Both Young and johnson are
coming 10 inform the Rcpubli-
can presidential nominee they

These friends believe whole
hearted support from the John
son leaders Will eliminate what
ever chance Governor Alfred +.
Smith, Democratic nominee, had
of carrying this state which
gave the presidency to Wood
row Wilson, Democrat, in
1916.
Young's call was primarily
matter Of state, but its po-
litical significance was remark
ed by political observers in the
Hoover camp.
Young was to have headed n dele
CATION to meet the nominee for th'
reception when Hoove
crossed the state line but becaus,
Of the death Of Mrs. Hoover's faith
or. the official welcome was post
poned and Young sent the nominee
Il telegram instead.
The swing of Johnson and hi
leaders to Hoover was not uneXpeet
ed. They did not oppose him in th'
state primary. Some of them ha'
indicated however, they might no
desire active work for the HoOve
ticket.
Hoover Friends Pleased

Hoover s friends and a bindin!
peace pact is expected. No othe
visitor than Young will be received
hv Hoover until Monday. Thel
Johnson and numerous other stat
leaders will be consulted. The nomi

Hoover, too, appeared to be il
better health than when he lief
Washington. He planned, however
TO go up in the Redwood district o
Northern California to fish ther
for three days. There will be II,
telegraph lines or telephones within

communicate with him.
Seeks Rest
Newspaper men accompanying hi
party may use carrier pigeons t,
bring out dispatches to civili2a
tion for the first time in n presi
dental campaign and in one of tn
few times in journalistic history.
Hoover is planning the little trir
not because his health has been i'm
