HOOVER Will
NOT REPLY TO
SMITH BLASTS
Answers Will Be Left to
Other Important G. o. P.
Orators.
BY PAUL Il. MALLON,
limited Press Star Cnrresnnndent


WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Her-
bert Hoover intends to take no rec
ignition personally of the attacks
upon his campaign platform by
Governor Alfred E. Smith in his
western tour, the United Press was
informed today authoritatively.
Answers to Smith will be deliv-
cred by important Republican ora
tors and by Chairman Hubert Work
of the national committee.
Hoover, it was stated, will con-
tinue with the quiet plan of cam
paign he has already marked out for
himself, no matter what his oppo-
nent says.
This course of action was decided
upon by the inner council after
Smiths farm speech in Omaha,
which mentioned Hoover by name
and purported to quote from some
of Hoover'S speeches.
Hoover never has mentioned
Smiths name and has referred to
the Democratic party only in gen.
eral terms. His intention is known
to be to sell his policies to the vo-
tiers rather than shoot at his op-
ponents.
The Shooting" will be attended to
by the campaign managers.
A lull has set in around the can
didate's headquarters. His decen-
tralization policy has enabled State
organizations to function without
consulting him and the result is
shat he now has little to do.
