HOOVER VICTORY
Vare's Bolt Results in
Melons Endorsement of
Secretary.
By RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent


CONVENTION HALL, Kansas
City, Mo, June 12.-Secretary of
Commerce Herbert Hoover has won
the Republican presidential momina-
ton.
The break that made his nomina-
tion a certainty came today when
Pennsylvania decided to cast its
entire 70 votes for Hoover.
This insures him of the 543 votes
necessary to nominate.
With dramatic swiftness today
the forces dominating the conven-
ton set the machinery in motion
for Hoover exactly as predicted by
the United Press last night and
early today on the basis of private
conferences among leaders.
Just before the Pennsylvania
oapitulation to the Hoover drive,
Chairman William NJ. Butler, Of
the Republican national committee
and the confidant Of the president,
announced that President Coolidge
was neutral in the presidential
fight.
Coolidge Out
He declared for Hoover last night
as first announced by the United
4 Press. But he did not wish that to
! be construed as due to the influence
Of the silent man in the White
! House.
Senator Elect Ware of Pennsyl-
vania seconded MELONS, motion for
endorsement of Hoover.
At the time of the conference
in Philadelphia, - Mellon said, cit
was in doubt what President Cool
idge would do as to another nomina-
tion.
1T now appears he won't accept
the nomination.
1t therefore, appears that it is
wise to select a man who will best
carry forward the policies Of the
administration.
"As | said at the Philadelphia
meeting, it seems to me that Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover is the best
! fitted man in the country to carry
| forward those policies. therefore
urge that the delegation east its
votes for him for president on the
first ballot
- rise to heartily endorse the
statement Of my colleague, Andrew
] w. Mellon, - Ware, Philadelphia
| leader, said.
q am glad to see that the great
secretary Of the treasury gives his
endorsement to Secretary Hoover.

bert Hoover was the choice of the
leaders, and their followers were
swinging into the line to name him.
Rain drenched Kansas City III the
early morning hours but as the lines
of delegates and guests began the
march on to Convention hall in mid
forenoon, the rain ceased and 4
wave of humidity followed it.

the Republican National committee,

draft Coolidge movement yesterday
was early on hand i'll convention
