Herbert Hoover was ready today for
his final stroke in the East as he faced
New York for an invasion of the home
town of his Democratic opponent, Gov.
Alfred E. Smith.
This trip of the Republican presiden-
tial candidate will differ in several re-
spects from the three previous ones ne
has made since his return from Cali
fornia. The street parades and various
professions that have added a colorful
sight to the whirlwind campaign swings
in Newark, Elizabethton and Boston will
be absent from his visit to Manhattan.
Instead, Hoover will give his time
while there to conferences with various
New York Republican leaders, in which
he will go over with them reports of
the progress of the campaign in that
State and plans for the final drive for
the Empire States electoral vote. His
speech at Madison Square Garden, the
namesake of the arena where four years
ago the Democrats fought their bitter
convention battle, tomorrow night will
end his activities in New York.
Leaves This Afternoon.
The nominee, accompanied by Mrs.
Hoover, their son, Allan. several men,
bers of his personal staff and a group
of newspaper correspondents, will leave
Washington this afternoon at 4;30
o'clock and arrive in New York five
hours later.
He will go direct to the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel, where he will spend the
night and have breakfast tomorrow
morning with a group of Republican
leaders headed by H. Edmund MacHold,
New York State chairman. and Charles
D. Hilles, the national committeeman
for that State.
This will initiate the series of con-
ferences that will keep him close to
his quarters throughout the day. At
this first gathering, he will be given the
latest information on the situation in
that State. During the remainder of
the morning, the candidate will be en-
gagged in receiving various groups of
foreign thorn voters with press con-
ference set for 10 o'clock.
AS at Boston, the groups of foreign
born voters will come separately, the
leaders of the different delegations hav-
ing expressed desire that they might
have a chance to assure him of the
support Of their followers and to thank
him for his aid to their countrymen
during the World War and the period
Immediately afterward.
Receptions to End at S.
At luncheon at 1 O'Clock the coun-
ty Chairmen and vice chairman and
many workers in the State campaign
will meet him to bring their assurance
that the New York State Democrats
may expect a hard battle during the
remainder of the campaign.
Various independent organizations
working for the election of the Repub-
lican ticket will send their representa-
tives to call upon the nominee during
the afternoon. Among them will be
the Hoover Theatrical League
and a delegation from the New York
Republican Service League.
These receptions will end at o'clock
IN order that he may rest and dine be-
fore going to Madison Square Garden
to deliver his speech. There the can
didate will be preceded by Vice Presi-
dent Dawes, who will make his only
address of the campaign. Elihu Root
a former Senator and cabinet officer
will preside over the meeting
Although the address Mr.. Hoover will
deliver virtually has been completed,
the subject has not yet been made pub

time yesterday at his home putting
final touches upon the speech, and al
though he visited his headquarters on
Massachusetts avenue, he received no
visitors there
