letter on Tuesday to California

available as candidate for President
upon the Republican ticket, his sup
porters here announced yesterday
that they would begin Immediately a
nationwide campaign for the purpose
Of bringing about his nomination at
Chicago in June.
The Hoover boomers, chief among
whom are NJ L. Requa, a prominent
engineer; Captain ]. f. Lucey and
Ralph Arnold, spokesman for the
California group of Hooverites. de-
clared that if Hoover received the
Republican nomination he would
sweep the country and nothing would
be able to stop him. They declared
that the Republican party was in
danger of thinking it has a 'cinch'
/ this year and consequently would
throw away it's opportunities if it
permitted small groups to dictate the
nomination. Hoover, they said, was
the idea candidate because of his
ability to handle the big economic
problems of the country.
The main proposal 1T was stated. is
to organize the Hoover sentiment
which the Hoover men declare exists
all over the country To bring about
this result, the Hoover boomers in
tend to depart from old-style CAM
palgn methods and adopt system OF
nationwide publicity which viii re-
suit in such a popular demand for
the Californian that even the Repub-
lican bosses will be unable to resist

BASKETBALL fans in the Eastern

President William j. Scheffer in re-

Referee Herman Baetzel which occurred
at the conclusion of the Trenton Phil
adclphia game in the former city last
night and which was won by Philadel-
phia, score o.
The veteran whistle tooter was badly
cut over the eye and lip by Tom Bar
low, guard of the Trenton club. The
| latter was evidently peeved at his team
losing and decided to wreak vengeance
on the official.
Unless the Eastern League takes
drastic action in the matter the cage
organization might as we'll call the sea-
son at an end Immediately. AS it is
the referee has practically no protec-
tion and the rules are violated re-
peatedly.
What Manager Myers Says
Trenton is scheduled to play here

the latter's hall. Eighth and Locust
streets. William j. Myers, owner and
manager of the club. AYERS the attack
was absolutely unwarranted and one
that demands immediate legislation by

does not think the league head knew

Baetzel was seen this morning at his
