HOOVER owns
MEXICO Land,
SPEAKER Says
Charge of Senator
From North Dakota
Denied BY National
G. o. p. Director

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-tP1-A
charge that Herbert Hoover lis
credited" with owning oil and min
ing properties in Colombia and Mex
leo has been vigorously made, ac-
companied by a sweeping denial.
The allegation was sponsored by
Henry Clay Hansbrough, once a re-
publican senator from North Dako-
Ia, now a supporter OF Governor AL
fred +. Smith. With il he coupled a
demand that Hoover withdraw from
the presidential campaign and per-
nit the selection of a republican
candidate "who cannot be influenced
in handling u foreign relations"
The denial came from Henry j. AL
len, director Of publicity for the re-
publican national committee. Late
yesterday after being shown an ad-
vance copy of a speech prepared by
Hansbrough for delivery last night
at Minneapolis, Allen sent a tele-
gram 10 the former senator assert
iRg that there was no foundation for
such statements and declaring that
they could "only be uttered for the
purpose of gaining votes by DELHI
crate lies"
Undeterred, Hansbrough said he
could not be brushed aside" by the
cry of liar" and went forward with
his address at Minneapolis.
Herbert Hoover, he said, "is cred
tied with being the owner OF 1,7s7,-
900 acres Of oil producing land IN
the republic of Colombia" and Of
"even larger concessions" in Mexico.
Hansbrough declared further that
he has positive evidence" Of the
truth Of his charges and that Hoo
yer. "the Mellon brothers, the Stan
dard Oil of Indiana, and the noto-
rious Albert 3. Fall kave joined and
severally invaded the republic Of Co.
lombia; that they have large con
cessions Of rich oil and gold mine
lands along the Magdalena river
there, or did have them. which in the
light Of the issues Of this campaign
amounts to the same sizing"
Hoover, Allen said in his tele-
gram OF denial, "has never owned an
acre Of oil concessions or had a dol
lar invested directly or indirectly in
any business of any kind in the re-
public Of Colombia, and he does not
own a dollars worth of stock or an
acre Of oil land or any other prop
erty in the republic of Mexico. The
delivery of this speech leads to the
inevitable conclusAn that you are
inaugurating the most malicious
campaign of libel and SANDER that
has characterized the history OF
presidential elections"
