HEARST CAUSE 0F POLITICAL SHOCK
His Stand for Hoover is Big
 Surprise

New York. Sept. 1 R,-A state- ment by William Randolph Hearst expressing the belief that the dem- ocrats will not be successful in the presidential campaign today caused g. stir in political circles.
 The publishers statement, which was cabled from Europe to the Brooklyn Eagle. was taken by re- publican leaders to mean that he would support Herbert, Hoover in the election, although the state- ment did not specifically pledge Mr. Hearst 10 that course.
 T do not think the democrats will be successful in this campaign on the prohibition issue which MT. Smith injected into the cam paign after he had received the nomination" Mir. Hearst says. He gives as his reasons that "the pro. hlbition issue in presidential cam paign is distinctly false issue" and ''the people of the United States do not want Tammany in control of the nation."
 Although Mir. Hearst expresses the belief that prohibition is proving a failure in the United States, he is of the opinion that the vast ma jor- ity of the people of this country have not yet lost faith. or at least

on behalf of disarmament at the last disarmament conference in Geneva and also her series of bila- terial treaties for outlawing war.
 He regretted the absence in the pact of any disarmament obliga- tions and protested against the "in- sufficient definiteness and clearn ass of the first clause" which permits arbitrary interpretation by the par tlclpants. He also cited the pact failed to mention informal wars the pact dealing with wars of ag- gression-which he interpreted as intervention, blockade by military occupation of foreign territory and foreign ports'
 On this latter score he cited previ- ous interventions in Russia and the present interventions in China.
 Iitvinoff especially attacked the br1tlsh reservation which deals with freedom of action towards cer- tain regions.
 If that reservation means por- tons of the British empire, then the reservation is superfuous. If it means elsewhere the participants of the pact are entitled to know where the freedom of action of the British government begins and ends"
 .He concluded by saying that this reservation the soviet government can not but consider an attempt to use the pact itself as an instrument or lmperialistic policy"

hope, \in prohibition as . temper ance measure.
 Senator Pat Harrison of Missis- sippi, member of the democratic national advisory committee. said he believed Mir. Hearst allowed his personal feelings to influence his judgment"
 "Of course MT. Hearst is not fond of Governor Smith since his political aspirati tions were clipped by the governor" Senator Harrison said. The governor refused to run on the same ticket with him when the pub fisher wa seeking the democratic nomination for the United States senate from New York in 1922. In the last mayoralty campaign the governor and Mrs. Hearst had sharp exchanges.
 Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire, vice chairman of the re- publican eastern advisory commit tee. said:
 We welcome MT. Hearst's sup port. It will help lot"
 Dr, Hubert c. Work, chairman of the republican national committee. when asked if his party's leaders would welcome Mir. Hearst into the fold said Why, we've always con- sidered Mir. Hearst in the fold"
 He apparently referred to MT. Hearst's statement issued shortly be- fore the republican national conven- ton last June in which the publish CT announced his support of Mir. Hoover for the nomination.

BASEBALL CLAIMS
 !. HOOVER flDR TODAY
f,k6 MI Bll1a Ret to S.e z s-. Y Ylnks Ply

Washington. Sept. 1 W1Herbert Hoover is ready to rest a while aft CT . week of grinding work at his general headquarters here.
 He inaugurates . program of rec seatton today by visiting Griffith stadium to see Babe Ruth and the other New York Yankees in q game against the Washington Senators.
 Tomorrow the republican presi- deatiai candidate will attend church and spend the remainder of the day Qwietly It home save for m auto mobile drive in the afternoon. He has no engagements for Labor Day. but probably will put in few hours at his office clAlnip.. up g weekend accssmulation of mall.
 About the middle of next week Hoover plans to leave on fishing trip of several days in Chesapeake Bay, angling for trout and other fish tht abouht off the mouth of the Potomac river. He will be accom- panied on this trip by only a few personal friends.
 4 real baseball fan, the republican Standard bearer frequently attended baseball games during hs seven years hero e commerce secretary and with his desk clear he avails himself of an opportunity to see one game In highly important series in the American league.
 While he will sit in a box in the main grandstand. he will munch peanuts along with most of the oth- CT fans, but he probably will show less partisanship than the thousands around him. Ills love of peanuts is second nly to his love of baseball. and he usually makes at least two calls on q vender during the regula- tion time of play.
 Hoover will find fishing from a boat on the following swells of the Chesapeke quite different from ang- ling in the whirling streams of his beloved California, but the experi- ence will be no new one to him as he frequently has tshed off the Po- tomac. He will use rod, but some of those who will accompany him will be less orthodox and will revert to the old hnd line style if they can find a corner behind the boat cabin sheltered from his gaze.
 Winding up the last day Of his first week in Washington since his western tour. the republican nomt- nee had a string of visitors yester- day, receiving reports on the pro- gress of organization work in the south nd giving final instructions to James w. Good, of Iowa, western campaign manager, to conduct an economical cmpaign in the corn belt.
 He also received an invitation from Mrs. Henry Breckenridge, of New York, to address the annual meeting of the Child Health associ- ation, of which he is president. at Chicago in October. He took the in- vitation under Adviseme..t.
 Other callers included Senator si- neon D. Fess of Ohio. who said con- ditions in his state were livery satis- factory: former Senator Joseph T. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey. and William J. Donovan. assistant Unit ed States attorney general, The nominees engagement list for this forenoon included Frederick M. Prince, banker and railroad man of Boston, and Senator Arthur F..

 followers, and the season around Labor Day should see these prepara- tions begin to bear definite results.
To Fight In East


 It goes without saying that what ever other decisions they may make. both Smith and Hoover will reserve . considerable part of their stumpA speaking for the east. No plan Of campaign has been brought forward in either party which does not con- template a hammering offensive along the northern Atlantic eea- board, where electoral votes grow thickest and where both parties pro- fess to see encouraging signs. The east will be stumped early and late by both democrats and republicans, and October is likely to see the most persuasive spell binders of them all concentrating there for the windup.
 It is upon this section more than any other that political attention has been centered during the pres ent week. Back in Washington, Mir. Hoover began a long series of dis

Talking in Millions


 Meantime the two party chairmen are talking in millions again, and nobody seems to object. Chairman Raskob's announcement that the democrats hoped to raise a cam paign fund of $4.000,0OO was fol- lowed by a republican decision to try to get along on $3,0OO,0Oo. If these figures come true. it will mean 8 big jump for the democrats over four years ago and a republican re- duction. The official figures for 1924 were: Republicans. $3.O6S, 952; democrats, $1,23O,2l4.
 Times and politics change. The report of Bryan's managers in 1900 showed fund of only $425,OOO, and some who will vote this year re. member when presidential nomi- nee rode the rails like any other passenger and swapped stories in the smoking car with his fellow travellers. Now he has a speical train. and even a vice presidential candidate rates private car.

Some Surprises

There were other disappoint- ments and happy surprises, too, for both sides. In the weeks grist of political news. Lamont DuPont of Delaware. whose brother and busi- ness associate recently bolted to Smith. announced he would vote for Hoover despite the republican nomi- nee's dryness. Henry H. Curran. once republican candidate for mayor of New York. and now head of the Association Against the Pro- hibition Amendment, came out for Smith.
 A less definite pronouncement by William Green. president of the American Federation of Labor. at tracted attention at every political council table. Speaking before the New York federation. Mir. Green praised Gov. Smiths labor record: recalled that the American Fedora tion was not itself taking sides: and then added that he felt sure labor- ing men would know how to vote for their friends. He left his hearers to draw their own conclusions. Be- fore it adjourned. the state federa- tion endorsed Smith.
