CUnited Press Stan CorrcspOndcnf.)
 Washington, April 1S.-(UP)-- The evolution of what may go down in diplomatic history as the Hoover doctrine" was seen by some observ-f CTS here to-day in the administra- tion's present Nicaraguan policy.
 This policy-only partly enunci-s ated in Secretary of State Stimson's formal statement yesterday-ap- peared to have two cardinal points:
 First, United States property in Nicaragua. bought by those who realized there was risk of internal disorders, is not necessarily entitled to military protection, although un-s der certain conditions it may be.
 Second, United States citizens in Nicaragua cannot expect military protection if they disregard warn irgs to seek safety.
 Observers, in pointing out how widely this doctrine differs from that followed during the Coolidge admin istration and earlier, cite President Coolidge's address before the United Press at New York. in April, 1927. He said:
