Chicago, June 5.-Herbert Hoover
will be formally presented to the
Republican national convention as
the party's candidate for the Presi-
dency.
As foreshadowed in my dispatch
of last night, Mr.. Hoover will be
offered to the convention by the
New York delegation. AS at pres
ent planned, he will be placed in
nomination by Judge Nathan l..
Miller, of the New York State Court
of Appeals. Judge Miller heads the
list of delegates-at-large from the
Empire State. He arrived in Chi
cago today with the vanguard of
the New York delegation and i'm
mediateIy announced he was for
Mr.. Hoover and intended voting for
him in the convention.
No speech Planned.
1t is planned now not to have any
formal nominating speech made in
Mr. Hoover's behalf, but merely to
have his name submitted to the
convention in the briefest possible
form that will answer the purpose.
1t is definitely understood. however.
if a nominating speech is deemed
advisable, Judge Miller will make It.
Hoover talk, already following
the crescendo stream, was stimulat-
ed by a statement which / know TO
be well substantiated, that a U. s.
Senator from an important South
western state is prepared to second
the nomination of Mr.. Hoover.
Judge Miller is one of the fore
most Republicans of New York. He
is a Syracuse lawyer of statewide
eminence and has been urged by
his friends to accept the guberna-
torial nomination this year. AT
what exact moment he will offer
Mr.. Hoover to the convention is
not yet determined. 1t does not
seem likely it will be until after
New York's vote has been cast more
or less in it's entirety for DIR. Mich
olas Murray Butler.
Dixie for Hoover. Too.
Hoover headqusl ters at the Audi
torium Hotel bustles with activity
and is wreathod wide in confidence
as the fateful hour approaches.
Prominent Republicans from all sec
tions of the country streamed into
Headquarters tcCay to proclaim
their faith ir Mr.. Hoover as the one
certain guarantee of triumph in
1920. Ex-Gov. Charles S. Whitman.
of New York, was enc of the promi-
nent callers. Two Hoover enthu-
siasts, Oscar S. Straus, formerly
Amb 1ssador to Turkey, and Mrs.
Straus, announced they had come
from the East to place themselves
at the disposal of the Hoover man
agement. DR.. klorzo e. Taylar, of
Philadelphia, the food expert, was
another visitor. Alfred NJ. Coates,
the Rhode Island manufacturer.
came in to tell of the Hoover senti-
ment that is sweeping New England
and which is determined to find ex-
pression on the convention floor.
Jesse NJ. Littleton. Republican na-
tional committeeman from Tennes-
see. said that his section of Dixie
land is strong for Hoover"
Many Hoover Enthusiasts.
Chicago, of course. is full of local
Hoover enthusiasts. Harry A.
Wheeler. for many years at the head
of the Chicago Association of Com
merce and for two terms president
of the United States Chamber of
Commerce, is at Hoover's headquar-
ters daily to welcome business men
from his nation wide circle of ac-
uuaintance. Chicago's merchant
prince. Julius Rosenwald, wears a
Hoover button with great pride. His
regard for the former food admins
traitor was heightened by their re-
