was the Pennsylvania delegation in cau-

in the convention stood in very large
extent by Curtis and he was nominated
with $685. votes. A majority weS 518.
After the roll call had been announced
the Curtis nomination was made
unanimous.
As the wetness of the Republican
plank on prohibition sinks deeper into
the consciousness Of the voters. the

Old-timers attending the convention
session yesterday had shock when
they heard the result Of the secretary

the presidential nomination. He said

getting back quite a distance. The
votes really were cast for Senator Blaine
OF Wisconsin. and came from the in
surgent group in the delegation.
Smell Makes Mistake.
A slip Of the tongue was made also
by Chairman Smell. when he sought to
recognize Delegate John L. McNab OF
California to make the nominating
speech for President Hoover. McNab
made the speech for Hoover In 1928
and yesterday Joseph Scott Of Los
Angeles was the man designated for
the job.

satisfaction with the prohibition plank
expressed by those at the top of the
wet and dry organizations actually car

partisans. A lifetime Republican gave
away sergeant at arms badge. dis
carded his convention ticket and de-
clined to go to see Hoover renominated
declaring an intention Of voting for
anybody the Democrats nominated be-
cause the Republican party refused to
vote for repeal of prohibition.

Several hundred kilograms, most of

White House aides said most OF the

to the prohibition plank adopted by the
convention. None was made public at

Bishop Mcdowell Calls.
Another caller was Bishop William
Mcdowell of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, who recently went on the re-
tired list. Bishop Mcdowell has been
close friend Of President Hoover for
some time and has generally been con-
ceded one of his advisers regarding the
viewpoint of the church people and
the so-called drys on the troublesome
subject of prohibition modification.
Bishop Mcdowell, upon leaving the
Presidents office, said he had called
merely to shake the Presidents hand
and offer congratulations. When asked
if his concentrations included the Re-
publican platform in its entirety as well
as Mr.. Hoovers denomination, Bishop
Mcdowell declined to say.
The churchman asked to be excused
from making any comment upon the
liquor plank. other than to say he

DRIVE WILL BEGIN
WITH NOTIFICATION
White House and Rapidan to
Be Bases of Operation,
Under Present Plans.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Heartened by the overwhelming sup
port conferred upon him and his ad-
ministration by the Republican con-
vention, President Hoover today began
preparations for the stirring campaign
he must wage between now and the
fateful November election day.
He will launch his bid for return to
the White House from the south portico
of the presidential mansion unless plans
now being made have to be altered.
This first battle cry will be spoken a
few weeks hence, after the Democratic
party has chosen his opponent and an
nounced the issues upon which it will
contest Republican domination of the
Government.
Then Mr.. Hoover will receive formal
notification of the nomination granted
him yesterday amid acclaim and
enthusiastic uproar in Chicago.
Sends Appreciation Message.
He and Mrs. Hoover heard it all by
radio and directly he dispatched to the
convention chairman, Representative
Bertrand Smell, his message of appreci-
alton and his promise Ito labor as
have labored' to meet the trials and
difficulties now besetting the Nation.
As his plans now stand. the White
House and the mountain retreat on the
Rspidan River in Virginia will become
campaign headquarters. But he will
confer shortly and make definite ar
rangements with Everett Sanders. the
new Republican party chairman. who is
to direct the. party's election fight from
central headquarters in Chicago.
Vice President Curtis. who received
news of his renomiC Cation while at work
in the Senate. was still too deep in the
troubled affairs of Congress to set out
upon his campaign course. For him the
work will probably be even more ardu-
GUS. as he must bear the brunt of the
speaking assignments, visiting cities
which Mr.. Hoover will not have time to
reach.
Trip to Coast Unlikely.
-Four years ago Mr.. Hoover received
his nomination and delivered his ac-
Ceptance at his home in Palo Alto.
Calf. There was still a bare chance
today that he would travel westward
for a repetition of that occasion, but
it was deemed unlikely. Because of
new laws allowing him to cast his
vote by mail, II VIII not be necessary
for him to visit California even for
the ballotlng, so he may stay near the
Capital throughout the campaign, ex-
Cept for seven or eight trips to Sc
1ected cities for important campaign
addresses.
1t is certainty, however. that.
whatever else the President plans, his
Rapidan camp will play significant
part.
The camp has been equipped for
broadcasting and additional wire IA
Ciiities already have been installed
in the little village of Criglersville, Va,
about five miles from the camp. Mr.
Hoover intends to hold many # mis-
political conferences there. divorced in
a measure from the White House and
in comfortable and secluded spot Al
least one campaign address probably
will be broadcast from there.
