WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 (7:
Continuing conferences with
republican campaign man-
agers in the east, Herbert
Hoover today was assembling
information upon which to
hase a decision as to the ex-
ent he will participate ,per-
tonally in the presidential

fight there.

William H. Hill chairman of the
New York state Hoover committee,
had an engagement with the republi-
can standard bearer to supplement
the advices given him yesterday by
Charlies D. Hilles national commit-
teeman for New York, and Danie! E.
Pomeroy, vice chairman of the New
Jersey committee. .

Reports received by Hoover since
his return from the West indicate
that the 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
nd more if time can be found for

m. |

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
ne will take advantage of his swing
pack to his home in California to
vote for making a series of addresses.

Should Hoover decide to make a
wabcor day address next Monday, it

| NEW YORK, Aug. 28 (@)
—With a brief speech of
‘thanks to the people of New
Jersey who hailed him so up-
roariously during his four day
|visit there, Governor Smith
has fired his first shot in his
fight for the presidency since
ihe was formally proclaimed
the democratic standard

bearer.

While impromptu and not on the
issues of the day, the address was
delivered amid atmosphere so un-
| mistakably political that it was gen-
‘erally accepted as having put the
‘nominee up to the front line
trenches for the battles to come.
pons for his speaking itinerary were
‘down for discussion at conferences
here today, and the governor will
leave tomorrow morning for Syra-
cuse to attend a dinner there tomor-
row night and the state fair the
‘next day.
| Governor Smith’s first speech,
‘made shortly before midnight from
‘a small decorated platform on the
city hall steps in Newark, surround-
ed by a howling, torch-bearing
crowd that flooded into the streets,
| surprised nearly everyone in his
party, as he had passed the word
that he intended to make no open
‘air speeches unless forced to do so.
| This evidently was a case where
‘he was forced, for the throngs that
greeted him during the late after-
noon and night as he made his way
by automobile up to New York
from Spring Lake, N. J., gave him
an ovation as tumultuous as that of
last Friday when he was en route to
the big democratic rally at Sea Girt.
- With difficulty the nominee el-
bowed his way through the crowd to
the steps then, with hat off and his
hands on the railing in front of him,
he his sorrow at having to
leave New Jersey and declared he had
never Seen a greater display of en-
thusiasm for a cause than that shown
for him in his neighbor state.

Just before leaving the stand to
fight his way back to his car, the gov-
ernor was greeted by another tre-
-mendous shout, led by Charlies P.
Gillan, a Newark city commissioner,
who had introduced him, g
“three cheers for the next president
of the United States.”

Coming slowly on through Jersey
City to the tune of freight trains,
drawbridge and small boat whistles,
the democratic nominee was given a
touch of local enthusiasm when he
‘reached the New York end of the
vehicular tunnel.
| “Hurrah for Al,” shouted*a group of
several hundred residents of the old
| Fifth ward who came to weicome him
back to his native city.
| Owing to the big send-off Gsvernor
‘Smith today was more convinced than
ever that New Jersey was safe for him
in November.
