Woodrow Wflson withor ized the statement today that he "will participate as far as possible" in the funeral ceremonies here Wednesday for President Harding.

The extent of the former President's participation was not made known but the statement was taken to mean that he at leas: will ride in the cortege from the White House to the capltol. Whether he will attend the services in the ro tunda probably will depend upon his physical condition. President Coolidge extended an Invitation to Mr. Wilson yesterday to take part in the ceremonies but, after a conference between the President's aide, Colonel Sherrill, and Rear Admiral Grayson, Mr. Wilson's physician, the announcement was made because of his health the formei President regretted he could not participate.

Mr. Wilson decided later, however, that so far as his physical condition will permit he will Join publicly in the last tributes to be paid here to the dead President, whose kindness and courtesy to. his on March 4, 1921, was one of the outstanding features of that Inaugural day. Should Mr. WHson find It possible to appeal in person in the funeral cortege, It will be his first public appearance since the burial of the Unknown Soldier on Armistice Day, 1921, and his third since he left the White House, to seek seclusion.

'1 cannot say positively whether construction of the plant will be started before the end of tho week," Mr. Morse stated Sunday, "but it is very probable that engineers for the company will be on the ground as soon as the court has met.

If the senate waS determined to Veto America's entry into the world court despite Mr. Harding's statement that he was unalterably opposed to the League of Nations, with no desire to enter It "by the side door, the back door, or the cel lar door," there Is small chance oN proposala being better received from a man whom public utterances i have been anything but unfriendly I to the leaguer 1 That Mr.

Harding the world court plan was the fulfillment of the promises he mad during the campaign would place the United States, in an association of nations. The court more nearly met his ideas of an association than did the League. He characterized the court, as a thing of law; the league as a of war.
