SEES NEW ENGLAND
SOLID FOR HOOVER
Moses Predicts Clean Sweep.
Feels battle-ground viii
Lie in East.

Herbert Hoover, Republican nominee
for President, today received from SEN
ctor George H. Moses of New Hamp-
SHIRE, who was chairman of the national
convention at Kansas City. a prediction
that the Republicans will carry every
lFaw England State in the forthcoming
election.
The Senator at the same time ad-
vanced the suggestion that Hoover re-
oclve the formal notification of his NOM
nation on his f1fty-fifth birthday an
niversary, August 10. Hoover will leave
for his home at Stanford University pc
tween July and S, 1t was announced
today N his office.
Emerging from Hoover'S office to greet
group of newspaper men, Senator
Moses declared that, on the basis OF ms
10 years of experience in politics, he Will
venture the prediction that Hoover will
make a clean sweep of New England
and will win New York.
Odds ON Hoover Jump
He declared that as a result of the
"fIack-Van Namee-Smith combination
Of statements" Yesterday regarding Gov.
Smiths wet stand, the Republican ho-
yizon has grown even brighter. The odos
that Hoover will beat Smith in the Gov
errors own State have increased from
even money to 21a to l. he asserted.
For every wet Republican that
Smith will gain. he will lose two dry
Democratic women" Senator Moses
said. 1T always have been skeptical
about Smiths ability to carry New
York in a presidential election. His
ability to carry New York in a gubar-
material election is whole lot differ
ent from trying to carry 1t in presi-
Dental election"
Senator Moses and Representative
Newton of Minnesota, who also was q
caller at Hoover's Office today, agreed
that the main battle-ground in the
campaign will lie in the East.
| II want to tell you that the Middle
West is all for Hoover and Curtis" he
stated. The farmers out there never
were sold on the McNary-Haugen bill
anyway. The farmers out where !
come from are confident that some
really constructive farm legislation will
come to them under Hoover Curtis
regime"
Mr. Newton is slated to head the ma
uonal speakers committee for the
campaign.
Likely to Resign.
He said he had not been notified of
his selection for this post, but added
that If 1t were true. he probably would
resign from the House committee which
is to investigate campaign expenditures.
He said this committee should be q
|, highly judicial body"
The Republican campaign was get
ting under way rapidly today. Secre-
tary Work. chosen yesterday as chair
| man Of the Republican national COM
mittee, which also will be the campaign
committee, spent most Of the morning
inspecting office sites In the downtown
section. with view to leasing a central
campaign headquarters here. Branch
headquarters also will be established In
New York and Chicago.
Dr.. Work will resign from the cabi-
! net about July L. He will hand his
resignation to President Coolidge at the
Summer White House. Works imme-
diate problems now following selection
of the local headquarters will be the
naming of campaign managers for the
Eastern and Western divisions, James
w. Good Of Iowa, Hoover's pre-conveas
ton manager. who win arrive here to-
morrow, Is expected to get the Western
assignment. The Eastern position still
is In the air. 1t appears.
On leaving Washington Secretary
Hoover probably will go first to Brule,
Wis. for conference with the Presi-
dent DR.. Work may accompany him.
From Brule Mr. Hoover will 20 direct
to his home overlooking the campus Of
Stanford University. Of which institu-
ton he is trustee.
To Receive Committee.
There. toward the end Of July or II
Senator Moses suggestion is adopted,
on August 10. he win receive the spc-
cial committee appointed by the Re-
publican national committee to notify
him formally Of his nomination. Sem
ator Moses Is chairman ex-officio Of
this committee.
Hoover's address Of acceptance on
this occasion apparently will be hts
first public utteraace following his
nomination. Suggestions for a speech

collapse OF the threatened farm revolt
at Kansas City.
