month ago. Then a severe cold weak
ened him. Today’s sunshine encour
aged him to leave his home earlier
than usual to attend the directors
meeting. Doctors had warned mem
bers of his family that his heart was
weak and did their best to prevent
him from over exerting himself.
Father in Grant's Cabinet.
Mr. Fish, whose father, Hamilton
Fish, served as secretary of state in
President Grant’s cabinet, was for
many years a forceful and picturesque
figure in finance, while his wife, until
her death a few years ago. ruled New j
York society as a leader of the “400. j
The climax of Mr. Fish's career as
a railroad man was reached in 1900,
when one of his lieutenants, James
Theodore Harahan, went over to the J
Harriman side in the controversy over ,
control of the Illinois Central and re- [
placed him as president of the road.
There was a stormy moment at the |
directors meeting in Chicago, when I
Mr. Fish stepped out. Associates,
rushing In between Fish and Hara

President
May Delay
Trip West
Harding Is \ exed at An
nouncement Placing Him in
Altitude of Avowed (ian
didole for Re-Election.
Firm cn Court Issue
I5> L'nlvernal Service.
Washington, April 10.—President
Harding is considerably vexed over |
being, placed in the attitude of an
avowed candidate for another term.
This was made emphatically plain
today at his first direct contact with
newspaper nepresentatives since
Attorney General Daugherty’s an
nouncement that the executive would
stand for renomination.
Mr. Hdrding also was greatly per
'urbed because of the widespread an J
growing attack on his proposal for
American participation in the inter
national court as a “back door” en
try into the league of nations.
Finn on Court Issue.
The Wh te House statement left no
doubt of the president's determin
ation to press the court issue. His
inclination, it was disclosed, is to
fight back at Senators Borah and
Johnson and other leaders in the
party who differ with the Hugh's
Hoover view rather than seek to
avoid th*» i arty split which re
garded as certain if the court plan is
nut abandoned.
On the question of his candidacy
for reflection, Mr. Harding, it was
said, feels that he has been placed
in a very embarrassing situation, in
vf w ofsh!s con tern ulated trip to
Alaska, wltich would carry him
across the continent to the Pacific
roast. On this part of the trip, he
had planned to make a series of
speeches.
But the president, it was vigorously
asserted, will not permit himself to be
placed in the attitude of making a
“swing around the-cirruit" as a can- |
didate. He wi>l forego the trip en- j
tirely. it was added, unless this phase ■
of the matter is cleared up.
No Reference to Daugherty.
No reference was made In the
White House statement to the part ■
1 layed in the situation by Attorney j
General Daugherty, who made the
original announcement while the ,
president was vacationing in Florida.
The appeal was to the correspondents
to set the president right before the
country. Considerable speculation
was arroused, however, as to whether
or not Mr. Harding's displeasure p*r- 1
force did not extend to the attorney
general.
President Harding, the White House !
spokesman pointed out. has “insist
ently adhered” to the proposition that
now is not the time to discuss can
didacies for 1 f#24. The president hi s
work to do, to which he is commit
ted.” it was stated. "He has duties
w hich ran not l»e escaped.'*
No Tour as Candidate.
It was then recalled that Mr. Har
ding has planned a trip to Alaska ever
since his inauguration. He wants to
go this summer, it was added, but:
“He can't go without crossing the
continent. He will not cross the con
tinent this summer as a candidate,
even if he has to forego the trip en
tirely. The president is not going to
be put in the attitude of making a
swing around the circle as a candidate.
“It is a very embarrassing situation.
There would be, of course, a great
many requests for speeches, and
naturally the executive would t>e in
clined to yield o some of the demands
and make a few remarks touching on
public questions.
“But he will stay here and work It
< lit with Laddie Boy before he will
be put in the attitude of swinging
across the country as a political con
dition. A man ought to 1** able to be
president for at least three years
without being drawn into the political
w hirlpool.”
No Plan for Speeches.
The president. It was stated, has
' no Idea." at this time as to what will
be the subject of his addresses in the
event he makes the western trip.
There are a number of topics, some
(-unpolitical and nonpartisan, which
he believes could tie becomingly <l.s
cussed. Nothing is so Important in
tlie president's mind ns the rnllrond
problem.
With regard to (“ports that Chair
man banker of the shipping hoard Is
slated io direct the approaching prcsl
dentin I campaign, it was declared
never to have been "discussed, hinted
(, or even surmised" except in the
press. Mr. Harding Is devoted lo
Chairman banker and is grateful to
him for a "gnat, unselfish service ns
head of the shipping board." He re
gards tlie chairman s record ns "clean
as a hound's tooth." hut the question
of directing the political campaign lias
not been broached.
