PRESIDENT MAY
LOSE VACATION
Press of Business Likely to
Prevent Trip.

BH ScripDs- Hoic1rd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, July 7.-Presi-
dent Hoover has about decided to
forego his western trip this sum-
mer.
This decision, which lacks Of
fetal confirmation, has been learned
through unofficial sources. The press
of the nations business, piling up
upon his desk, is given for the
change of plans. Not even the con-
templated trip to Mexico now is in
the presidential program.
The proposed tour through the
Yellowstone, Yosemite and other
western national parks, it is said,
has been abandoned. While the
plans may undergo changes, 1t is
said any extended vacation may be
considered definitely off.
The President probably will re-
main at his desk through the sum-
mer months and take his relaxation
through weekend fishing trips to
his summer camp on the Rapidan.
Many things have accumulated in
the Presidents file Of unfinished
business. The reorganization of
the power commission; the patching
of political fences, in connection
with which comes the troublesome
