Washington. Aug. 12.—Instead of the blare of man-lung bands, the waving of nags and demonstrations by large dele gations from different * cities, such as characterized the notification in Marion four years ago. Republican managers anticipate that tin* ceremony Thursday night, when President Coolidge will he informed of his nouiiation. will he or derly and quiet. Nothing like a big crowd from outside , the capital is expected. Mr. (’oolidge's friends insist, however, that there is no dampening of party ardor, but that cir eimustances this year merely do not jxiint to an ostentatious notification. Four years ago. they explained, the Democrat ic Party was hi power and the Republi cans had passed through )♦ spirited eon vent ion. The big notification, with its parades and outbursts of enthusiasm. ' was needed to cement the party be hind the nominee. The fact that Memorial Continental Hall, where Mr. Coolidge will accept, has a small seating capacity has kept tiie out-of-town crowds away. The White House has received no intimation there will he many visitors, and only i the prominent members e.f the party. I with such others in Washington who are interested, are expected. | President Coolidge is resting for the big occasion. He remained away from j the executive offices tlTis afternoon and I has ‘no important appointments for to-J morrow. At noon he walked with i Chairman Hutler of the Republican na- j tional committee to the hall and looked i over the seating arrangements. ' Mr. Hutler placed the size of the au dience the President will address over the radio at 20.000.000. He thinks more will listen in on President Coolidge than heard John W. Davis Monday. He predicted Air. Coolidge will speak to the largest audience on record. Amplifiers have been placed in Me morial Continental Hall to carry the President's voice to the streets outside, where crowds are expected to gather. This was done at the President's request, his wish being that only a limited num ber of seats should be reserved and that the public be given every possible oppor tunity to hear. Airs. Coolidge and her son, John, will occupy a box on the south side of the hall. Opposite, across the platform, a box lias been reserved for Frank AV. Alondell, chairman of the notification committee, who will tell Air. Coolidge of the convention's action. In this box will be Airs. Alondell, Aliss ‘Dorothy and Aliss Alajorie Alondell. Alajor and Mrs. West and Air. ami Airs. Frederick AlcKenny. Chairman Butler will call the meeting to orrter' , pi'hinptly at JS in. The Rev. .Tason Noble Pierce, pastor of the First Congregational Church, which President and Airs. Coolidge attend, will pronounce the invocation. There will be music by the Alarine band and Air. Butler will introduce Air. Alondell. AVhile the. Republican chiefs were busy today arranging for the notification. Representative Dyer, Republican of Alis sotiri. was sounding a warning to the President that all is not well in Mis souri. He is the first to bring anything but optimistic reports to the White House. Air. Dyer told President Coolidge Missnori is by no means certain to go Republican this fall, recommending that additional forces be thrown into the state. Attention should be given to St. Louis, he said. Yanks Pay $20,000 For Ben Paschal- Atlanta. Gh..
