Spectre of Failure Still Present, How
ever, and Little Hope Held for
Successful Conclusion
03v Associated Press)
GENEVA, August 3.-"Just an idea,'
was the moderate saying which the
Japanese statesman used when pre-
snting early today to Hugh S. Gibson,
chief American representative, their
compromise formula of the cruiser
problem which has menaced the Tri-
partite Naval conference with failure.
Despite this new move, however, it
was said in responsible quarters to-
night that the spectre of failure, fail-
ure which, as a prospect, has gen-
uinely alarmed responsible men of
many countries, did not yet be deemed
definitely avoided; yetfrom the Amer-
ican standpoint at least, the Japanese
plan to save the conference Is said to
appear after closest study to include
many attractive features worthy of
being treated as a basis for negotia-
tion.,
Gibson Cables Text
Mr. Gibson cabled the text of the
proposal to Washington today, to-
gether with his own views and com-
ments. Furthermore, W.C. Bridge-
man, chief British delegate, who got
the plan from Admiral Saito, and Vis-
count Ishii :soon after they had sub-
mitted it to Mr. Gibson, has tele-
graphed it t3 London. It is said that
Mr. Bridgeman believed the sug-
gestion to be of so important a nature
as to justify its consideration by the
British cabinet.
When the Japanese employed the
expressed, "An idea," in giving the
formula to Mr. Gibson, they meant
what they said. They explained that
they quite realize it was entirely im-

TYPES OUT MESSAGE
Coolidge Makes Announcement on 4th
Anniversary of His Taking
Oath of Office
(By Associated Press)
RAPID CITY, S. D., Augg. 2.--Presi-
dent Coolidge today issued 'a state-
ment saying:
"I do not choose to run for presi-
dent in 1928."
The statement, which was type-
written on small pieces of paper, was
handed out tpday by the president on
the fourth anniversary of his becom-
ing chief executive of the United
States, without comment.
Mr. Coolidge had asked newspaper
men to see him at 12 o'clock today.
Until a minute or two before there
was not the slightest knowledge
among the presidential staff of what-
would occur at the conference.
Sends Secretary
Shortly before 12 o'clock Mr. Cool-
idge sent for his personal stenogra-
pher, Edwin Geiser, and dictated the
brief message which was then trans-
cribed onto small pieces of paper by
typewriter.

into the room, the president asked
them to file past him. He handed
each the small slip of paper with the
message. The paper had been folded
by him.
Newspaper men stopped to ask him
if there was any comment, and Mr.
Coolidge replied negatively. The
dash - for telephones and telegraph
wires was begun by the newspaper
men.
Other Guests Present
Besides the newspaper men, there
were in the room at the time Senator
Capper, a house guest of the presi-
dent, Everett Sanders and Edward T.
Clark, his secretaries; Blanton Win-
ship, his military aid, and Dr. James
F. Coupal, his physician.
No word was spoken, outside of Mr.
Coolidge asking if everyone was
present and inquiry of newspaper men
if there was anything more to say.
It is safe to say that the president
counseled with no one in preparing
his startling announcement.
Those closest to him in his official
family had taken occasion on this day,
the fourth anniversary of Mr. Cool-
idge taking the oath of office, to ex-
press the private view that he would
not make any statement of his plans
for another term and would accept the
nomination if given -to him, without
expressing himself.
