Paclifc Coast Trip. MWashington, July 27.-No word came from the NWhite House today to clear up intimations that President Wilson before beginning his speak Ing tour, might make some public ex pression of his views on the reserva tion to the covenant of the league of nations which some Republican sena tors insist are necessary to its ratill cation. Although no one in the president's ollicial faiily would take notice of these intimations, iwhich are wide spread, the impression continues to grow in congressional and oflicial cir cles that the 'president has some such idea in his mind. Tomorrow the presideirt will rc (eive callers at his desk in the execi tive olices for the first time in several days. All his appointments are with )emocratic members of the house or senate. This morning the president, accom panied by NIrs. Wilson, attended church. In the afternoon he took a long automobile ride into the coun try.
