OHIO BY THOMPSON
State to Support Secretary
After Prediction Battle,
He Says.

Ohio will throw her votes to Hoover
after a stiff prediction battle, 1t was
declared today by Carmi Thompson,
Ohio Republican leader, following a
call on the Republican presidential
nominee at the Department of COM
merce.
Prohibition and the tariff will be
strong points in the Republican cam
paign in Ohio, the Cleveland banker
and former Philippine commissioner
predicted. Ohio. he said, has prospered
under the Coolidge administration and
there is no inclination to try any
changes from those policies. since
Hoover has announced he win carry on
these policies, he holds the balance of
favor among Ohio voters. 1t was ex-
planned.
Thompson offered Secretary Hoover
his services in the coming campaign. He
said he liked nothing so much as q good
campaign fight and announced his will
ingneSs to buckle down and take an
active part in the fray on behalf of the
Republican ticket.
Ready to Take Stump.
THOMPSON indicated that he has not
yet been assigned any definite role in
the prediction drive, but said he
stands ready to take the stump or TO
serve In other ways, If requested.
Samuel G. Prescott and Edward f.
Colladay, national committeeman for
the District of Columbia, called on Sec
retary Hoover today to offer him their
fluctuations and TO pledge to him the
support Of local Republicans.

cluded William S. Culbertson, new Am
bassador to Chile: c. BaScom Slemp,
Virginia national committeeman; SAM

Blythe at the Department OF Commerce,

Dodge Newspaper Men.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover and their older
son, Herbert, jr., gave the slip yesterday
to newspaper men who had expected
them to attend church at the Friends
Meeting House on street, and went, in
stead, to the Friends Orthodox Church
at Thirteenth and Irving streets
This church is part of the same group
of Friends as that which enigrated from
Iowa to Oregon In pioneer days, and
with which the Hoover family OF West
Branch. Iowa, was affiliated. Young
Herbert Hoover. then an orphan adopted
by his uncle, went with the Quakers on
the long journey to the Northwest.
George Hoover, first cousin Of the
Secretary, Is a frequent worshiper at the
orthodox church, and Miss Eva Niche
ner. who came here from West Branch.
Hoover's birthplace, also attends the
church. Her family is well acquainted
with the Iowa Hoovers.
The orthodox branch Of the Friends
Church differs from the street church
in that there Is regular pastor. There
are the Quaker periods of silence, but
music is interpolated. In the temporary
absence of the pastor yesterday. Lindley
ID. Clark, a resident Quaker minister,
who also Is deputy compensation COM
missioner with the United states
Employees Compensation Commission,
preached the sermon.

Two weeks of more or less persistent
effort have convinced at least one i'm
partial investigator that it is practically
impossible to crash" any of the 20 or
so large gambling establishments in
Washington.
This doesn't mean that stranger
can't get In. Far from it. All it means
is that before anybody can pass any
of those sacred and well guarded portals
he must be vouched for by somebody
who Is known.
Proprietors Take No Chances.
This Is quite logical. Nowadays. when
even law enforcement has ceased to be
matter of mere Drawn, you never can
tell who might be policeman. And
gambling in this city has received so
much public attention lately that the
proprietors of these places can't afford
to take any chances of letting q re-
porter in. Reporters are likely to be
indiscreet.
But being vouched for doesn't mean
that you must be close friend of the
man who voucheS for you. 1t is a
much looser system than that. It was
