state of his democratic opponent,
and Massachusetts, but his Eastern

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.

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

sentative John Q. Tilson, of Cin-
cinnati, director of the eastern
Speakers’ bureau, and James W
Good, of Iowa, western campaign
