TO BE OUTLINED
BY PRESIDENT
National Reorganization to
Be Considered by Hoover
at Weekend Camp.
BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN
United Press Stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Plans
for recognizing the Republican ma
tional committee at its meeting here
early next month are to be can
vassed informally by President Her
bert Hoover this weekend in his
Rapidan fishing camp in the Blue
Ridge mountains.
Representative Franklin Fort of
New Jersey, secretary of the Repub-
lican national committee, will be
one of ten guests in the presidential
retreat.
Fort recently has completed a SER
les of conferences with party leaders
throughout the east and is prepared
to report to the chief executive on
the prospedcts for the preliminary
organization work which must get
under way this fall in preparation
for next years congressional cam
paign.
Huston to Be Topic
Fort, among others, has brought
the President his first consensus of
party opinion on the Presidents
selection of CIaudius H. Huston of
Tennessee for the national chair
manship.
Although this selection never has
been confirmed by White House Off
Gals, party leaders are convinced
that Huston's selection merely is
matter Of balloting by the national
committee.
Two influential Hoover Heutenants
have carried word to the White
House this week that Huston's cleo
ton would be well received by the
party leaders everywhere.
The White House party planned
to leave for the Virginia camp In
mid-afternoon, to be at the noun
tain top lodge for dinner.
Envoy to Be Guest
William P. MacCracken, assist
ant secretary of commerce, who
has just returned from a sixty
day inspection of European avia-
ton establishment, and Henry P.
Fletcher, United States ambassa-
dor to Italy, also will be the Presi-
dents guests. Other members OF
the party will be Ernest L. Jahncke
assistant secretary of the navy;
Captain Allan Buchanan, the
White House naval aid; James Lo-
gan, New York; Mrs. Buchanan
and Mrs. McCracken; George Ak
erson and Lawrence Richey,
White House secretaries; and Lieu
tenant Commander Joel T. Boone,
the Presidents physician.
Mrs. Hoover, who has been in
camp for two weeks with her
younger son Allan, probably will
return with the party Monday
morning.
The usual weekend program will
be interrupted Saturday morning
by motor trip to Madison, Va,
ten miles down the mountain,
where Virginians we're gathering TO
extend the formal welcome of the
old dominion and to thank the
President for having selected the
state for "the summer White
House"
