Washington, D, C., Aug. 28—(/)—
Continuing conferences with Re-
publican committee managers in
‘east, Herbert Hoover today was as-
sembling information on which to
base a decision as to the extent he

will participate personally in the
presidential fight here.

William H. Hill, chairman of the

New York state Hoover committee,
had an engagement with the Re-
publican standard. bearer to sup-
plement the advices gven him yes-
terday by Charles D. Hiles, national
committeeman for New York, and
Daniel E. Pomeroy, vice. chairman
of the New Jersey. committee. |
East Requires Attention
Reports received by Hoover since
his return from the West indicate
that the eastern situation requires
attention and his advisors are urg-
ing him to go into New York, Mas-
sachusetts 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 position
to map out fairly well his campaign
up to election time. It is certain
that he will take adavantage of his
swing back to his home in Califor-
nia to vote after making a series of
addresses. Whether, he will take
the northern route home, through
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana and
Oregon, or the southern route re-
mains to be determined. .
To Visit Middle West
Before that time he very probab-
ly will go into the Middlewest,
speaking at Chicago and some oth-
er cities, and also into the border
states, but these addresses are like-
ly to follow those in the East.
Should Hoover decide to make a
labor Day address next Mohday, it
will be in Wasington 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 Republican
candidate still were seeking today
to secure a building in which to
open his personal headquarters. ~
Can't Find Office Room
The delay is causing the nom-
inee some inconvenience as he has
no place to carry on his office work,
which is piling up. He also wants
a suitable assembling place for del-
egations that will come here to see
him and for the accommodaticn ot
newspaper correspondents.
| It is indicated that after the of-
fice is set up, Hoover will see the
correspondents much more fre-
quently than he did on ‘his © recent
western tour. He probably will talk
with them three times a week, but
there is no indication that he wil
