We were trying to walk with utter

Hoover's statement said:
"The question of a special session
of congress after March 4 in the
event of the return of the Repub-
lican party has been under discus
sion for some time.
There are a number Of questions,
particularly agricultural relief, which
should not be delayed for a whole
year.
Urges Early Action
at is our most urgent economic
problem. hope it can be dealt
with at a regular session this fall
and that special session avoided.
'If, however, that cannot be ac-
complished, would, if elected, not
allow the matter to drift and would
of necessity call an extra session so
as to secure early constructive
action"
The direct statement from Hoover
issued from his headquarters today,
followed a two-day discussion Of the
move at his headquarters. The
question was opened two days ago by
Governor Adam McMullen of Me-
braska, who said Hoover had inti-
mated to him several weeks ago that
he planned to call an extra session
if elected.
BOrah Urged Plan Friday
This brought a statement from
Hoover headquarters that no conclu-
sion had been reached on the
matter.
Senator Borah of Idaho, after q
conference with the Republican cam
didate Friday, issued a statement
urging a special session. Hoover is
expected to reiterate this announce
ment and again recite in detail his
farm relief program in his st. Louis

How the Market
Opened
BY ELMER c. WALLER,
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-After 60
ing through a one-hour period of
drastic correction yesterday after
noon the stock market today ap-
peared in a stronger technical posi-
ton. Opening prices generally were
higher, some gains running to four
or five points. U. S. Steel, General
Motors, Westinghouse Electric,
American Can and Radio were early
leaders.
Substantial gains we're recorded
in such issues as Union Carbide,
Greene Cananea, Cerro De Pasco
Kennecott and Atlantic Refining.
Trading was quiet on the recovery.
Weekly trade reviews we're favor
able and general business reports
continued optimistic. Nevertheless,
there was still considerable appre-
hension regarding the outcome of
the election and many showed a
disposition to take profits in the
rise.
Chrysler, for example, rose to
1891, up "a, and then sagged back
to 1913. General Motors reached
218h and then dropped back to
BITS, up rs, and Radio, after
touching $50, was forced down to
228A, up 22i.
On the other hand, United States
Steel maintained a strong tone
around 1607s, up19s from the pre-
vious close, while heavy buying con-
tinued in Western Union, sending
the issue up 5l9 points to 1891.
Union Carbide also was strong, SELL
ing at 1868, up SIS.
A. M. ByerS rose 2 points to 158,
Westinghouse Electric rs to 1109s,
Montgomery Ward 1 Y to 337, Cen
eral Electric a point to 168, Gold
Dust '3% to 104% and Bethlehem
Steel nearly point to So.
Greene Cananea featured the cop
per shares with a rise of more than
three points. American Smelling,
Kennecott and others of the copper
group continued in demand. At
lantic Refining led the oils, while
Sstandard Gas was the feature of
the utility division. st. Louis South
western was the best performer in
the rails, reaching 1909 up 37s
points.
