declared. Il am afraid. If you don't

Martin shook his head.
1T would be all wrong" he protested.
Apart from my own colossal folly, Lau-

His tone was cordial. his gesture of

to him that he was back again on the

as he pushed open the heavy doors of

Conflict in Interpretation
May Force Nominee to
Elaborate Views.
BY RAY TUCKER

SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 17.-Her-
bert Hoover may be forced to
elaborate his prohibition views be-
cause of conflicting interpretations
placed on his acceptance speech
statements by many Of his close as
sociates.
He had hoped that his remarks in
Stanford stadium would be taken as
final on this controversial subject,
but rumblingS of disagreement as
to his meaning both in the East
and West seem to neceSsitate more
detailed discussion.
Stressing his demand for enforce
ment and no repeal of the Eight
zenith Amendment, drys have eX-
pressed satisfaction with his stand
Vets See New Hope
Tendency of the vets to empha-
size Hoover's suggestion of an in
vestigation to correct ABUSES" and
his well-known habit of guiding
himself by fact rather than fancy,
has given concern to certain dry
spokesman.
They do not criticise Hoover, hav-
ing implicit faith in him, so much
as his apparent willingness to per-
NIT a wet Interpretation Of his re-
marks.
Both elements are, as things stand
now, engaged in a tug-of-war over
the Republican nominees statement
on the dry question. Hoover is
known to be fearful lest this stu
alton give the impression ne is fac
ing both ways on the subject.
Therefore it is probable he will
clear up all misapprehensions be-
fore the actual campaign is under
way.
Wants Plain Understanding
Hoover believes that he made his
position perfectly clear. His words,
as he promised they would be in
another part of his speech, were Of
kind ITO convey meaning rather
than hide it" in his opinion.
But he realizes that in practical
and psychological politics it is not
so much the realities as peoples
impressions which sway votes. So
he is determined there shall be no
misunderstanding Of where he
stands.
