HOOVER TO VISIT
IN CONNECTICUT
G. 0. p. Wants People of
State to Meet Party'S
Standard Bearer.


HARTFORD, Conn, August 25.--
State Senator Frederic c. Walcott, a
member of the Hoover notification COM
mittee and personal friend of the candi-
date, whose guest he was after the
ceremony, brought back from California
the glad tidinCs that Mr.. Hoover Will
visit this State before the close of
the campaign. He will be the guest of
National Committeeman J, Henry Rora-
back and members of the Republican
state central committee, of which Mr..
Roraback is chairman The nominee
will it is expected, come here about
October /,
II IS believed that the visit will be
used to let the people of Connecticut
meet Mr.. Hoover. rather than to be
given to set speech by the candidate.
While Connecticut cannot yet be re-
garded as a doubtful State, it is true
that the Smith movement IS making
some inroadS on the Republican vote,
especially in the cities. and Repub-
lican leaders will be glad to have Mr..
Hoover come here in the closing month
OF the campaign TO StitTen the party
up bit.
Senator WaIcott. who was associated
with Mfr Hoover in food administration,
has support for the Republican nomi-
nation for United States Senator and
will have the argument IN his favor
that on account Of his friendly reia-
tons with the party standard bearer,
he would. in the event OF the election
Of Mr.. Hoover and himself. give Con-
necticut influence with the national adj
mnistration. Other Republican Sena-
torial possibilities are Tax Commissioner
a Ts~XN NFAl4t AL.
Commissioner Robbins II. Stoeckel.
The announcement this week that
United States Senator George =. Me
Lean has accepted an invitation to be
temporary chairman Of the Republican
State convention. at which his successor
will be nominated, seems To settle finally
in the negatlve-thc question whether
he will be- a candidate before that con-
vention Senator Mclean announced
some time ago his determination To
retire at the end Of his present tArm,
but there had until recently, been Il
hope on the part OF Republican leaders
that he might be Induced to reconsider
and relieve the party of the necessity
of swapping horses in a presidential
campaign
For tbs succession 10 Senator Me-

the fourth Democratic leaders do not
appear to warm up To the idea although
at one, time they We're talking about
lndorsing TilSon. Democratic indorse-
ment of Republican candidates would
unquestionahiy keep at home some OF
the friends OF these candidates ON cleo
ton day and thus might help the Demo-
cratic national ticket. but IL would be
strategy OF doubtful value, as II would
