MEXICO CITY, July 19.--Some
associates of Gen. Obregon recalled
yesterday that for two days and
nights a dog newt door to his home
had been bowling steadily, and that
nothing could induce it to cease.
Gen. Obregon even sent beefsteak
to the dog in an effort to quiet it,
but the bowling continued.
Gen. Obregon, with seeming jocu-
larity, had expressed wonder If the
bowling foretold misfortune.
The dog continued to howl dole
fully to the time when Obregon's
body was brought into his home.
Then with one last wild howl 1t
ceased.

AIRMEN FOIL
HOOVER HOPES
FOR SOLITUDE
Planes Sweep Down Daily
With important Visitors
to See Nominee.
BY PAUL r. MALLON

United Press staff CORRESPONDENT
PALO ALTO, Cal, Aug 8.-The
magnificent distances Of the western
landscape are offering no refuge in
solitude for Herbert Hoover, the Re
publican presidential nominee.
Every day, airplanes from the
North, South and East swoop down
on the Stanford University landing
field, almost in Hoover's front yard,
to bring business men, politicians,
friends and Government officials
for brief visits.
Trips which would be impossible
by train easily are made by the
growth of passenger flying on the
Pacific coast which is much further
advanced than in the East
Business Men Flying
Il have saved 400 business hours
since the beginning of the year in
my plane" Harry Culver, head of
the National Association of Real
Estate Exchanges, Culver City, Cal,
told the nominee when he dropped
out of the air Tuesday afternoon
to have dinner with Hoover.
Il have Travelled more than 10000
miles in my tri-motored Stinson-
Detroiter. Never had an accident"
William j. Kamm, assistant at
torney general, has caught the Pa
cific flying fever He had to go to
San Diego on business, and hoped
a plane Tuesday. He took along
the nominees 21-year old son, AL
Ian, who is intensely interested in
aviation. Allan had made two plane
trips to Los Angeles within the last
week.
Hoover has done no flying in re-
cent years and he is not happy
about the ease with which every
one gets here by plane.
He is seeking rest and solitude,
in preparation for the campaign,
and the airplane has thwarted his
plans He has, however, always
been interested in aviation develop
ments.
Slips OFF for Fishing
Culver warned the nominee
against over-confdence, which ne
said would breed lethargy in the
campaign.
IF you don't keep your muscles
in good trim they will grow stale"
Culver said. Il think it is neces-
sary to keep every one alive to the
fact that we are facing a real bat
tie"
John Knight, president protein.
of the New York State Senate. who
is representing New York State on
the notification committee, told the
nominee he believed New York
would go Republican. He said the
State is normally Republican.
Hoover slipped off and went fish
ing Tuesday in La Honda Creek, a
few miles back in the hills from his
home. He caught the legal limit of
ten pounds and one fish.
His plans were closely concealed,
so he would not have to face the
battery Of cameramen who are ac-
companying his party.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson g. McKinnon,

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Builish en-
thusiasm, which undoubtedly has
been induced because of the optim-
istic trade prospects, received a jolt
in Tuesdays session. There was
evidence in the activities which sat-
isfactorily proved that the market
has seen considerable discounting
and if it is to work into higher
ground, it will require considerable
more cooperation from the money
market than it has been receiving.
Tuesdays money market indicated
that it cannot supply the necessary
aid and, if any increased demand is
made upon it, the cost of money
will be further advanced. Until the
money market adjusts itself, it will
be difficult for the bull side to make
progress.N Hence, the advisability of
maintaining a conservative market
position.

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-The bearish
factors which sent wheat to new
lows Tuesday were again trading
influence today and wheat was
sharply lower on the Board of
Trade. Corn and oats continued to
decline.
Wheat opened Us to IL cent

Optimistic crop reports and heavy
selling sent wheat to new lows on
