SACRAMENTO, Calf, November g.
Coming into the capital of California,
President Hoover told a throng that
greeted him at the station today that
he had been the subject of increasing
Misrepresentation by the press of Will
liam Randolph Hearst"
Remarking at the outset "the election
is on today and most of you have
already made your conclusions" the
Chief Executive asserted the people Of
California had not been given a full
account Of the crisis through which the
Nation had passed.
The station crowd, standing in bright
early-morning sunlight, applauded the
President when he said the Nation was
again on the road to prosperity" He
said there had been a disagreement"
between himself and the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in that while he esti-
mated 100000 men had returned to
work in September, the federation
placed this figure at 100000. He smiled
as he made the remark.
Rolph Boards Train.
Gov. James Rolph, jr., and a party
Of friends boarded the Presidents spe-
cial train at Newcastle, Calf, an hour
earlier to continue on with him to San
Francisco.
A large detail of California State
motor cycle police waited at the New
castle station, as they had at an earlier
stop at Auburn. Railroad men said
the police detail was following the
course of the train by highway as q
protection to the President.
Railroad officials reported a bridge
guard just west of Palisade, New, was
shot in the little finger and his coat
slashed last night shortly before the
arrival there Of the Hoover train.
Officials and Secret Service men re-
ported, however, that after an all-night
investigation they could find no trace
OF the guards assailants and that there
was no evidence Of any attempt to
wreck the train.
Nevertheless, the pilot engine which
precedes the Presidents train was
halted and the train itself was stopped
while an investigation was made.
After being taken for a ride through
the Sacramento business district, the
President returned to his train, which
left for Oakland at 9:02 am.
The Chief Executive brought his
11,000-mile presidential campaign drive
to climax last night with a plea that
voters not be led astray by false gods
arrayed in the rainbow colors Of
promises" His words were broadcast
Nationwide from the parlor car of his
train at a stop in the mountain
bordered Nevada Valley town of Elko.

line about daylight the President will
run into series of receptions. There

Dividing his time yesterday between
rear platform speeches and longer ad-
dresses and the preparation OF these
statements, the Chief executive, ap-
parently tired, showed a flash of temper
during his last appearance of the night
at Carlin, New.

bundled in heavy coats against the chill
mountain air. ne explained that he had
been speaking many times day our

If the man who made that remark
will step forward I will tend to him."
