By ihe Associated Press. :

Los Angeles, Cal. Aug. 27.—A bill
of complaint demanding an account-
ing of $10,000,000 was filed in the
United States district court today
against Edward L. Doheny and the
Pan-American Petroleum and Trans-
port company. The bill which charges
that stockholders of the company lost
this sum thru alleged fraud on the
part of Doheny in the famous Elk
Hills oil scandal, was filed by a Los
Angeles law firm on behalf of Frank
H. Kunkel, attorney, of Cincinnati,
who brought the suit in the interests
of himself and other stockholders.

The bill declares that the $10,000,000
was lost by the stockholders solely be-
cause Doheny acted fraudulently in
connection with the leasing from for-
mer Secretary cof the Interior Albert
B. Fall of the Elk Hills naval oil re-
serve, and thru large sums spent in
development of the fields themselves,
and elsewhere in connection with the
deal. It demands that an accounting
be made by Doheny and that such
money as was expended in the alleged
giving of a $100,000 bribe to Fall, and
in the development of the fraudulent-
ly leased fields, be returned to the
stockholders.

The complaint declares that neither
Kunkel nor the other stock holders
had any hand in the alleged fraud
whereby the money was lost. He al-
leges that demand was made some
time ago upon the board of directors
of the oil company for the starting of
legal action against Doheny to force
the accounting and recovery of this
money and that the board had done
nothing. He also demands that when
the accounting is rendered, the court
Issue a decree and judgment against
Doheny compelling him personally to
repay this money to the stockholders.

at his honie here, Herbert Hoover

ping out his program for the re-
mainder of the campaign.

* The republican presidential

tention to the East, and in order
to inform himself fully as to the
situation there he has invited a
number of friends to call on him at

his new headquarters which are to
be set up here. ‘4

He now has under consideration
a visit to both New York, home
state of his democratic opponent,
and Massachusetts, but his Eastern
itinerary will not be decided upon
until after he has conferred fully
with those in charge of his cam-
paign fn that section,

The repuslican candidate's view
is that he ‘should defer further
specch-making for two weeks or
more and then begin an intensive
drive which would carry him into
the border states and the South as
well.as the Kast. He also proba-
bly will make a trip to Chicago be-
fore beginning his final swing
across the continent at the close
of the campaign.

In working out details of his
itinerary Hoover will seck: advice
of Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of
the republican national committee:
Representative Walter Newton of
Minnesota; who has charge of the

national speakers’ bYerau; Repre-
sentative John Q. Tilson, of Cin-
cinnati, director of the eastern
Speakers’ bureau, and James W
