HOOVER REQUESTS
ONLY ONE NOMINATION
Issued Statement To-day Asking 9th
ers Not to Suggest That His Name
Be Placed in Primaries

New York, April 3.-Herbert Hoover
who has announced he is ready tc ac'
cept the Republican presidential nomi.
nation if il is demanded Of him, issued
a statement to-day in which he re-
quested he be not further embarrassed
by suggestions Of some independents
that his name be placed before any
other party, as "a primary sense OF
team work in any party organization
would preclude such possibility.
Mr.. Hoover said he had no great rec.
ord Of partisan activity and admit
ted" that his political activity was
confined to membership in a prominent
club and allegiance to the party over a
period of years. He added that be-
cause Of his profession Of a mining en-
gineer, continual shift of residence had
prevented him from exercising as much
as he desired the privilege of every
citizen at the polls.
Asserting that 8;a administrative
duties i'm various rehSt organizations
would prevent him from making per-
sonal canvass for the nomination, Mr..
Hoover said he expected Hoover organ
izations throughout the country would
have to cxpend certain amounts for
printing and other expenses. but that
he hoped they would contine themselves
to minor subscriptions and eNpesdl
lures and would be prepared to open
their books TO public inspection.
Mr.. Hoover requested that men and
women advocating his nomination
bear in mind that personal criticism
OF the other names before the party Is
chiefly Of service to the opposition
"All these men" he said, are pa
triotic. honorable Americans. They
have all served the country well and
arc entitled to respect"
Because he had refused to allow his
name put into the primaries, Mr.. HooN
or declared that there was little or
ganization" on his behalf and, at this
late date no organization Is possible
that could compete with other organ
izations. He urged that his supporters
confine their energies to promotion Of
their views to the country and the dele
gates already named. with full respect
to their prior pledges.
Mr.. Hoover said that he had no eN-
pectation that his entrance into the
presidential race would be welcomed by
the type Of person who conceivcs that
fitness for Office. patriotism and citizen
ship. depend upon placing sheer par
tisanship above national interest or
who requires years of demonstrated
participation in work with mechanical
politicians

TWELVE NAMES ON
MICHIGAN PRIMARY
There Are Seven Republicans and Five
Democrats in the List to Be
Voted For on Monday.

Detroit, Mich, April 3.--1he prefer
ence of Michigan Republicans and DEM
ocrats for presidential nominees viii be
registered next Monday in the states
second presidential preference primary.
Republicans have field OF seven to
choose from, while the Democrats have
entered five in the lists. Two of the
latter, William j. Bryan and William
G.. McAdoo, made unsuccessful efforts
to have their names removed from the
ballots. Withdrawal after certification,
however, is not permitted under the
state election laws, and the two names
remained on the ballots.
An unusual situation results from
the fact that the name OF Herbert
Hoover appears on both Republican
and Democratic tickets. The double fl
ing for the former food administrator
was made possible when the states at
torney- general rule imperative, as ap-
piled to the presidential primary, the
amendment passed by the last legis-
lature requiring from candidates an al
fidavit of party affiliation.
The Republican ticket comprises Sen
ators Poindexter Of Washington and
johnson of California, General Perish
ing, Major General Leonard Wood, Gov
ernor Lowden of Illinois, Mr.. Hoover
and William G.. Simpson of Detroit
On the Democratic ticket besides Mr..
Hoover, MIR. McAdoo and Mr.. Bryan,
are Governor Edward l. Edwards of
New Jersey and Attorney General
Palmer.
Eugene V. Dehs of Indiana is the
sole candidate on the Socialist ticket,
How far the preference of the voters
expressed in the primary will be re-
garded as binding upon the 30 dele
gates Michigan win send TO each ma
tional convention is matter OF specu-
lation. No provision is made in the
primary law binding the delegation to
the primary expression, and the state s
representatives at the convention may,
If they so choose, swing their weight TO
another candidate after the first ballot
is cast.
Vigorous campaigns conducted by
several Of the leading candidates and
the fact that in many cities and town
ships important local issues are to
come up at the same time is expected
to bring out large vote this year.
Bonding issues are 90 be halloted upon
in many communities.
That heavy vote viii be brought
out in Detroit is regarded as a fore
gone conclusion. Here a street railway
bonding proposition is expected to over
iadow interest in the presidential pri-
mary. The proposal is to bond the city
for Sl5,000,00 with which to establish
a municipality owned traction system
to compete with the present Detroit
United railway. A hot campaign has
been made on this proposition, Mayor
James Couens, its sponsor, personally
speaking at score of meetings, and
the editorial columns of the newspa-
pers making strong arguments on the
issue.

HANLEY CASE
is MOL PR0SSED
Former State Purchasing
Agent Will Not Be
Prosecuted
INDICTED ON CHARGE
OF TAKING ST., 200
Attorney General Archi-
bald Made Request That
the Case Be Dropped

The case Of State VS.. Dewey 7. Han
ley, formerly state purchasing agent,
was mol pressed in Washington county
court this morning by the states Off
GERS. Mr.. Hanley was indicted by the
grand jury two years ago on 10 counts
of larceny and 10 counts of embezzle-
ment, these being duplicate counts in
which it was alleged that Mr.. Hanley
took state funds amounting to about
81 200 The case has been ON the dock
ct since that time
In explaining the request for the mol
pros, Attorney General Archibald said :
''If the court please, there is on the
docket the case of State vs.. Dewey T.
Hanley. Now it Is with no desire to
avoid the discharge OF every duty that
the state casts upon prosecuting ofli-
GERS, that the states attorney and my
self at this time ask that mol pros be
entered in that case.
Il will state here that | have given
the case lengthy and as careful con
sideration of all the evidence that
can find, and all that has been sug-
gested to me, having before me the
transcript Of the testimony upon which
the Indictment was based, and ] believe
that it is only just to the state OF
Vermont and to the respondent, whose
rights / am just as much obligated TO
look after as ! am the state, to say
that justice requires that we do not
put the state Of Vermont or the re-
spondent either to the expense Of trial
in that case. and | therefore move that
it be mol pressed, and I understand
that Mr.. Davis concurs with me in that
view"
The court said: "Mr. Clerk, in No,
IS, State W. Dewey T. Hanley, you
may enter mol pros at this time"
