Washington, Aug. 28. — Continuing
conferences with Republican cam-
p2ign managers in the ast, Herbert
Hoover today was assembling informa-
tion upon which to base a decision as
to the extent he will participate per-
sonally ‘in the presidential fight there.

Reports received by Hoover since his
return from the West indicate that
the eastern situation is one requiring
attention and his advisers are urging
him to go into New York, Massachu-
setts 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 eection time. It ts certain that he
will tane advantage of his swing back
to his home in California to vote for
making a series of addresses. Whether
he will take the northern route hame,
through Wisconsin, Minnesota, Mon-
tana and Oregon, or the southern’
route remains to be determined.

Should Hoover decide to make a
Laber day address next Monday, it
will be in Washington, with a radio
hookup, it was stated today at his of-
fice. However, the candidate thinks
the time is too short for the prepara-
tion of an address.

Representatives of the Republican
candidate still were seeking today to
secure a building in which to open his
personal headquarters. There has
been some delay in obtaining the
home of the late Representative
Frothingham of Massachusetts, and
some other building nearby may have
to be leased‘
