' By the Associated Pres: { GENEVA, Switzer | The tripartite naval conference came |to an unsuccesful end today. After | nearly seven weeks of discussion the | delegates of the United States, Great 1 Britain and Japan found themselves unable to reach an agreement on the ' imitation of cruisers, destroyers and submarines, which was the object of hthe conference. The end came after Hugh S. Gib- son, chief of the American delega- < tion, had made the final address of | s the session, the conference adopting ‘a joint declaration adjourning the ! eonference sine die. ! Gibson Voted Thanks. ! adopted for Mr. Gibson, the motion | being made by W. C. Bridgeman, | chief of the British delegation, and [,y seconded by Admiral Viscount Ishii i 'o( Japan. A last-moment effort by Great { Britain to rescue something from the nce was made just hefore to- e session, the chief Brit- |ish delegate proposing an agreement {restricted to destrovers and sub- ! marines. This was declined by the i American delegation on the ground that the United States considered the !Zimitation of cruisers, destroyers and submarines as oue indivisjble whole. Mr. Gibson made it clear that the ,Americans deem the questions of cruisers, destroyers and submarines |interdependent, and called the atten- tion of Mr. Bridgeman to the fact that he (Gibson) had repeatedly em- phasized in his statements to the | cofiferees that no agreement on one {or two types of auxiliary warcraft was ' ible. " He ndded that cruisers gonstituted the most important element among Ithe auxillary warcraft and declared that any accord confined to destroyers | and submarines would-be worthless. R Further Study Recommended. Mr. Gibson then frankly told Mr. ' Bridgeman that reports were in circu- lation that the Rritish, during the ! plenary session in the afterncon, Iintended to present some new pro- posals. He wanted to know exactly !whether these reports were true, he- seause if true they would destroy the whole arrangements made for the ! mession and would necessarily modify his own speech which he had pre- jpared with the idea that today’s ple- \mary session was to be the last Mr. Bridgeman replied, it is under- stood, that the only new proposal he had in mind was the one he had just ipresented to Mr. Gibson and Admiral | Saito, suggesting the advisability of a ! partial agreement. The last act of the conference was the adoption of the joint motion of adjournment, with ihe declaration “that the governments of the three powers represented be invited to give new consideration te the problems in- | Ivolved, in the hope that the govern- ments wouid be able to reach an early solution.

No further word has been given and the Presi- dent has fidicated th, 2 is perfectly well satisfled with the wording of his ent and has no intention, at for the present, of making any her comment. In the face of a veritable rush of nal inquiries, telegrams and | telephone messages asking for some- ng m explicit or definite, and many urging reconsideration, Presi- dent Coolidge has seen fit to remain silent, e's tersa message Answers Only Few Telegrams. The wires have F at the executive office en_busy since the President’s unexpected announcement was made public. He has looked over a large number of the messages, but he has | not seen half of them. Only a few 6 | them have been answered in person. | He showed some interest in one mes- | sage, which referred to a “nationa lamity™ and in another in which the nder wired something to the effect that the “Nation should give thanks. There was a slacking up in the | messages yesterday afternoon and this was taken by associates of the Presideni to indicate that the real mear ) the President’s statement is beginn ng to percolate through the national mind. The President's intimates at the nmer Capital hope this is the case. here is no doubt in their mind that | Mr. Coolidge has chosen definitely and ibsolutely not to be a candidate to d himself and that he is deter- nied to refuse the nomination if it appens to be offered to him. “How little the politicians of this country know President Coolidge, one of his very close friends said today while discussing this subject. “He does not resort to political faking. He doesn’t say much, but when he does, he always means what he says.” This same authority, in an attempt to throw more light on that now | famous word *“choose,” which was in the President’s announcement, stated that the President had in mind, when | he composed his statement, that “this | is my own free act, will and deed. 1le is said to use that quaint phrase frequently in connection with given orders or-when affixing his signature to some important paper. When he used the werd “choose” in his state- ment yesterday, this intimate of the President’s feels confident that it was his purpose to convey the thought contained in the phrase. “this is my own free act, will and deed.” Presiden In other words, it is felt that the sident’s unexpected decision was not the result of any one thing or serles of things. Nor was it the re- sult of any advice or suggestion. Neither was he forced by any political, lative, foreign or other situation. t this is true was demonstrated by the fact that he took noone, other than possibly his wife, into his confi- dence He was in deadly earnest when he renounced another nomination by his party and he was ‘represented to the writer as feeling deeply the doubt that has been raised as to his sincerity since the publication of his decision. He is known ‘o have personally an- swered two long-distance telephone calls from Washington yesterday, It is not known what transpired during | these conversations, but it is known that from the expression on Mr. Cool- | idge’s face at the time he resents his decision beinz misinterpreted and that it will be futile to attempt to persuade him to change his mind. Now that Mr. Coolidge has put him- | self out of the running, so to speak, and is stripped of political impedi- ments. his position from now en should he a happy and comfortable one. Henceforth he will be regarded 1s the President of the United States and not the candidate for office. He can now make his high office yleld its utmost influence without having his motives questioned. At the Summer capital it is already noted that politics are heing ‘‘soft pedaled.” In a large city of the West during the 1924 campaign there was organized a Coolidge Republican club, which has been kept alive since then. Boosters “Headed Off.” The members of this club wrote to the Executive office asking for a date when its members could come to the Summer White House to pay their respects to the President. Yesterday afternoon they were advised not to come as a political ‘organization ban- nered for Coolidge. In short, they have been headed off. Other like instances would be cited to show that Mr. Coolidge meant every word of his statement and that he in- tends to be out of things political. He will continue to welcome friends in- clusive of all those interested in good Government and who wish to extend good wishes, who may visit the Sum- mer capital. But there is to be a closer winnowing of the guests in the fu- ture than in the past. There is no longer any such person as Candidate Coolidge. # STATEMENT BELIEVED FINAL. 1 | ‘, | in Earnest. i Belief Prevails at Summer White House Coolidge Has Quit. RAPID CITY, 8.
