CONNECTICUT is SILENT
ON HOOVER CANDIDACY
Secretary's Announcement Fails to
Rock Party - Delegates
Seen Uninstructed.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
HARTFORD, Conn. February 1S.-
Secretary HooverS announcement OF
his candidacy in entering the Ohio pri-
maries has had no perceptible erect
upon the Republican situation III Con-
necticut There has been no eager
waiting here for a word from Secretary
Hoover. as Connecticut elects its dele
gates by convention and there is no
Hoover ticket to be filed for primaries,
Again, it is not expected that there
will be any diStinctively Hoover candi-
dates for delegates before the Conven-
ton. which WILL as usual choose rep
rcScntative Republicans 10 go to the ma
tional convention and let them use their
own Judgment following the custom OF
recent years.
II is. of course, true that one reason
why the Hoover announcement has
caused no thrill in Connecticut is the
fact that there is as yet no pronounced
Hoover sentiment III the State. The
Secretary of Commerce has more sup
porters than any other active candidate
but 1t is chiefly in the rank and file
of the party and is not likely to find en-
preston in the choice of delegates in
the State convention The truth is that
the leaders do not. as a rule. warm up
to the Hoover candidacy.
In Connecticut. as in New York. there
is still disposition to cling to the idea
that President Coolidge is not abSo-
lutelv out of the question. Apparently
the Republican delegates will go to
Kansas City free to vote for the Pres
ident. if opportunity offers. If they
do this they will not be misrepresent-
ing the sentiments of those who send
them. as Connecticut is Coolidge
State and Hoover. or whoever may get
the votes. will be its second choice

factor in solving many present day
religious problems. Rt. Rev. Thomas c.
Darst. Bishop of East Carolina. in an
address Friday to prominent laymen of
the Episcopal Church. assembled at
Washington Cathedral in a conference
sponsored by the College of Preachers,
declared that the present figures of the
number of people without religious con-
nections could serve as continual
challenge to men and women interested

Bishop Darst said that. although there
is cause for alarm In the fact that g.
100000 of the 100000 people in the

nections. there Is every reason to believe
that these figures can be altered by lay
leadership and lay evangelism.

gathering held by the College of
Preachers since its establishment three
years ago. Is being held in the memorial
wing of the Washington Cathedral
library. and consists of three sessions.
the last of which will be brought to a
close today.
Bishop Darst is leader of the confer
ence and is being assisted by the Ri
Rev Philip NJ. Rhinelander. former
Bishop of Pennsylvania and warden OF
the College of Preachers. and Capt
Frank B. Mountford of the Church
