DEEP-SEA FISHING
|SLUR|NG HOOVER.
President Elect Eager to
Start Sports Trip, With
All Tackle Ready.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG,

BELLE ISLE, MIAMI BEACH, Janu-
ary 23.-The only thing President-elect
Hoover is thinking about seriously to-
day, the first one of his pre-inaugural
vacations, is deep-sea fishing. He was
eager to go right at it without any
delay, but it is doubtful if this wish will
be gratified before tomorrow, or pos
sibly the next day.
He has seen to it, however, that his
fishing tackle has been unpacked and
put in a handy place, and he has
closely examined the two rods and
tackle presented to him by Maj. sewell
OF Miami upon his arrival yesterday
afternoon.
No engagements have been made for
today. Instructions have been given to
make ready for fishing expedition
10 start tomorrow and to last probably
over the week end, but this NAV be
postponed day in the event Dwight w.
Morrow, Ambassador to Mexico who is
reported on his way here from Nassau.
Bahamas, to pay call before taking
boat for New York, puts in an appear
ance. 1t was said in Mr.. Hoover's be-
half today that he knew nothing about
Mr.. Morrow's coming except what he
read in the local newspaper.
Speculation Is Expected.
InaSmuch as Ambassador Morrow
has been prominently mentioned in
connection with Mr.. Hoover's selection
OF Secretary of State, If he does come
70 Belle Isle for conference with the
PreSldent-elect at this time there
necessarily will be further speculation
in this connection.
Mr.. Hoover's response thus far since
leaving Washington to inquiries about
his cabinet making has been to the
effect that he is going to give no
thought ITO such serious matter for
the present. He has made it plain that
when he plays he is going to do it 100
per cent
Nevertheless, Mr.. Hoover could not
stay away long from the executive Of
fees established for him and his as
Slstants. He went to the Office before
noon and dictated few letters, then
inspected quarters being used by news
paper correspondents and telegraph op-
orators.
Work and Sullivan Breakfast Guests.
Mr.. Hoover appeared greatly refreshed
after good nights sleep and showed
no signs of fatigue as result of his
long train ride.
DR.. Hubert Work, chairman of the Re-
publican national committee, who is to
be at Miami Beach during Mr.. Hoover'S
stay, and Mark Sullivan, newspaper cor
respondent and personal friend of Mr..
hoover, and. Mrs. Sullivan were break
fast guests
Mr.. Hoover was deeply impressed by
the variety of flowers in bloom in the
beds about the grounds of the Penney
estate, and by the singing of the birds
IN befOre-breakfast stroll.
Stewart w. Cramer, textile manufac-
turer OF Charlotte, N. c., was invited to
be guest for luncheon. Mr.. Cramer
mas peen limited as cabinet possibility
IN the event Mr.. Hoover decides to honor
the South with representative in his
official family Those who have sug-
gested Mr.. Cramer in this connection
are understood to have had the Navy
portfolio in mind for him.
1t Is understood Mar Woods promi-
nent manufacturer and business man of
Nebraska and Chicago, who, as a gen.
tieman farmer. has devoted considera-
BILE study to the agricultural problems.
VIII be one OF Mr.. Hoover's callers to-
morrow.
HoOvers Pleased at Greeting.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover have expressed
| themselves since arriving here as being
deeply touched by the cordial manner
in which they were received upon their
arrival yesterday afternoon. The well
| come accorded them was most impress
sive and genuine. Their arrival and
ride through Miami and Miami Beach
on their way to their Belle Island home
| had all the appearances of a festival,
| as they were greeted with a shower of
roses as they stepped from their special
| train and frequently during the ride
of 712 miles flowers were thrown in
| their path.
j. G. Penny, whose home Mr.. and
Mrs. Hoover are using here, is In Eu-
rope, but in his absence his sister, Mrs.
Olga Autenreith and DR.. Burdette G..
Lewis. representing Mr.. Penney. were
on hand at the home to extend well
come when the President-elect and Mrs.
Hoover arrived.
