HOOVER UNDECIDED
ON SPECIAL SESSION
MCMuIIen's Report of Farm
Aid Plan Denied Here.
Attitude Unknown.

Herbert Hoover will amplify his views
on farm relief in his st. Louis speech a
week from today. but whether he will
approve the suggestion for a special ses-
sion of Congress to deal with the problem
remained a matter of conjecture today.
Up to the present the Republican
nominee has reached no decision on the
proposal to call an extraordinary farm
relief session at the Capitol, in the event
of his election, despite statements to the
contrary by Gov. Adam McNIullen of
Nebraska.
Gov. McMullen declared yesterday
afternoon that he had conferred here
recently with Hoover, and that the
nominee said he favored special ses-
sion of Congress for consideration of
problems of agriculture.
,... Decision Is Denied.
A statement issued subsequently at
Hoover's headquarters denied that a de-
cision had been reached. No expression
of Hoovers attitude toward the proposal
was given.
Hoover will discuss farm relief and
| its relations to inland waterways at
| the Coliseum in st. Louis the evening
of November 2 en- route to his Cali
| fornia home to vote. He will leave
next Thursday, stopping briefly at Cum
| berland, Md, and Louisville, KY, for
| informal talks. At Cumberland he will
be escorted from the train to the town
| square, where he will respond to the
| greeting of the Marylanders. He will
| leave the train also at Louisville and
drive to the Jefferson County court
| house for a brief speech.
Two Republican leaders, Senator
Smoot of Utah and Representative Will
r. Wood of Indiana, issued statements
| yesterday attacking Gov. Smiths claim
of using Language to make clear his
meaning" in the Boston address and
in preceding campaign utterances.
Charges Smith with Straddling.
Senator Smoot, chairman of the Sen
| ate finance committee, declared that
from his acceptance speech down
| through the long series of speeches he
| has made on the stump, Gov. Smith has
managed to straddle every important is
sue, speaking one way in the East, and
/ another way in the West, one way In
| the North and another in the South.
"The result has been confusing, and
| the American people today do not know
| and can not figure out where he stands
on the tariff, on immigration, on farm
relief and the equalization fee, or on the
other outstanding issues,'' the Senator
said. "No man even ran for President
for the United States whose speeches SO
demonstrated his unfitness for the posi-
ton, as have the speeches of Gov.
Smith, Senator Smoot declared.
Representative Wood, chairman of
the Republican national congressional
committee, reviewed Gov Smiths cam
paign utterances and said:
And now in his latest utterance he
attacks straw man; he misrepresents
his opponents position on water pow
er sites, while still failing to disclose
how far he would go in public own
ersfip and operation of hydroelectric
Iplants and other industries.
THE old shell game at the county
fair is recalled; the question is to de-
termine which shell the pea is under.

LOUDOUN COUNTY
NOW IS UNCERTAIN
Smiths Chances Best, but
BaCkers Have Had to Work
for Margin.

OF articles on the political situation
In nearby Maryland and Virginia.

LEESBURG, Va, October 26.-For the
first time in many years, probably since
the Civil War, the Democrats of Lou
doun County, Va, are finding it neces-
sary to conduct an organized campaign
in behalf of Democratic nominee for
the presidency.
Regular Democratic leaders of this
county told The Star correspondent
that two months ago, soon after the
nomination of Gov. Smith, it looked as
If majority of the voters of the colin-
ty would cast their ballots against
Smith. Today they believe they have
saved Loudon for the Democratic
party" by the unprecedented campaign
work they have done in recent weeks,
and work which they are still keeping
up, lest they lose the advantage they
appear to have gained
Smith Margin Drops.
To detached observer who has inter-
viewed official representatives of the
regular Democratic organization, the
anti-Smith Democratic organization, the
Republican organization and many of
the rank and file of all parties and fac
tions, it looks as If Loudoun County
would give Smith a majority November
6 which may be anywhere between 300
and 800, and probably will be nearer the
smaller number.
"Tllis is the first time," said a pro-
Smith Democrat, that we have had to
open Democratic campaign headquarters
in this county"
Now, with the political battle waxing
hotter every day, the following organiza-
tions are at work: The Loudoun County
Democratic Committee, special COM
mittee, organized under the auspices OF
the former, especially for this campaign
and known as a campaign committee:
the Anti-Smith Democratic Club OF
Loudoun County and the Loudoun
County Republican Committee.
Anti-Smith Group Busy.
Curiously enough, it is the Anti-Smith
Democratic Club that is doing the most
work against Smith and in favor OF
Hoover The old-line Republican Or
ganization, which has always been very
weak in this county, is holding meetings
and arranging for speakers of national
repute, such as Secretary of Agriculture
Jardine, to speak in the county In Hoo
ver's behalf.
But the house-to-house campaign
work in behalf of Hoover is being done
by the anti-Smith Democrats. Be

Talking Pictures
Win Faint Praise
Of British Critics

newspaper reviewers either damned
it with faint praise or scored 1t un-

The general verdict, however, was
