HOOVER s
MARRIAGE:
EXPLAINED
Ceremony Performed by
Catholic Priest at Re-
quest of Bride.
MANY INQUIRIES

by United Press Leased Wire


WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover's atti-
tude on religion and flood control
was sought today as having possible
bearing on his candidacy for the
Republican presidential nomination.
Hoover was asked concerning
word from San Francisco that he,
a Quaker, was married to his Episco-
palian fiancee by a Catholic priest
at Monterey, Calf, 90 years ago.
Hoover said "that is true
He said that the marriage occur
red the day before he was to sail
for China on an engineering mis-
sion. The priest was the only man
available to perform the ceremony.
He had authority as have Catholic
army and navy chaplains, to marry
two non Catholics.
Such marriages take a civil status
rather than affiliate the nom
Catholics with the church, it was
said by Hoover and by Catholic
clergy here.
Friends of Hoover wondered why
the question was raised, unless with
view to minimizing religious op-
position to Governor Al Smith of
New York in case both Hoover and
Smith are nominated.
The flood control condition was
brought up by Senator Willis of
OL;o ~ o,,oupaoJ oopIidafa for
the Republican nomination. Willis
said an attempt would be made to
get Hoover view as to how Mis-
sissippi flood control should be fin
anced.
AS Willis is engaged in a struggle
with friends of Hoover for the Ohio
Republican delegation, some saw
the beginning of political fight
in the question.
SALINAS, Calf, Jan. 27.-An
attempt to inject religious issue
into the possible candidacy of Her.
bert Hoover for the presidency of
the United States was seen here to-
day.
John f. Wallace, county recorder,
of Monterey county, announced that
his office had been flooded with in
quiries from all sections of the
country concerning the marriage
ceremony of Hoover and Miss Lon
Henry in 1899 which was perform
ed by a Catholic priest.
Monsignor Ramon Mestres OF
Monterey, who married the Hoovers
at the home of the brides par

cause of worry over what he be-
lieves an attempt to make a nation
