Advisers Urge That He 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; May Speak
in Washington Labor Day.
 | Washington, Aug. 28.--(4)-—-Con-
tinuing conferences with Republican
campaign managers in the east, Her-
bert Hoover today was assembling
information upon which to base a
decision as to the extent he will par-
ticipate personally in the presidential
fight there.
William H. Hill, chairman of the
New York State committee, had an
engagement with the Republican
standard bearer to supplement the
advices given him yesterday by
[Charles D. Hilles, National Commit-
teeman for New York, and Daniel E.
Pomeroy, vice chairman of the New
Jersey committee.
Reports received by Hoover since
his return from the west indicate
that the eastern situation is one re-
quiring 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 eastern
situation. he will be in a position
to fairly well map out his campaign
up to election time. It is certain that
he will take advantage of his swing
| back to his home in California to
vote for making a series of addresses.
Before that time he very probably
will go into the middle west, speak-
‘ing at Chicago and some . other
‘cities, and also into the border
states, but these addresses are likely
to follow those in the east. Some of
jhis advisers think he should speak
jin New York and nearby states not
later than early October.
