President Wilson, according to the latest message from the liner George Washington, will disembark from the Coast Guard cutter "Ossipee" at Commonwealth Pier this morning at 11.45. The Presidential party will then parade from the pier to the Copley-Plaza Hotel, the route being through Summer, Winter, Park, Beacon, Charles, Boylston, Arlington, Commonwealth Ave., and Dartmouth streets. After luncheon in the Copley Plaza at 1, the President will proceed to Mechanics Hall, where he will make his only Boston speech at 2.30. Two hours later a special train will carry the party from the South Station on its way to Washington.

Governor Coolidge, Mayor Peters '95, and the official welcoming party will go down the harbor on the cutter Ossipee to greet the President at 10, the same time that the other boats of the reception fleet will leave their respective wharves.

While today has not been declared a legal holiday many Boston stores and practically all business houses will observe it as such. The University has granted a half holiday, with no classes after 1 o'clock.

Secretary J. P. Tumulty yesterday sent a telegram to Mayor Quinn stating that the itinerary of the President's return to Washington would make it impossible for him to visit Cambridge.
