IN VARIED TASKS Trip to Vermont to Ask Cool- idge Aid for Hoover High Light, He Said. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Final tribute will be paid Harry S. New tomorrow during funeral services in his native city of Indianapolis. The 78-year-old former Postmaster Gen- eral and Senator died Sunday night in Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, where he had been a patient for three weeks. Few men were more closely identified with the political life of this country during the last 40 years than was Mr. New. Soon after he became of voting age, Mr. New started attending Republican national conventions and continued to do so for the remainder of his life. During most of his life he was an important convention figure, either in the role of delegate, chairman of his State delegation, or as an officer of the Republican National Committee. Mr. New figured prominently in bringing about the nomination of | Warren G. Harding at the 1920 Re- publican convention. He was prob- ably the first man to whom Calvin Coolidge said definitely that he did not *‘choose to run” for another term. He also was one of the first men of any prominence or authority in the higher councils of the Republican | party to whom President Theodore Roosevelt let it be known that he wanted Willlam Howard Taft, his Secretary of War, to succeed him as President. Worked on Newspaper. Mr. New's stepping stone into poli- tics was from newspaper work Indianapolis, where he was born and where he worked for 25 years on the of which his father was principal owner. Mr. New served six years in the United States Senate and for more than five years as Postmaster Gen- eral under Presidents Harding and Coolidge. During his active participation in politics and official life, Mr. New played a prominent role in helping shape the history of this country. He figured in many political battles; he had the confidence of many men in public life and he was a close ad- viser to two Presidents. But, accord- ing {9 Mr. New, nothing impressed him more than his journey to Ply- mouth Notch, Vt,, just before the na- tional election in 1932, when he sought to prevail on former President Cool- idge to come out of retirement and | make an eleventh-hour campaign in the interest of Herbert Hoover. As Mr. New told the writer, his talk with Mr. Coolidge in th. Vermont hills on this occasion revealed for the first time that Mr. Coolidge was not Mr. Coolidge died a few months later. Mr. New believed he was the only person, with the possible exception of Mrs, Coolidge, to know | that the former President was con- cerned over his health. It was past the middle of October and the campaign was not going so well for President Hoover, and, ac- cording to Mr. New, no one knew this better than Mr. Hoover himself. Mr. New was in retirement at the time, living quietly and happily at his small estate in Edgemoor, Md,, on the out- skirts of the Capital. Late one Sun- day afternoon his telephone rang and | Mr. New recognized the voice of Pres- ident Hoover.

He said that something was needed | to help his campaign, “somebody must arouse the people to rally them to my | banner.” Mr. Hoover added that there was | no one in his cabinet or any active party leader who seemed to be able He then came to the point by saying, “I need thé help of Mr. Coolidge, and, New, I want you to see Mr. Coolidge for me. I want him to make only one more speech for me." Undertook Task for Hoover. Mr. New said he agreed to under- take this task and Mr. Hoover insisted he leave Washington that evening. Mr. New left the train at Ludlow, Vt., to drive to Plymouth Notch. On the way he met Mr. Coolidge and entered the former President's car. Mr. Coolidge said he was on his way to see & man about some carpentering work and they could talk while they drove. Mr. New came to the matter of his business without much delay. He weighed his words carefully and when he was through, Mr. Coolidge said quietly, and without the trace of a smile: “I knew that was what you wanted to see me about.” Mr. Coolidge then said he had agreed to make one speech for Mr. Hoover and he already had made fit. He said he thought he had fulfilled his agreement and he would not con- sent to make another. Mr. New then tried persuasion, but could see that he was getting nowhere, and yet he could notice that Mr. Coolidge was not merely obstinate. Finally Mr. Coolidge said, “Mr. New, I'm not well enough to go through such an ordeal again. I wasn't well when I made the last speech and thought for a time that I would never be able to finish it. My throat and heart were bothering me. I don't feel any better now and I'm not physically able to take on such a task at this time.

The orchestra leader arrived here from New York at a very early hour this morning, full of determination to lay his plan be- fore Chairman Pat Harrison of the Senate Fi- nance Committee. Before he had his breakfast coffee at Union Station, Himber took time out to estimate that a 10-cent tax on fan pictures ought to net Uncle Sam “about a billion” dol- lars a year in round figures. “No, no, no!” exclaimed Himber's press agent, “——you mean $6,000,: 000, don’t you?" “Well,” conceded Himber, “maybe Richard Himber.

Heard Appeal by T. R. Mr. New had become chairman of the Republican National Committee early in 1907 when George B. Cortel- you resigned to become Secretary of the Treasury in President Roosevelt's cabinet. Soon afterwards he received an invitation from President Roosevelt to lunch at the White House. The only other guest on this occasion was Sec- retary Taft Mr. New arrived in advance of Mr. Taft and while talking with the President awaiting Mr. Taft's arrival, President Roosevelt expressed his high gsteem of Mr. Taft and told Mr. New he was greatly interested in seeing him the Republican nominee. Mr. New played an important role in the convention of 1912 which nomi- term and which resulted in the organi- zation of the third party, of which Theodore Roosevelt was the standard bearer. Discussing that dramatic con- vention in Chicago, Mr. New said that the public had never been informed of scenes and of the safeguards taken during that convention to prevent any outbreak of physical disorder. After nomination of Mr. Taft, Mr. New took no active part in the subsequent cam- paign. In Mr. New's private papers there no doubt will be found a letter from President Taft personally thanking him for the work he did during the convention and in which he bitterly old friend, Theodore Roosevelt, who was then heading the third party. Mr. New also took an important part in the convention of 1920, which, after a virtual deadlock between Gen. | Wood and former Gov. Frank Lowden of Illinois, resulted in the unexpected nomination of Senator Harding of Ohio. Mr. New was chairman of the Indiana delegation and sat in on the private counsels of the party leader- ship. He always insisted that, con- ing of Senators in a smoke-filled hotel in across According the decision to “put Harding to Mr. New, Senator Philadelphia and could not attend the made Attorney General, had as much to do with breaking the deadlock and nominating Harding as anything at that convention. @dm’ Hill Washingtoss mest B emete ry barian Community Mauseleam.
