Declines to Discuss Oil or
Other Questions in
Talk With Press.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Herbert
Hoover expressed confidence today
of his election to the presidency as
he began round of conferences
with the New York state Republican
leaders.
'I have rot the slightest doubt Of
the outcome of this election If Re-
publicans will continue to work." he
said at a conference with news.
paper men.
OvercOnfidence Danger
"The only danger is oVerconfi-
dence," Hoover continued. We've
never seen greater unity in the Re-
publican party in a quarter Of q
century than there is at this mo-
ment. We have an able organiza-
ton and more zeal throughout the
country for the Republican cause
than in years"
When asked the reason for his
confidence, Hoover replied that it
was the activity of workers in the
Republican cause for Republican
issues.
The candidate declined to discuss
specific issues, but said that the
stability and prosperity of the coun-
try formed the principal issue of the
campaign.
Silent on Oil
Hoover was asked if he agreed
with Chairman Hubert Work of the
Republican national committee that
people we're tired" of the Oil leases.
I'm not going to enter into those
questions" he said.
Hoover's expression of confidence
today was the first public utterance
of that nature in his campaign.
After the press conference, he
received a number of his associates
in European relief work, expressing
pleasure at meeting them again.
He told them that to them not
him. was due the credit for success
of the relief activities.
Speaks Tonight
Hoover will bring his east
SAA4 CdIIlpdlSH 10 lJS Close mere UOday,
in a manner strange for presidential
candidates, but entirely characteris-
tic of him.
The front pages of New Ycrk'S
newspapers tell that he is here, but
very few will see him, outside of a
comparative handful of Republican
leaders, until he appears for his adj
dress tonight before 10000 persons
at Madison Square Garden.
Candidate Is Recluse
The Republican presidential cam
didate was almost a recluse, re-
naming within the Waldorf hotel
for series of conferences and visits
with delegation. He left his suite
on the third floor only for meals.
He was rushed to his hotel Sum
day night when he arrived here
from Washington at 9:3O, without
stopping for a demonstration by the
crowd which gathered in the Penn
sylvania station to see him.

JUST LIKE TRAIN TRIP
BY LOWELL NUssBAUM

Aviation has become such a part
OF the ordinary life Of Indianapolis
that Inauguration of daily passenger
service to Detroit, Chicago and
Louisville today excited little more
interest than the departure of the
steam trains for the same points.
Approximately forty persons in
cluding Mayor L. Ert Slack and
C.. L. Harrod, general manager of
the Chamber of Commerce. went to
Capitol Airport on Thirtieth street
west of Lafayette road to see the
first step in the daily air linking of
Indianapolis with her sister midwest
cities.
The three Ryan brougham mono
planes, similar to Lindbergh's, were
wheeled out of the hangers and
warmed up, somewhat like the
monsters of steam transportation
are brought into union station and
groomed a few minutes before de-
parture.
Passengers NOnchaIant
Passengers, who had stood about
and smoked and talked of politics,
airplaneS, football and other in
cidentals of modern life, as they do
when taking a train, nonchalantly
got aboard the planes, settled them
selves in the comfortable chairs of
the four-paSsenger air-carrierS,
pilots saw that doors were locked,
raced their engines and were off.
The crowd fingered to watch the
planes circle the field few minutes
and then go their several directions
almost indifferently.
Storm Blocks Plane
Like the rail service, which some
times gets messed up by weather,
the first days schedule of the Capt.
tai AirwayS, Inc, was curtailed by
storm area over Chicago. The
Chicago plane few about bit and
and then came home. Besides,
there we're no passengers for Chi
cago.
President Elmer H. Jose gave as
Surance, however, that weather per-
mitting, the service will settle down
within few days to the regularity
of the steam and electric roads.
Safety of passengers uopermoSt in
his mind, however. he declared,
that he will not send planes into
the teeth of a gale.
Two passengers each for Detroit
and Louisville departed at 8:55. On
the Detroit plane, piloted by Edward
M. Johnston. chief for the service,
was A. D. Heath of the A. D. Heath
Machinery Company, and a news
paper woman w. r. Allen Of L. s.
AyreS g. Co. boarded the Louisville
plane to go to West Baden, Ind. Jose
was the other Louisville plane pas
senger. Fred Lanter was at tie
controls.
Extension Planned
Heath paid a fare of $50 for his
ride to Detroit. 1t costs Allen $40
to get to West Baden. Fare to
Louisville is SIT and to Chicago $25.
The Detroit plane will make regular
stops at Ft. Wayne, the Chicago
plane at South Bend and the Louis
vile brougham at West Baden. The
planes arrive in Indianapolis early
in the afternoon on the return trips.
Passengers are allowed twenty
five pounds of baggage free and
extra weight at so cents a pound.
Jose plans to extended the service
to Cleveland, Cincinnati and st.
Louis soon.
