Dec. 10.-(By A P.)-President Harding was euollgi: ed by his successor in office, Calvi Coolidge, in an address broadcast( tonight by radio, as one who was en inently fitted "to serve a distract world in a difficult period of its hi . tory". The president spoke in his study a the White House and his address w carried .to the furthermost parts o the country. Exceptional facliti for broadcatsing stations were pr vided as all broadcasting stator were requested by the department commerce to remain silent during t - time Mr. Coolidge spoke. Appropriate For Time Mr. Coolidge began his address wit a reference to Leigh Hunt's poe "Abou Ben Abhem". "It will be hart { to find a better picture than this o President Harding, the man we lo' ed and mourn," said Mr. Coolide after reciting a verse of the. poe "Some will say that such a swe and gentle nature could only hI found its setting and opportunity fo service in a strange and peculia time.

There were varying estimates as to how the dead- lock would continue. Some lev.ders' of the insurgents said it might g ' on for several weeks but some leading Senators thought a break would come long before then. Senator Cummins declared he would not bargain with the supporters of Senator LaFollette adding that he had no intention of giving up this post for some others.
