HUNCERFORD
 NEW HEAD OF
 AN.NAT|0NAL
Successor to Sir Henry Thornton Started from
 Apprenticeship

WINNIPEG, Aug. 12.-From ap- premiership to president of a bil- hon dollar organization. Such is the romantic role filled by S. J. Hungerford, newly named head of the Canadian National Railway. The story of the rise to success of Sir Henry Thornton's success sor is told by the tutor of the apprenticeship days, now slc- cessful Winnipeg business man.
 This old friend of MT. Hunger ford was a skilled mechanic in the South-Eastern and Canadian Pa cific shops at Farnham, Que, from 1885 tc 1894. It was in 1891, as he recalls, that Sam" Hungerford first entered a railroad shop as a green apprentice. He was paid eight cents an hour for a ten hour day-the princely stipend of $4.80 for 60-hour week.
 Books Best Trends
 "Sam's" best friends were his books. In his picket or his lunch pail he always had something to read" While others were playing at lunch time or in the evening he was studying. His machine ship friends soon saw that he was "go- ing some place" and had no time for play
 ThA friend had this to say of his one-time helper.
 If I were asked to state in a word MT. Hungerford's most out standing characteristic, I would say it is his tenacity of purpose. That was shown in his determina- tion tn succeed as a railroad man studying while others of us played and slept.
 Earns Goodwill
 "IIe has earned the goodwill of all who were associated with him, whether on the old South Eastern the Canadian Pacific or the Can adian National. We, his old-time friends, agree he is undoubtedly the best practical railroad man in the Dominion of Canada today"
 Fearing that some might see in his adtecdotes, desire to share in the glory of his boyhood friend, this former tutor of Sam" Hun gerford, apprentice, did not wish his name mentioned.

Clause in Agreement

Treasury and State Depart

to reports from Berlin that the
German government would seek
another postponement of army

mixed claims, September 80 and
similar amounts March 81, 1888.
The debt agreement provided
that payments might be post
poned on 90 days notice, although
the Secretary Of the Treasury
may waive this notice. Similar
agreements as applying to prin-

INDICATES
HOOVER GAIN
IN EAST
New York and New Jersey
Swung to Republicans
BY Latest Returns
By COLE z. MORGAN

The presidential race in the
East is becoming a "hoss
race" with President Hoover
nosing out in front at every
turn of the track. At least
that is the way it looks from
returns in the nation-w wide
presidential poll of The Wash
ingtOn Times and other Hearst
papers.
Starting with the six New
England States and New York in
his column at the outset of the
poll Hoover first lost New York
to Governor Roosevelt. Then he
cut into RooSevelt's lead in New
Jersey to where a week ago they
were running neck and neck.
Recaptures New York
With new returns this week
Hoover has recaptured New York
and in addition has swung New
Jersey At the same time he has
made inroa ds into Roosevelt's
lead in Pennsylvania. The next
report of ballots from the Key
stone State may show it in the
Hoover column.
The Importance of the East as
q campaign battle-ground, as le-
VealeG by the poll ballots, has
been accepted by the Republican
campaign management, which
this week determined to concen-
trate its major efforts in the East.
Should Hoover swing PennSyl
vania, it would give him every
thing from Maine to Ohio and
with the last returns from Michi,
gan and Indiana, good prospects
o. swinging those two States over
Hopes Lie in East
It is in the East, according to
a study of the poll figures, that
Hoover may look for the hulk
of the electoral votes to return
him to the White House if he
is to be reelected.
There is not the slightest evi-
dence anywhere in the South of
Hoover repeating mis- performance
Of four years ago by breaking
into that normally solid Demo
cratic bulwark. The showing that
Roosevelt has made in the West
