HOOVER GOES WEST SOON

titled of His Nomination For
President.

Washington, July 8 P-Republi-
can campaign plans are concentrat-
ing on the east and it appears like
ly that Herbert Hoover himself will
return to Washington in the fall to
be near headquarters here in the
final drive.
Another front porch campaign is
in the making although in the case
of Mr.. Hoover it seems a more ap-
propriate name for his prospective
battle would be a back yard cam
paign. The spacious residence OF
the secretary on R street here has a
very insignificant front porch but
the home has a commodious back
yard
The residence is Just a few houses
away from the place where Wood
row Wilson. the last democratic
president, spent his last days and
died. Mr.. Hoover has lived In this
place almost since coming to Wash
lington in 1921 as secretary OF COM
merce.
But before he decides on his plans
for the fall, Mr., Hoover must this
week arrange definitely for his de-
parture for Palo Alto Cal, where
he will be officially notified Of his
nomination early next month. An
early definite announcement was ex-
pected today calling for departure
late in the week or early next week.
East As Battle Ground
Henry ]. Allen, of Kansas, In
charge of republican publicity, is re-
sponsible for the statement that the
party leaders believe the east to be
the battle ground OF the campaign
with confidence on their part that
the west will stay republican.
An eastern advisory council has
been organized, with Senator Moses
of New Hampshire, at its head
which will dictate policies for the
drive in the Atlantic coast states.
There has been considerable spec,
ulation about the organization OF
eastern headquarters in New York
with Senator Moses in charge, SINH
lar to the set up arranged for Chi
cago, where James w. Good will as
sumo command as western campaign
manager, but the Saturday confer
ence Of party leaders decided to
continue Washington as eastern
headquarters temporarily. This
leaves Chairman Work Of the ma
tional committee and probably NJ
Hoover himself at the fountain head
Of the eastern campaign
However, Senator Moses has been
given power, according to the an
nouncement of Chairman Work, to
outline the policies and plans OF
procedure for the eastern drive. The
senator left Immediately after the
lengthy conference OF Saturday
which concluded at the home OF Mr..
Hoover. Plans for the contest in
the east are expected to await the
formal opening OF the campaign
when Mr.. Hoover delivers his ad-
dress of acceptance.
To Prepare Address
Preparation of that address along
with the duties of winding up his
work as secretary Of commerce will
occupy Mr.. Hoover this week. How
ever. he plans to 60 over also the
set up for the national campaign at
other conferences.
Senator Curtis of Kansas, the vice.
presidential nominee, arrived in
Washington last night after a short
vacation In Rhode Island 1t is ex-
pected that he will confer at length
with Mr.. Hoover before the latter
starts west.
