Herald Bureau, Washington, Feb. 7 President Coolidge is holding April 18 open with the hope that he may be able to attend the opening exercises in Faneuil hall marking the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Revolution. The president discussed at length the possibility of his going to Boston on that date with Edward L. Curran, in general charge of arrangements. Although he could not definitely promise, he told Mr. Curran that he would try to attend if his duties here could be so arranged. It is the present plan to have Mr. Coolidge make an address in Faneuil hall, April 18, and the next day ride over the route taken by Paul Revere. Edward L. Curran, who is chairman of the Boston committee for the Patriots' day celebration, confirmed last night the report from Washington of his conference with President Coolidge, but said the President was unable to give definite assurance that it would be possible to come.
