SERIES OF HOOVER

 Mountain on Itinerary

Washington, Sept. 30 UP) - President Hoover will present the problems and hopes of his adminis- tration to the American people this and next week in the first series of speeches he has made since his mid western tour nearly a year ago.
 While the topics Mr. Hoover will discuss are known only to a few, it was said yesterday by a close asso- ciate that prohibition would not be among them. The addresses will be at Cleveland. Oct. ?: Boston, Oct. 6; and Kings Mountain, N. C., Oct. C
 MT. Hoover has remained silent since the action of the New York state republicans in adopting q wet stand. He has not answered claims of vets that the republican party is receding from the dry position as- stunned in the presidential race of 1928. His associates say he will con- tinue' this silence. =
 Leaders Concerned
 Despite the presidents attitudSs other republican leaders are show ing some concern over the New York situation as they look forward to the next presidential contest. The states 45 electoral votes are regard ed as highly important factor in any candidates success. MT. Hoover had them in 1928 as a dry. Politi- clans are wondering if a dry candi- date can get them with wet state organization.
 On the present trip, however, MT. Hoover will make no bid for New York state support.
 The president is expected to deal extensively, and in an optimistic note, with economic problems. His appearance before the American Federation of Labor in Boston will give him an excellent opportunity to outline what the administration has done or hopes to do for labor. The farmer and the business worker. likewise, may get their own particu- lar message.
 MT. Hoover will leave tte capital Wednesday, stopping in Philad+- phia en route to Cleveland to see the opening world series game: He will address the American Bankers As sociation Thursday night and re- turn to the White House Friday Sunday night he will entrain for Boston, speaking Monday before the American Legion and the A.

HARTFORD H0LDUP
 SUSPECT QUlzzED
Two Men Questioned Here ES-
 tabliSh Their Innocence

Two young men, visitors to New Britain, who engaged a room at the Hotel Beloin on Saturday, had an experience with the New Britain po- lice they probably will not forget Fortunately they did the unexpected thing, and were later absolved Of any suspicion of being implicated in any wrong doing.
 The drama started late Sunday evening when the Hartford police reported on the teletype machine that two young men had tried 10 force an entrance into a gas filling station, were seen by a police officer, and one of them had given battle with the officer and taken his re- volver away from him. The descrip- ton given by the Hartford police as the car in which the two in Hart ford had ridden up to the gas sta ton, were registered at the Hotci Beloin, and Sergeant John Stadler and two officers took advantageous positions within the hotel, ready to pounce upon their quarry. . Under ordeUto shoot at the first move the men might make to draw q gun, the three officers waited with guns handy. The clock in the hotel struck midnight, then 1 o'clock and then o'clock before the men ar- rived.
 The Hartford police were guard ing the deserted car in Hartford, and it vas believed that the two men, if they were the ones register ed in the Beloin, might walk 10 New Britain. Therefore, if they ar rived on foot, they were to be taken at once and brought to the police station.
 When the two young men finally arrived, they were riding in the car in which they rode away from the hotel early in the evening. They had been out with two young wom- en, and after proving that they were honest young men, and did not an- swcr to the descriptions of the two men in Hartford they were left un- nfolested
