“Continuing git Nae ~< F
publican campaign ma in the
East, Herbert Heover today was
assemblying information upon
which to base a d on as to the
extent he will pa ate personal-
ly in the presiden 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 com-
'mitteeman for New York, and Dan-
iel E. Feomeroy, vice chairman of
the New Jersey committee.
-. Reports received by Hoover
sinee his retrrn from the West
indicate that the Eastern situation
‘is one requiring attention and his
advisers are urging him to go inte
New York, Massachusetts and
New Jersey for at least one speech
for each state and more if time
ean be found for them.
| Will Speak in Midwest
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. Whether he
will take the northern route home,
‘through Wisconsin, Minnesota,
'Montana and Oregon, or the
|southern roate, remains to be de-
termined.
| Before that time he very probab-
‘ly wil go inte 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 no: later than early

| Shovld Hoover decide to make a
, Labor day address next M-nday.
‘it will be in Washington, with a

_didate thinks the time is too short

nineteen years old he came to North
Dakota where he worked in a bank,
operated a general store and later be-
came a traveling salesman.

In 1907 he entered the fuel, seed
and “feed business at Grand Forks as
A. G,. Sorlie and Company. The énter-
prise was successful and was the basis
for a considerable fortune which he
later aecumulated in other business
endeavors.

Despite his extensive interests, the
Non-Partisan League selected him as
its standard bearer in 1924 and he
won the gubernatorial election after
a hot fight with R. A. Nestos, the
Republican incumbent. He was re-
elected ‘in 1926, but did not seek re-
nomination this yenr.

sociations. He was chairman ct the
