Dec. 2s.-
Rl-With the labors Of his presi-
Dental campaign and his goodwill
trip through Latin-America behind
him, Herbert Hoover faces another
strenuous period during the less
than two months which remain be-
fore his Inauguration.
The president-elect has before
him the selection of his cabinet, the
mapping Of the policies Of his admin
istrstion and the preparation Of his
inaugural address. To write this
address, one of the most importf "
Of his career, which he will deliver
at his Inauguration March 1, Mr..
Hoover will Fo from Washington to
Florida in the middle of January 70
take up his residence on the quiet
Penney estate on an island near
Miami.
Mr.. Hoover naturally has been Civ
ing his thoughts TO his cabinet. but
IL he has made any definite selec-
TORS he has kept them entirely to
himself. Even his closest advisors
on the Latin American tour assert
he has given no indication Of his
appointments.
The general belief Is. however.
that Secretary Mellon will remain as
the head Of the treasury department
and possibly ono other member Of
the cabinet of President Coolidge
will be retained.
II was stated today that Mr.. Hoov-
er will make no effort during his
stay in the national canital 10 in
fluencs legislation pending before
the present session of congress and
that the calling Of sn extra session
Of congress depends upon what the
present short session does especially
with respect 10 farm legislation.
The president elect is continuing
10 rest aboard the Utah after his
strenuous activities ard arduous
trips through Central and South
America. He already is showing less
