REMAINS POSSIBILITY
Postmaster General Brown Leads
State Delegation in Discussing
Details With President.

President Hoover will make his Sec
ond major campaign speech next Sat-
urdav night in the Cleveland Audi
torium, it was made known today at
the White House.
Full details for the trip remain to
be arranged However. Theodore JOS
lin, one of the Presidents secretaries,
indicated the Chief Executive probably
would return directly to the White
House from Cleveland, just as he did
after speaking in Des Moines last week.
He indicated also that the President
might make series of rear-platform
appearances both en- route to and re-
turning from Cleveland.
Joslin did not entirely close the door.
however, to the possibility that the
President might expand his swing into
Ohio and speak formally in other cities
beside Cleveland.
Subject Is Not Known.
He said he did not know the sub
ject of Mr. Hoover's address nor wheth-
er any specific organization would be
addressed by the Chief Executive.
Republican campaign managers said
some time ago that the President
would deliver two speeches in the West
or Midwest and one in the East as his
own personal part in the campaign.
1t was announced that the huge
Cleveland Municipal Auditorium there,
the scene of the 1924 Republican Ma
tional Convention, has been chosen as
the scene for Mr.. Hoovers address.
The auditorium to be used normally
holds 5000 people. but can be enlarged
to seat $500 more.
The auditorium is not unfamiliar to
Mr.. Hoover. 1t was there year ago
that he made an important address to
the American Bankers Association in
convention.
Postmaster General Brown, one of
the Presidents close political advisers,
in response to whose urgings Mr.. Hoover
is understood to have decided upon
Ohio for his second speech. accom-
panied a group of Republican Lead
ers from the Buckeye State to the
White House today for a conference
with the President Immediately fol-
lowing the announcement of the Cleve-
land invasion.
Tell Hoover OF Situation.
Besides discussing details of trip, they
apprised Mr.. Hoover of the political
situation in that State, which, accord
ing to reports being received at the
White House, has been anything but
favorable to the President. The Ohio
leaders reported that while there is a
stiff fight ahead there is no reason to
doubt the final outcome in November.
They indicated. however, the party
must enter upon a real offensive, and
they made it evident that Mr.. Hoover's
presence in the State, along with the
delivery of a fighting speech, such as
that in Des Moines last week, is needed
to start the swing in his favor.
1t was intimated also the Ohio group
discussed with the President the ad-
visibility OF continuing on swing
farther West Immediately after the
Cleveland speech. The group also Is
understood to have suggested points en-
route to Cleveland where the PreSi-
dents special train should stop in order
for the crowds to see him.
May Plan to Greet Crowds.
1t is thought that Mr.. Hoover will
arrange his schedule for the Cleveland
trip so as to leave Washington at an
hour that would land him in Cleveland
during the early part of Saturday aft
ernoon. This would give him the
greater part of the day to greet crowds
at the stations along the way.
While the White House has not re-
vealed the nature Of the address Presi-
dent Hoover will deliver, there is reason
to feel that discussion of the unem-
ployment situation and the plight of
the American farmer will occupy
prominent position
After his conference with the Presi-
dent, Postmaster General Brown told
newspapermen there has been a de-
cIded improvement in favor Of M.
Hoover In the Ohio situation, and h;
attributed this to the Presidents Des
Moines speech. He also said the peo-
pie are beginning to have better un-

campaign.
Brown admitted that in parts of Ohio

cause of the depression. the great num-
