Washington, Aug. 28.—Continuing
conferences with republican cam-
paign managers in the east, Herbert
Hoover today was assembling infor-
mation upon which to base a decision
as to the extent he will participate
personally in the presidential fight
there.

William H. Hill, chairman of the
New York state Hoover committee,
had an engagement with the repub-
lican 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 thie 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 east-
ern situation, he will be in a posi-
tion to fairly well map out his cam-
paign up to election time. It is cer-
tain that he will take advantage of
his swing back to his home in Callt-
fornia 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 route re-
mains to be determined.

Before that time he very probably
will go into the middle west, speak-
ing at Chicago and some cther cities,
and also into the border states, but
these addresses are likely to follow
those in the east. Some of his ad-
visers think he should speak in
New York and nearby states not
later than early October.

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