SPHINX-LIKE, CAL SEES, SAYS, HEARS NOTHING Some Think So, but White House Pancake Palaverer Isn’t Dumb. Bu Times Special ■ WASHINGTON, June 4.—Calvin .Coolidge’s lips may be sealed to third term talk, but his ears are not. Nobody gets more enjoyment out of listening to Republican politicians clamoring for "another term for Coolidge’’ than the silent man in the White House. Politics aside —though they rarely Bre in Washington—the undemonstrative Vermonter is represented by Jthose who pass as members of the jWhite House circle as keenly alive and interested in the third-term gossip buzzing about his ears. No Question . The'President’s friends insist there ;is no question of a third term involved in the possibility he may run ’again. To them another four years in the White House would constitute only a second term. It is not known whether Coolidge subscribes to this view. He probably does-—privately. It is known, however, that in his own quiet way, he gets a "kick” out of the political puzzle which he embodies. He knows, of course, that some of the loudest shouters are not quite sincere; that they are just climbing aboard bis band wagon; and that they will hop off again if somebody else develops a model with more pulling power. But, after all allowances are made for the insincerity of politicians who owe their political lives to the man whose ears they are trying to tingle with their endorsements, it must warm a man’s heart to hear influential figures demanding he run again for the presidency * of the United States. Coolidge, in this respect, is said to be as human as the average office holder. He reads avidly every last line of newspaper speculation on his plans. He shows no impatience toward those who want him to commute for the presidency. His most recent luncheon guest was the man who is directing the third term chorus —Charles D. Hilles, New York national committeeman. See Advantage He also realizes the political advantage in the situation. The prospect that he may occupy the driver’s seat four more years will go a long way toward suppressing rebellion in the next Congress, with its almost vanishing G. O. P. majority in the Senate. Lastly, the uncertainty lends mystery to the Coolidge administration and gives a touch of drama to the most undramatic man in American public life. MACK DENIES DEAL WITH DETROIT TEAM Rumors Say Athletics Seek Blue or Neun for First.

GHOSTS OF 1912 HAUNT SLEEP OF THIRD-TERM MAN Coolidge Backers Who Talked Against Roosevelt Now Up a Tree. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, June 4.—The political graveyard is giving up ancient ghosts of anti-third term theories enunciated by men still active and prominent enough in the Republican party to be involved in the dilemma which may be presented should President Coolidge seek renomination. And the first life-sized skeleton dug up by anti-Coolidge men in both parties is an assertion by exPresident Taft. The latter in his speech accepting the 1912 nomination declared that, in turning down Roosevelt, the Republican party had repdiated a “faction which sought to force the party to violate a valuable and time honored national tradition by intrusting the power of the presiejeneq for snore than two terms to one man.” Taft, now chief justice of the Supreme Court, has not repudiated that statement, so far as is known. How About Tjhis? Examination of the 1912 battle records has been stimulated by the fact that Charles D. Hilles, who had been Taft’s executive secretary and was then chairman of the Republican national committee, now appears to be an earnest booster for Coolidge’s renomination. In a pamphlet now flooding the country. Hilles, who is New York national committeeman, declares that nothing but age or disability should prevent a President from being eligible to a “second elective term.” But anti-third termers contrast Hilles’ present attitude with his apparent acquiescence in the use of the third-term argument against Roosevelt fifteen years ago. They also recall that Mr. Hilles exalted t’-e two-term tradition, and that the New Yorker virtually supervised the Taft campaign, which was marked by repeated Republican reference to Roosevelt's earlier promise that he would not seek another renomination. Roosevelt’s words, which formed the text of many a Republican orator and campaigner in the days of Armageddon, were: “Wise Custom”—T. R. “The wise custom which limits the President to two terms regards the substance and not the form, and under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another renomination.” With the addition of a Coolidge twist Hilles almost paraphrases the Roosevelt statement in his pamphlet article. “Washington wisely refrained from a third term,” argues Mr. Hilles now./ “When he made that decision he was ten years older than President Coolidge is today. But, in all common sense, the form rather than the substance of the idea of a President confining himself to two terms should not be allowed to degenerate into a mere fetich.” Hilles Is not the only one whose 1912 attitude is under scrutiny. Three of the chief rooters for another term for Coolidge served on the advisory committee named by

Hilles to handle the Taft campaign. They were Harry S. New of Indiana, notv Postmaster General; Representative Theodore E. Burton of Ohio and John Hays Hammond of Massachusetts. And Democratic chieftains say there are a lot more ghosts still awaiting exhumation, pending verit fication or disapproval of the report that Coolidge himself once signed an anti-third term petition. TWO HIT AND BADLY INJURED BY AUTOS Pedestrians, Ages 65 and 74, In Hospitals. Two pedestrians struck by autos are in serious conditions in hospitals today. John W. Ferguson, 65, of R. R.

WETS, DRYS SEE NO EXODUS FOR WINDSOR LIQUOR Detroit Leaders Believe Drinkers Will Guzzle Right at Home. Bu Vtitled Press DETROIT, June 4. —Both wet and dry leaders in Detroit appear agreed that advent of the liquor area in Windsor has not and is urtlikely to materially affect bootlegging here. “There is too much Inconvenience to making a trip to Windsor,” Commander Leonard S. Coyne of the Charles A. Larned post, American Legion, told the United Press, “and the cost would average sls for an individual ‘party,’ wtyich is too great.” Coyne is a former United States assistant district attorney and had charge of prohibition cases here for years. Might Entice G. O. P. “The average bootlegging establishment in Detroit.” Coyne declared, “is maintained by the customer who drops in once or twice a week or once a day, for a bottle or two of beer and a ‘shot.’ Coyne saw an immense increase in petty smuggling of single bottles across the ferry. Usual penalty for being caught is loss of the bottle and a $5 fine. “The change will bring thousands of extra tourists,” Coyne added. "I would not he surprised to see it help bring the Republican national convention to Detroit.” Dry Belittles Effect The Rev. R. N. Ilolsaple. Anti-Sa-loon League State superintendent, 1 declared that he did not see the Canadian “arrangement” as having | any effect on United States enforceI ment. “The people who patroize bootleggers here,” Holsapple said, "will not | be enticed to Canada.” The Ontario statute, according to | State Representative Robert D. Wardell, director of the Michigan Modj oration League, is a solution of the I temperance 'question and the league i will submit a similar proposal to vot- : or* in Michigan and more than | twenty other States at the general election.

BRITAIN FACES CUSH IN EGYPT Warships and Strong Note| Rushed to East. Bu Vnited Press NEW YORK, June 4.—British empire leaders, engaged with antiBritish feeling in China, Russia and India, have been forced to turn their attention again to threatened revolt against British direction in Egypt.

Egypt, is on the imperial communication route to India, and Australia, and thus a field always keenly watched by British statesmen. The present incident arose when the Egyptian parliament committee sought to throw off British direction of Us army. London, in a note sent out the first of the week, is understood to have maintained in effect that British control of the Egyptian army must continue protection In Great Britain and to foreign interests as well. The note is basen on four reserved points. That imperial communications with dirstant points be kept secure; that foreign lives and interests in Egypt must be protected; that Egypt must lie defended against foreign aggression, and that the Su-' dan must he similarly defended.
