Washington, Aug. 28. (AP)—Con-
tinuing conferences with Republi-
can campaign managers in the east
Herbert Hoover today was assetmb-
ling information upon which to
base a decision as to the extent he
will participate personally in the
presidential fight there. .

Reports received by Hoover
since his return from the west in-
dicate that the eastern situation is
one requiring attention and his ad-
visers 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 haus 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 he will take advantage of
his swing back to his home tu Car-
‘fornia to vote for making a ser-
tes of addresses. . Whether he will
take the northern route home
through Wisconsin, Minnesota
‘Montana and Oregon, or the south-
ern route, remains to be deter:
mined. |
* Should Hoover decide to muke a
labor day address next Monday, it
will be In Washington with a radio
hookup, it was stated today at his
office. However, the candidate
thinks the time is too short for the
preparation of an address.

Representatives of the Republi-
can candidate still were seeking
today to secure a building in which
to open his personal headquarters.
There has been some delay in ob-
taining the home of the late Repre-
sentative Frothingham, of Muassa-
chusetts, and some other building
nearby may have to be leased.
