CUBA T0 RECEVE VISIT OF HOOVERS | | i i Plan to Go There Alter Sojourn in Florida | Aboard U. §. §. Utah, Dec. 27 @— | Herbert Hoover is not expected to ' concern himself with pending legis- | lation on his visit to Washington. | He has indicated that he will await | his inauguration and the result of this session of congress before decid- ing on his program. The president- clect intend to devote himself pri- marily while in Washington to con- | ferences with party leaders on cab | inet appointments and to making a ! personal report to President Coolidge | about his Latin and South American | tour. | While pressure continues to be | brought on Mr. Hoover for elaborate ‘inauguration ceremonies, he is deter- imined to adhere to his original plan | for induction into office under as | simple a program as had been held | within recent years. i This s one of the matters he is ! expected to dispose of hefore leaving Washington for Florida late iw Jan- uary. His plans after the Florida | visit are npt completed but it is un- | derstood that he has in mind a visit | 10 Havana, Cuba, and to Santo Do- | mingo, Costa Rica, before his in- auguration. At present it is re- | garded as unlikely that he will find | time to visit Mexico City, | Hear SaHlors Sing | Mr. and Mrs. Hoover last night | heard about a thousand bluejackets | massed on the quarter deck of the | Utah sing “Are You Lonesome To- | night,” “Let Me Call You Sweet- ' heart,” “Mister Zip,” and other pop- | nlar songs and old favorites. After- | wards, before retiring, they watch- | ed motion pictures, which are shown each night on the upper deck. The heat is increasing as the | Utah nears the Equator and last night many of the party began sleep- ing on cots on the upper deck. The | weather was slightly squally with rain clouds threatening showers. | MRS, WIS ALEOST BEAT HUSBAND'S PLAN Her Suggestions Were Among Last | Six Left Finally Won by | | the Major. | New York, Dec. 27 (@#—Mrs. Ches- | ter P.
