10 PRESIDENT BES BY NEW YORK FIGHT Storm Which Broke Over Wadsworth Brings Vain Demands for His Ideas. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. The next time President Coolidge goes a-summering he fs likely to in- quire most meticulously into the po- titical situation in the State in which the vacation White House is to be pitched. There is very likely to be a return to Massachusetts next year, or possibly to Vermont. The President knows what is going on in those two bailiwicks. He didn't _quite get the drift of things in New York State this vear and as a result he has been pulled this way and that in an effort to drag him fnto the worst muddled Republican situation the Empire State has ever known. The President, according to custom, has refused to be dragged. He has even kept silent on the candidacy of his close friend and warm supporter in Congress, Senator Wadsworth, who is up for renomination and re-election this vear and who is being fought tooth and nail by the dry citizens of the State. Senator Wadsworth, in launching his campalgn, made a speech which for wringing wetness has outstepped anything that ever started in that direction. Naturally, President Coolidge could not go along on such a platform. Mr. Coolidge does not belleve in stirring up the animals as Senator Wadsworth unquestionably did. The President was not brought up in that particular school of politics. He believes in see- ing the other fellow's point of view. 8enator Wadsworth lunched with the President after his wet declaration of independencs and there is a general assumption through the State ‘that Mr. Coolidge indicated to the Senmtor he had gone too far Changed Lionlike Attitude. In any event the Wadsworth who emerged from Paul Smiths was a much tamer Wadsworth than the one who entered. The Senator had been raging Ifke a lion for a wet governor and a wet plank in the plamform. Lamblike he emerged, suggesting that, after all, it probably would be best to nominate a ‘“moderate” for governor and leave all mention of pro- hibition out of the platform. This sign of weakness on the part of the most stalwart wet in the Re- publican machine immediately was seized upon by the drys, who have an. nounced their intention of fighting for R strong enforcement plank in the State platform and advocacy of a State enforcement law to supplement the Federal act. The situation is becoming embar- rassing for Senator Wadsworth, and his friends have been expecting over and over again that President Cool- fdge would issue a statement in his behalf. But so far silence has reigned at Paul Smiths. The drys now are about to attack Mr. Coolidge. Both sides have asked the President to in- dicate a preference as to the senatorial nominee. But the President has taken the ground that iIf he were S in some other State he w think of butting into the New York situation. Therefors, the mere chance that he happens to be passing the Summer in a State where political turmoil rules does not seem to him sufficient to Indicate a departure from his time-honored rule of “hands off.” Mr. Coolidge has no desire to be classed with either faction. Natur- ally he wants the Republicans to “get together” and work for the best in- terests of the party, locally and na- tionally, but he has not yet offered a formula. by which the wringing wets fromu the Lig cities and the bone drys from the rural reglons can square their differences. Senator Wadsworth, claiming the support of the President, ge tangible bucking from Paul S and his opponents are beginning to use this silence against him. If he veers to the drys up-State he loses the support of the big wet element in New York City. And if he veers to the latter he loses support in the natural Republican strongholds of the north. Likewise if a “dry.” or substantially dry man is nominated for governor by the Republicans, and if an enforce- ment plank is placed in the platform, Senator Wadsworth will be left out on a very slim limb. President Coolidge sees the surging all about him. He is surrounded by the hottest political tempest ever raised in New York State and the pressure on him to “do something” i8 growing greater day by day. The forecast is the President will do noth- ing, but that does not make the situa- tion any the less embarrassing for a Summer ‘“residenter.” The *“season’ for Mr. Coolidge has been anything but_quiet. |managed to make himself look llke a Marie of Jugoslavia Would Gladly Exchange Palace for Vine-Clad Cottage. There She Could Devote Own Life as Mother to Baby Heir. By the Associated Press BELGRADE. August 30.—Queen Marfe of Jugoslavia, daughter of Queen Marie of Rumania, and young- est_reigning woman sovereign in the world, {8 a timid and melancholy young woman. At the age of 25 she finds herself the ruler of 16,000,000 persons, but separated from them by her ignorance of the language. From the time she was 16, her mother trained her in all modern queenly duties, but she could not teach her daughter 'to overcome the char- acteristics which now appear to make her lonely and fsolated. With her husband, King Alexander, son of old King Peter of Serbia, Marie occuples a $3,000,000 palace in Bel- grade. But she has extremely simple and democratic tastes, and her friends say she would prefer to live in a small cottage in the country, where she could devote all her time to the care and rearing of her 3-year-old son, Crown Prince Peter II. Marie finds the business of ‘main- talning a court irksome and tedious, her friends say, and she therefore sel- dom entertains or gives receptions. Her one and only interest in life, they declare, {s her baby, a handsome, brown-eved, lively boy, who has an English’ nurse and American picture books and toys. English is the only language he knows. An Informal Person. i The Queen invited the correspondent to tea at the palace in Belgrade and chatted with him pleasantly about her adopted country and her duties as n queen. The scene in the palace when the correspondent entered was any- thing but regal. A dressmaker's pa- plermache form of a female figure, covered with a white bodice, appeared in a corner, several trunks remained opened and ‘personal clothing hung in disarray about the room. Her majesty apologized for the appearance of the place, saying she and the King had Just returned from a long trip into the interior. A colored handkerchief was worn around her head to conceal her bobbed hair, which she feels does not quite become a queen. The 3-year-old crown prince played with a coal scuttle near the fire, and chimney-sweep. “He won't even look at his regular toys,” said the Queen, “but insists on playlng with coal, mud, paint and everything else he ought not to pl with. In that respect I suppose h like any ordinary boy.” When the correspondent suggested that American readers would like to know from her how it felt to be Queen, her majesty laughingly said: “Well, T can tell vou there isn't much fun in it. It's sometimes more difficult to be a good mother than a queen. This baby takes almost all my time, and I have scarcely an hour to devote to court duti cial activi- ties or anything else. In my girlhood I thought I'd be content with just| being a princess, but then fate always | spoils most of one’s dreams. | ‘Like my mother, I try to give a FOR, THE FEVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, MONDAY, CROWN RESTS SORROWFULLY ON HEAD OF YOUNGEST QUEEN TR oW OO0 King and Queen of Jugosiavia. much time to charitable and hospital work as I can; but you have no idea how many other things a queen is called upon to do.” ‘The Queen said one of her greatest problems was to acquire the Serblan language and be able to converse with the peasantry in their own tongue. “Serbian, like all Slav languages,” she said, “is incredibly difficult. Only now, after two vears' dffort, I am be- #inning to understand the language vhen T hear it spoken, but I cannot vet speak it with any facility and, of course, I cannot read or write it."” Queen Marie is no longer the buoy- ant, vivacious, youthful girl one knew in Bucharest 4ve years ago. She is now essentially the maturer mother, with a more serfous outlook in life. Her former girlish bloom, gracetul figure and adolescent features have given way to a full, rotund face, that suggests the Teutonic type, a figure that Is almost obese and eyes that convey melancholy and introspection. But the Queen of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes has the same personal charm as of old. Atop the Earle wilding Dancing Every Nire IN THE AIRC UN--?
