HOOVER GETTING
READY TO LEAVE
| FOR CALIFORNIA
COnfers With Leaders
On Final Stages Of
Campaign.
BY THOMAS l.. STOKES
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Herb-
crt Hoover cleared his desk today at
his Massachusetts Avenue headquar
ters and conferred with his campaign
strategists on the final phases of
the presidential battle ending a week
from today.
After he leaves here Thursday, the
Republican presidential icandihatc
will make four speeches on his way
west. He has completed his major
address which will be broadcast from
ST. Louis Friday night. He consult
ed with his advisers today regard
ing the three Others-a 10 minute
address at Cumberland, Md, and two
longer ones at Louisville, Kentucky,
and Pueblo, Colorado.
At Pueblo, the Republican candi-
date will speak over a radio hookup
TO all the mountain states.
Hoover will make the most i'm
portant speech of his campaign at
st Louis. 1t will represent final
appeal to the broad belt of farm
states to accept his proposals for
farm relief rather than the Nc Nary
Haugen bill solution offered by Gov
ernor Alfred f. Smith.
To Give Promise
Hoover at st. Louis will go into
the agricultural situation in more
detail than hitherto. He also will
discuss inland waterways and other
issues in a general way. He will
promise again to call an extra ses-
sion of congress to take up farm re-
lief legislation, if elected.
While the Republican candidate
went over final campaign plans at
his headquarters, Mrs. Hoover was
experimenting the necessary details
incident to moving the household
from here to California.
If elected, il is not known how
long Hoover will remain in the west
He may return here before Christ
mas, but it is not believed he will
spend a great deal of his time here
before March if he is chosen pres
ident. He might come here fo1
| short periods, setting up his head
| quarters elsewhere.
A newly elected president is be
seiged with visitors, including man,
office-seekers and Washington nat
urallv is q haven for many of this
type. Hoover, it is believed, viii
!! wish to seclude himself as much as
possible so as to map out his future
plans.
Hoover will ignore charges Gov
ernor Alfred f. Smith made in his
Baltimore speech that the X. X. X
and the Anti-Saloon League are
participating in the Republican
campaign, it was learned today.
Hoover has denounced injection OF
intolerance in the presidential cam
paign, it was pointed out at hi'
headquarters, and he feels he ha
made his position clear in this re
spect.
"We have denied and denied these
charges Henry j. Allen, forme
governor of Kansas and director o,
| publicity, commented, adding tina
! the Republican national committe,
would have nothing further to sa.
on this matter
Headquarters explained that an.
answer made probably would come
from Senator Borah of Idaho, for
mer Secretary of State Hughes anC
other campaign speakers who vii
make radio addresses in the next few
| days before the election.

ST. LOUIS, Get. 30.-A 19-ycar-

about North America since he was

adventure today far fromVhis home
here.
Clarence Terhunc had schcmcd
and executed an adventure that out
classes boyish fiction and was rid

North Atlantic a stowaway ON board
the Graf Zeppelin as the huge di-
rigiblc fought her way eastward to-
ward Germany.
Like all residents in vagabondia,
Clarence s residence has been tran
sient, his half sister Mrs. George NJ.
Hall told the United Press. The
lad had made his home with Mr..
and Mrs. Hall since his parents
were killed in murder-suicidc trag-
edy in st. Louis, last July II. His
father Charles Tcrhune, barber,
killed the mother, and then com
mitted suicide, according to police
records.
Five months ago, Charles Felt the
call of far places and drifted west
to the Pacific coast where he slowed
away on n government cruiser. He
swung off the vessel in Nome, Al.
aska. Among the soldiers and ad
Ncnturers who understood his fever
Charles found home at the coast
guard station in Nome for several
! months before his return. He drift
ed back to 81. Louis.
Told of Big Plan
Ten days passed. The Halls sat
down to dinner. Charles did not ap-
| pear and they were prepared fol
another chapter in his saga.
A card came from Rye, \. Y.
Charles wrote that he was caddying
Mrs. Hall said:
"The card did not mention his

smith BACK IN
NEW YORK FOR
CLOSING DRIVE
Democratic Candidate to
Be Busy Until End of
Campaign.
By PAUL +. MALLON
(Un;ted Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Gov. AL
fred f. Smith came back to his home
sidewalks today to carry on his final
intensive efforts for the presidency.
A week from tonight he will sit
III his hotel home here and receive
thc election returns. Until then he
will be in constant conferences with
the Democratic managers, taking
time out for three speeches, i'll New
ark Wednesday, Brooklyn Friday
and Madison Square Garden Satur-
DAY.
His ease before the jury is nearly
complete. He finished the last of the
evidence in Baltimore last night,
the last parade there yesterday af
ternoon. From now on it will be re-
buttal, not n summing UP, but real
Smith finish.
The last Of the evidence was a
charactcristically Smithian denun-
citation Of the Anti-Saloon League
and the ku klux Khan. He sought
TO link both Of the organizations ac-
tivities with the Republican cam
paign. He pointed to the league
statement repudiating Senator
George w. Norris, Nebraska Re-
publican, who came out last week
for Smith and who has always had
the support of even extreme drys.
He brought forth an advertisement
in Long Branch, New Jersey news
paper mentioning a Ku KluX Klan
rally which was to be held Gin con
Junction. with the Republican ma
tional committee. He declared news
papers had told about a publisher
Of the Catholic Fellowship
Forum travelling with the Republi-
can presidential nominee Herbert
Hoover on his Elizabethton trip. He
said Il fiery cross had been bdrned
along the railroad tracks as his spec
ial train pulled cut of Indiana a
week ago.
Promises Peace
Comparatively hidden in the
speech, behind these charges, was
the candidates first statement of
his foreign policy and declaration
against what he called the reaction
arism Of the Republican party on
the issues of farm relief, prohibition,
water power, and government reor-
ganiZation.
The statement of his foreign
policy was founded upon tine text
do unto others as YOU would ex-
pect them to do unto you. And it
promised peace between the White
House and the Senate, protection Of
the international rights of smaller
nations, particularly in Latin Ameri-
ca and South America and no en-
tangling alliances.
The nominee contemplated his
Pennsylvania and Maryland tour
from which he returned this morn
| ing with increased confidence of
I ultimate success. His Philadelphia
reception astounded him and his
Baltimore appearance, while not as
wildly received as some of his
friends expected, indicated to him
that he had many enthusiastic
friends there.
