AMERICAN PRESIDENT
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE DISCUSSIONS Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK, January 6. (Received January 7, at 1 p.m.) A Kansas City message states that Mr William Butler (chairman of the Republican National Committee) slated that Mr Coolidgo had not necessarily been eliminated from the United States Presidential possibilities, but lie added that the chances that the President would be nominated were slight, because of the opposition in some quarters to the third term idea. He declared that Mr Hoover’s strength was growing rapidly, and campaign headquarters would be opened for him in New York very soon. Mr Butler stated that he believed that Mr Hoover had a far stronger following in the East and the Far West than Mr Coolidge. Regarding the latter’s reported desire not to run, Mr Butler said: “The President did not say that he would not accept nomination, and the East largely believes that the President may come forward. ’
In view of the close relationship between Mr Butler and Mr Coolidge, the former’s statement is universally interpreted as intimating that Mr Coolidge favors Mr Hoover’s candidacy.
