road-the Buffalo, Rochester &
Pittsburgh-the majority stock Of
which they purchased for approx
mately $11,0OO,O0O.
Acquisition Of the 6OO-mile line
serving the rich soft coal fields of
pennsylvania brings their combined
holdings up to nearly 10000 miles
of roadway. Their roads have a
total value of over a billion dollars.
Control of the road was secured
by the Van Sweringens through pur-
chase Of 81 per cent Of the stock
from the investment banking houses
Of A. Iselin & Co. and Roosevelt &
Sons. They also, by agreement with
the former owners, offered to nav
the same price, 500 a share, for the
stock Of the minority stockholders.
Time limit on the offer was set at
3 p. m. December 10.
Acquisition of the new line
strengthens the Van Sweringens'
position in negotiations looking to-
ward the consolidation of the east
ern roads into four great systems.
Under the tentative plans worked
out by the Pennsylvania, the New
York Central, the Baltimore & Ohio,
and the Van Sweringen interests,
later abandoned, the road would
have gone to the New York Central.
l.. F. Loree also attempted to Sc
cure the road for his unsuccessful
project Of creating fifth trunk line
system. With failure of Mr.. Loree's
plans he sold the Delaware & Hud-
son to the Pennsylvania.

Washington, Oct. 1O.-(R-Her-
bert Hoover turned his attention to.
day to the situation in New York
state, calling into conference
Charles D. Hilles, national commit.
teeman, and Edmund Machold, state
chairman, for thoroughgoing sur
vey of conditions.
Aside from the drive for the as
electoral votes of the home state OF
his Democratic opponent, Alfred E.
Smith. the Republican presidential
candidate is evincing a lively inter-
est in the success Of the state ticket
as we'll as the party candidates for
the senate and house of represent
atives.
Arriving in New York at 8 o'clock
on the morning of October %, the
Republican standard bearer will cs-
tablish his headquarters at the
Waldorf-Astoria hotel, where he
will devote much of the day to con-
ferences with New York leaders as
well as those from Connecticut and
New Jersey.
Garden Speech Waits
The nominee has not vet turned

time on his Boston speech next Mon.
day night. In that he will discuss
both foreign trade and the tariff and
If the time remains he will also talk
about the development and mainten-
ance of an adequate merchant
marine.
While such leaders as Senator
Borah, have brought more encourar.
ing word about conditions in the
northwest than were reaching head
quarters only q comparatively short
time ago, it seems to be the opinion
among these leaders that much work
remains to be done in that section.
Northwest Talk Seen
This is one of the reasons why in
creasing demand is being made that
Hoover deliver a set speech in this
section while en- route to his home
at Stanford University to vote. But
almost equally insistent is the pres
sure for him to talk at st. Louis and
also to deliver one speech in Texas.
For the present, at least, the
swing seems to be toward the selec-
ton Of the northern route homeward
with an address at Minneapolis, the
next to the last the nominee will de-
liver before the voters 60 to the
polls to register their choice. The
last will be radio talk from Hoov-

Greets Roosevelt
Soon afterward he greeted Frank
lin d. Roosevelt, Democratic nom.
1nee for governor of New York,
whose headquarters are in the same
hotel, and talked over plans for the
, campaign in this state. Mr.. Roose-
welt, who placed Governor Smith in
nomination at Houston, probably will
be depended upon to campaign up
state for the national as we'll as the
state ticket, since the presidential
candidates present plans call for
only two speeches in New York-in
Brooklyn and New York City-the
Friday and Saturday nights before
election.
On his way down the Hudson the
presidential nominee took q few
shots at Herbert Hoover and Sen.
ator Curtis in connection with their
Muscle Shoals and tariff statements.
and indicated he might discuss the
tariff at Louisville.
f. Asked whether he had read Mr..
Hoover's statement that he fase,nA
continued government ownership 81
Muscle Shoals, the governor said he
had not, but sought further enli9ht-
eminent as to what was said about
who would operate the plant. He
was informed that this angle was
not touched upon.
Considered Leasing
"That seems to be the important
thing" the governor said. 1.-THE Re-
publican party in this state never
contemplated the sale of the st.
Lawrence river project, but did seri-
ously consider leasing it for SO years,
and only were prevented when the
people voted overwhelmingly against
such a thing"
His tariff comment came when he
was questioned regarding Senator
Curtis assertion in North Dakota
that the governor had endorsed the
Underwood law in his acceptance
speech, and the Republican vice
presidential candidates demand in
the same address for the resignation
of Raskob, who had stated that he
would quit his post if it was shown
that Governor Smith had taken such
q stand.
II don't think Raskob will do
that" the governor said. "When / /
speak Of the tariff ! will straighten
that out all right. Senator Curtis
didn't read my acceptance speech
correctly"
