BIG BUSINESS
BACKS HOOVER
Hughes Is Second Choice of
Financial Interests.
BY CARL ID. GROAT
United Press STAN Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Repre-
sentative business interests said to-
day they hope to see Secretary of
Commerce Hoover succeed to the
presidency.
At the moment he is, for this
group, the leading Republican pos
sibility, with Charles Evans Hughes
of New York a close second.
Vice President Dawes, it was said,
is regarded as too Spectacular" by
the business group.
Hughes has substantial follow
ing, but it is doubted that he is
willing to undertake again strenuous
campaigning. He is credited with
making fabulous sums II his law
practice.
Frank Lowden, as far relief ed-
vocate, is frowned upon by Wall
Street.
Many men with money are a bit
doubtful about Dawes. Wall Street
dislikes his farm relief position.
Some business leaders fear he
might act on the spur of the mo-
ment on some important issue that
would have an unfavorable reaction
on business.
Henry Ford's advocacy Of the
Commerce Secretary last week was
the first gun in the campaign OF fl
nance interests to start a boom for
him. Now other money powers are
taking up the cry They feel
Hoover is sound" man, with
proven experience in engineering,
business and organization.
He would do nothing to disturb
business, they say, and it is felt that
he would inspire confidence in in
dustry.

DAWES CITES
FARLEY ERROR
BIames Lack of Preparation
for Geneva Failure.

Bp United Press
BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 8.-Vice-
President Charles G.. Dawes Sug-
gested that the Geneva conference
failed because none of the parties
had given sufficient time in prepare
ton, in his address at dedication
ceremonies here yesterday at the
international bridge.
In the presence of the Prince OF
Wales and Prime Minister Baldwin
of Great Britain and Secretary of
State Kellogg, Dawes suggested that
in preparing for the conference both
England and the United States de-
voted all their attention to their
own needs and practically none to
the problems of the other.
His frank discussion was in direct
contrast to Prime Minister Baldwin
yelled reference to Geneva. Bald
win said that while England and
the United States had disagreed
they remained the best of friends
The Prince of Wales expressed
pleasure at being present at the
dedication of a bridge connecting
Canada and the United States after
more than 100 years of peace.

COOLIDGE and 4
Wilbur CONFER I
ON NAVY PLAN
Expansion Program Is Fa-
vored by Secretary Be-
cause of Geneva Failure. ]
BY PAUL X. MALLON
United Press staff Correspondent


RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. g.
Secretary Of Navy. Wilbur arrives
here today to talk over with Presi-
dent Coolidge the future program
of the American navy, following
breakdown of the Geneva arms limi-
tation conference.
The United Press is informed that
the navy department. already has
worked out project for building UP
the naval strength on basis COM
mensurate with the British p gram.
The American scale would provide
twenty additional 10000 ton cruis-
ers, including eight now under con-
struction or authorized. 1t also
would provide more capital ships to
replace those which will be con-
sidered obsolete in 1881.
Wilbur long has been an advocate
of a strong navy. In face of the
Presidents demand for curtailment
he has insisted that the United
States should strengthen its sea
force.
Mr.. Coolidge was not surprised at
the collapse of the Geneva confer
ence. He knew it was coming five
DAYS before the complete break
down was officially made known.
At that time he served warning that
the United States could not be
pledged to any program which in
creased the navies of the world over
the present status.

GENERAL WOOD
TO Be BURIED
IN ARLINGTON
PoIitiCo- Military Career
Was Both Spectacular
and Stormy.

! BIZ Urited Press
BOETON, Aug. g. Major General
Leonard Wood will be buried in
Arlington National Cemetery Tues
day morning with full military
honors.
There his body will rest not far
from the White House he so nearly
occupied, among the graves of the
Rough Riders he commanded with
Theodore Roosevelt.
Major Burto.4 Read, personal aid
to the general, made the funeral
announcement. He said the de-
parture for Washington with the
body, would be Monday night.
Wood died in Peter Bent Brigham
Hospital at 100 a. m. Sunday fol-
lowing an operation for tumor on
his skull Saturday morning.
Mrs. Wood was with her husband
at his Eeath.
Suffered Several Months
DR.. Alexander Lambert said Wood
had been suffering for months from
the growth of a tumor which was
believed to have been removed
seventeen years ago.
Woods politico-military career
was both Spectacular and stormy.
He was born in Winchester, N.
H., on Oct. 9, 1860. He attended
Pierce Academy at Middleboro,
Mass, and went to Harvard and
was graduated in 1884 as doctor
of medicine. Two years later he
became an Army medico.
Fought Indians il 1886
He was awarded the Compression
al medal of honor for his conduct
during a campaign against the
Apache Indians in 1886. Later, mil
itary honors from the principal
world powers were to come to him.
During the Spanish American war
he was instrumental in organizing
the first regiment of United States
volunteer cavalry. He went into
action as a colonel, with Theodore
Roosevelt as his second in command.
He was honorably discharged from
volunteer service with the Rough
Riders" and became military COVER
nor of Cuba from December, 1899, to
May, 1902.
Roosevelt Advanced Him
President Roosevelt made Wood a
brigadier general in 1901, when the
temporary volunteer commission
ended. Roosevelt was criticised for
| jumping Wood over the heads OF
other officers, but replied he knew
Wood was able.
Wood hoped to lead the American
Armies to Europe in 1917, but Per-
shing was named, and Wood trained
men in camps in this country.
During the Republican presiden-
tial convention in 1920, Woods can
didacy was so prominent that he
and Frank Lowden deadlocked the
convention and Harding eventually
was selected.
One of the first acts of Harding'S
administration was to name Wood
Governor General Of the Philip
pines, and Coolidge retained him.

Another thing this young man OF
gigantic frame does not particular
ly care for is talking about himself.
He is duly appreciative OF the praise
given his sensational play for the
Yankees this year. but when :. gu
ask him questions, 1t Is with modest
reluctancy that he answers.
For as he tells it
IT'S just like a great big dream.
I didn't have any idea I'd be a
member of the Yankees when was
in college. I played little base
ball and a little football Che was
Koppisch's running mate in his
sophomore year at Columbia and
gave promise of becoming a back of
All-American caliber) but was just
studying with a sort of hazy idea of
what I'd do when J got out,
Then came the offer at the end
OF my sophomore year TO join the
Yankees and did. You know the
rest-a couple of seasons at Hart
ford and then back and here ! am.
Gee. I'm lucky-to be with the best
ball club in the world"
There was q merry twinkle in
those frank blue eyes and happy
smile on his face as he walked
away with that CHEEKY "bye-bye" he
always extends.
