BUSY ON TRIP

Visit to Many New
Jersey Towns
By JAMES L. WEST
ASSOCIATED Press Staff writerl

tAhtNCfHtEu HfCHH OtAAt WAhtEft
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-tF9-
Herbert Hoover has approved a
program of whirlwind campaigning
for his two-day visit in New Jersey
next week.
Arriving Monday afternoon at
Newark, where that night he will
deliver the third prepared speech Of
his campaign for the presidency,
the republican candidate will make
a motor trip through Orange, East
Orange, South Orange and a half
dozen smaller towns in the vicinity.
Tuesday morning he will motor
deep into Hudson county, a demo-
cratic stronghold, visiting an avia-
ton field and Jersey City, Hobok-
en-, Weehawken and q number Of
smaller places before returning 20
Newark in the early afternoon for
Edge will give for the republican
state county and city leaders.
Just how many. If any, extempor-
aneous speeches the candidate will
be called upon to make is uncertain,
but no doubt he will address the
party workers Of the state at the
luncheon and also may nave a word
or two to say in some of the cities
and towns.
The republican standard bearer
finished his address last night and
sent It to the printer. With this
speech off his mind after more than
a week Of intermittent labor on IT,.
the nomine can claim to few days
for rest and recreation and hopes
TO be able TO spend them fishing on
lower Chesapeake bay.
The candidates decision 20 visit
more than a score Of places in the
vicinity Of Newark came as some
thing Of a surprise to some of his
advisors who had expected him to
make a flying trip to New Jersey
arriving late Monday and returning
early Tuesday.
Returning TO Washington. Hoover
will remain here until early October
when he will 20 south 70 speak at
Elizabethton. Tenr. Later he will
visit New York and Boston and
then start for his California home.
