Secretary Has Lost Con-
seriousness and Death Now
Expected MomentariIy.
WIFE AND THREE SONS
IN ROOM CLOSE BY
President Hoover Denied Second
Visit, but Is Kept in Touch
by Physicians.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Word from the bedside of Secretary
Good at noon today was that recovery
was impossible and his death was ex-
pected momentarily. He had lost con-
Sciousness.
Physicians, encouraged so long by
their patients general vitality, today
had virtually given up all hope, and in
last desperate effort to prolong the
stricken cabinet officers life oxygen
was administered.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Good and their two
sons waited in a room close by. The
elder of the boys, James, jr., arrived in
Washington Saturday night from
Evanston. ILL.,, where he is student at
Northwestern University So serious
has been his fathers condition that he
has been unable to recognize him.
President Hoover yesterday was de.
MED q second visit to the bedside of his
cabinet advisor. After returning from
church, the Chief Executive asked If
he could see Mr.. Good, but was told
by the attendant physicians that in
visit would be inadvisable.
President In Close Touch.
Mr.. Hoover kept in close touch with
the sickroom. Any change was COM
munlcated to him at once through his
secretaries, and it was not until late
last night that the President retired,
after waiting long for some hopeful
sign.
The Chief Executives own personal
physician, Lieut.. Condr. Joel T. Boone,
has been inceSSant In his attendance
upon the Secretary. A close friend Of
Mr.. Good himself, DR.. Boone was given
instructions by Mr.. Hoover to place
himself entirely at the cabinet of1cer's
disposal.
Mr.. Good has also had the constant
attendance of one of his brother cab
met memberS-Secretary Wilbur OF the
Interior Department, who is himself an
eminent physician. In addition Col.
William I. Keller, noted Army surgeon,
who performed the operation, and staff
physicians of Walter Reed Hospital
have been always at hand.
Stricken Tuesday Night.
Secretary Good was stricken Tuesday
night and was rushed to the hospital
by Secretary Wilbur and DR.. Boone.
After consultation, an operation for
gangrenous. perforating appendicitis
was ordered for the following morning.
Unexpected and serious obstacles were
encountered in the course Of the oper-
alton. The appendix was in a much
lower position than is usual and ex-
ciSion was extremely difficult. The
patient was under the ether for nearly
an hour.
The physicians have marveled at the
tremendous vitality of the War Secre-
tary and the sturdy fight he has made
against a general sepsis which set in
after the operation. This gave them
much encouragement during the hours
that they have battled to save his life,
made their way, until hope had to be
abandoned.

STOCKS ARE LOWER
IN PROFIT TAKING
Market Drifts Downward
After Irregular Opening.
Early Gains Lost.
By the Associated Fress.


NEW YORK, November IA steady
stream of selling orders poured into the
New York Stock Exchange today and
prices generally drifted lower, declines
ranging from 81 to nearly $16 share.
The announcement of the failure of a
New York Stock Exchange house, made
just five minutes before the market
closed, failed to bring out any unusual
volume of liquidation, although a few
high-priced specialties broke sharply
on the offerings OF floor traders.
The market opened irregular, with
trading quiet, but many of the early
gains Of 81 to SO share were cut down,
or wiped out, and BY the time the half
way mark Of the three-hour session
was reached a long list of issues were
selling 81 to 81 share lower.
Initial gains and losses were held
within range of IS a share. Trading
failed to maintain the pace set last
week, although several blocks of 5000
to 10000 shares changed hands. Sales
during the first half hour were 749,20O
shares, considerable reduction in vol
ume.

NEW BLOC TO PLAN
CAMPAIGN TONIGHT
"Hoover Regulars" Activi-
ties In Tariff Fight Keep
Old Guard WatChfuI.

By the Associated Press.
The Senates newest faction, the
Hoover regulars" who have dedicated
themselves to keeping the Senate at
work on the tariff bill, even in oppo-
sition to the wishes of the duly con-
stituted party leaders, will meet tonight
to lay out for the first time con-
certed plan of campaign.
Dining together between the after
noon and evening sessions OF the Sen
ate, this group, composed primarily of
the younger-in point of service-Re-
publican members, will discuss ways
and means Of keeping the Senate in ses-
sion and the tariff measure before 1t,
In an effort to reach final vote on the
bill before the close Of the special
session.
The young Guard" as 1t has come
to be called, disclaims any revolt
against the "Old Guard" chieftains, IN
spite Of the fact that it went counter
to Senator Jones of Washington, the
acting Republican leader, last week in
voting against a proposed adjournment
on November %.
Guard Called Hoover Bloc
1t does claim, however, a close rela-
tionship with President Hoover and a
determination to carry out the policies
of the Chief Executive.
Senator Allen of Kansas described
the new faction, with which he is identi-
fed, as "a group of fellows helping the
Republican party by getting the tariff
bill IN the best shape. possible" and
said the meeting was for the purpose
of passing a tariff bill within a rea-
sonable time" Another Senator who
has allied himself with the young
guard" Robinson of Indiana, charac-
terized it a real Hoover bloc"
The rise Of the Hoover regulars"
leaves the Senate'S Republican majority
divided three ways: There is the reg
leadership Td % % of Senator Tup watson HSer 'of of
Indiana, now resting in the South; the
independent faction, led by Borah of
Idaho and Norris of Nebraska, and the
new faction, apparently led by Vanden-
burg Of Michigan, and Allen, an init
mate friend Of the President.
Activities Are Watched.
But in spite of disclaimers of any in
tention of overthrowing the nominal
Republican leadership, the "old guard"
Senators are watching the activities of
the 'voung guard" vigilantly and with
degree of wonder as to just how far
it will go.
One member of the new faction has
already made a thrust at an "old
guard" leader-Moses of New Hamp-
shire, President pro Tenn Of the Senate
and chairman of the Republican SEN
atorial campaign committee. Metcalf
of Rhode Island. who comes up for
reelection next year. has asked Moses
to call the campaign committee to-
gether for the adoption of a resolution
preventing the committee from taking
any part in the Rhode Island campaign
without the approval of the Republican
candidate for the Senate.
Metcalf explained that his request
was prompted by a realization that
"it Is so easy for an outsider to come
into State and make mistakes which
would be very damaging to the elec-
! ton of the candidate"
