DRY SPELL MAY CURTAIL
 PRESIDENTS VACATION
Hoover Sticks to Desk As Emergen- cy Measures Appear Pos-
 sibly Needed

Washington, Aug. 6 Gp - AS the time draws near when President Hoover hopes to leave for his vaca- tion in the Rocky Mountains, his plans still remain indefinite.
 Faced by unexpected and pro- longed difficulties in selecting the personnel of the tariff commission and with other problems still to be solved before he leaves, he has con- eistently declined to discuss plans even with his aides at the White House. Continuance of the drought, making necessary emergency meas ures by the government, also might work 10 alter the plans of the pres tdent, it was pointed out today.
 It was said at the White House, however, that so far as his inten- tons go the announcement that he expected 10 spend at least two weeks visiting Glacier and Yellowstone na- tional parks still stood. He may be compelled, it was added, to abandon all plans for an extensive vacation.
 In response to reports that the president had abandoned his pro- posed western trip he has received many invitations to spend a few weeks in New England.
