WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—~-(P)—
Continuing conferences with fre-
publican campaign managers in
the east, Herbert Hoover today was
assembling information upon

which to base a decision as to the
extent he will participate person-
ally in the presidential fight there.

William H. Hill, chairman of
the New York state Hoover com-
mittee, had an engagement with
the republican standard bearer to
‘supplement the advices given him
yesterday by Charles E. Pomeroy,
vice chairman of the New Jersey
committee.

Reports received by Hoover
since his return from the west in-
dicate that the eastern situation
is one requiring attention and his
advisers are urging him to go into
New York, Massachusetts and New
Jersey for at least one speech for
each state and more if time can
be found for them.

After he has canvassed the east-
ern situation, he will be in a posi-
tion to fairly well map out his
campaign up to election time. It
is certain that he will take ad-
vantage of his swing back to his
home in California to vote for mak-
ing a series of addresses.

Before that time he very prob-
ably will go into the middle west,
speaking at Chicago and some
other cities, and also into the bor-
der states, but these addresses are
likely to follow those in the east.
Some of his advisers think he
should speak in New York and
nearby states not later than early
Ocroher.
