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

Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana and
Oregon, or the southern route re-
mains to be determined. .
To Visit Middle West

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.

will be in Wasington with a radio
hookup, it was stated today at his

a suitable assembling place for del-
egations that will come here to see
him and for the accommodaticn ot
newspaper correspondents.

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
