though reports of a "revived draft
Coolidge" campaign preceded him
to Washington he said afterward
he had not discussed presidential
politics with the president. He
indicated that he felt it unlikely
that Mr. Coolidge would be a can
didate and that nothing had taken
place to modify the determination
of state leaders to send an unin
structed delegation to Kansas
City.
Curtis Claims Strength
A little later Joseph Steinberg.
treasurer of the Curtis-for-presl-
dent club of New York, emerged
from a conference with Senator
Curtis claiming that the Kanean
would hare half of the New York
delegation. Curtis' New York
supporters, he Bald, were cooper
ating with Morris, National Com
mitteeman Hill and other leaders
to prevent definite Instruction for
any candidate, feeling certain that
in such an event Senator Curtis
would get at least as big a share
as any of hie rivals.
Both the Hoover and Lowden
people have been active In New
York. Before he went to the
White House Mr. Morris talked
with Ogden Mills, recently the re
publican nominee for governor In
New York and now Under-Secretary
of the treasury. Mills Is open
