Work Quietly for Him De-

BY RAY TUCKER

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Na-
tional political leaders do not be-
lieVe Herbert Hoover has eliminat-
ed himself from presidential con-
sideration because of his declara-
ton that he expects to see Presi-
dent Coolidge in the White House
for four more years.
In Hoover's explanation that he
could not take any other attitude
because of his sense of loyalty" T"
they discern the glow of the spark
of ambition for which he is noted.
Regarded as Leader
They predicate their belief he
may be a serious candidate only
on Coolidge's refusal to run, but
they continue to regard him as one
of the leading possibilities in that
event.
Certain it is that the Cabinet Of
ficer's group Of admirers scattered
throughout the country will not
abandon their efforts on his be-
half. despite their attitude Of walt
ing until Mr.. Coolidge discloses his
own plans.
1t is known that the influential
group which recently tried to en-
tice Charles Evans Hughes back
into the political arena have turned
to Hoover as a possible Coolidge
substitute. Included in this list are
some of the political strategists OF
the East.
Advised to Keep Silence
Secretary Hoover's friends have
advised him to maintain silence
with regard to his hopes and am
bitions. Until yesterday he followed
that advice, despite the attempt Of
former Senator Calder OF New
York to force him into the open
by publicly quoting Hoover as de-
claring for Coolidge. Hoover de-
clined to make any comment and
for more than two months he held
his peace.
Senator Calder has since ex-
planned that he did not intend to
commit Hoover to the Coolidge
candidacy.

BIZ United PresA

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON. July 23.-An at
tack upon the Monroe doctrine by
Venezuelan Delegate Rafelo Marti-
nez before the Pan-American Fed
Grafton Of Labor conference today
was peremptorily stopped by Presi-
dent william Green of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, presiding
officer who ruled Martinez out OF
order and rebuked him.
Private American banking inter-
ests are ~strangling" the people OF
Nicaragua in an effort TO obtain
control of the Nicaraguan National
Bank, Solomon De La Selva, Mica
raguan Federation of Labor dele~
gate, told the federation.
The American people, De La
Selva said, do not know what Is
going on in Nicaragua"
Many Reasons Given
zone day they are told the5
what is being done in Nicaragua Is
to safeguard American lives and
property and the next day that 1t
is to safeguard rights to a Nicara-
guam canal" he said. "The day
after, bolshevik conditions In Latin
America, with headquarters in Mex
leo, flare up in the minds of those
who control American property as
the reason"
Nov appeals are being made to
American public opinion to uphold
the dignity Of American armed
forces. But the real reason has not
been told.
Every revolution or political up
rising in Nicaragua and every in
Servention in Nicaragua has crys-
tallized in a loan contract whereby
American bankers obtained the
profit that should accrue to Mica
raguan workers. AS a result Of the
recent liberal revolution, an ar
rangement is being made whereby
the government of Nicaragua loses
to certain bankers its civil and po-
-
litical rights.
Resolution Is Adopted
"These are the only reasons for
the interventions in Nicaragua"
De La Selva spoke on a resolu-
ton introduced by the Nicaraguan
delegation which provided that the
Pan-American Federation request
its executive committee to try to
prevent the United States Govern
ment from assuming the position
toward Nicaragua now held by pri-
vate bankers.
The resolution, which was adopt
ed unanimously, also provides that
the Pan-American body shall give
its support to the Nicaraguan Fed
Grafton in activities against for
eigners.

BIZ United Press
DETROIT, July Soaring fam
wise from Detroit, three fliers will
set out within two weeks to clinch
the victory Of man over the air.
The big oceans have taken de-
cisive beatings recently, and now
men are out to beat the rest of the
world and hang up records for their
children to shoot ait.
An around-the world flight in fif-
teen days or less, nonstop flight
from Georgia across the equator
and over South Americas jungles
and mountains, and four-stop
flight from here to Australia will be
undertaken.

Next week, E. F. Schlee and Billy
Brock will fly to New York, pick up
a new motor and head for Harbor
Grace, N. F., to start globe grid
ling flight to beat the record OF
/ twenty eight days.

q boyish-man of 25, will fly to
{ eGlynn Isla, Ga, load up sandwiches
for couple of days flying and start
a solo trip to Rio De Janeiro, a dis
tance Of more than 4,200 miles. 1t
will be the longest nonstop flight
ever attempted and aviation experts
believe it will be the hardest. He
will encounter torrid heat and
freezing cold.
Australia Hop Longer
Frederick A. Giles, 20, who re-
Gently arrived here from Sydney,
announced the Australian flight to-
day. It will be 11,151 miles and the
longest leg, from Hawaii to Bris-
bane, is 4,709 miles, further even
than the trip Redfern plans to
make. It will start Aug. IL, with a
field Of planes competing in the
Dole race from San Francisco to
Hawaii.
Giles undertaking is his own idea,
but is financed by a Detroit con-
tractor who was born in Australia.
The first stop will be, of course,
at San Francisco, and he hopes to
make the flight from here to the
coast without stopping, covering the
2,1O0 miles in twenty-one hours.
Then he intends to win the Dole
race to Hawaii. From Honolulu he
will point his Detroit's Good VIII
Messenger toward Brisbane, Aus
tralia, a distance of 4,709 miles.
