Washington, Aug. 2S— (#) —Con-
tinuing conferences with Republican
campaign managers in the east, Her-
bert Hoover today was assemblying
information upon which to hase a de-
cision as to the extent he will partic-
ipate personally in the presidential
‘fight there.
| William H. Hill, chairman of ‘the
New York state Hoover committee,
had an engagement with the Republi-
ean standard bearer to supplement
the advices given him yesterday by
Charles D. Hilles, national committee-
man for New York, and Daniel FR.
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 in each state.

It is certain that he will take ad-
vantage of his swing back to his home
in California for making a series of
addresses,

Before that time he very probably
will go into the Middle West, speak-
ing at Chicago and some other cities,
and also into the border states, but
these addresses are likely to follow
those in the East.

Representatives of the Republican
candidate still were seeking today to.
secure a building in which to open his
personal headquarters.

The delay is causing the, nominee
some inconvenience as he has no
place to carry on his office work. He
also wants a_ suitable assemblying
place for delegations that will come
here to see him and for the accom-
modation of the newspaper correspon-
dents assigned to his headquarters.
