HOOVER MAY END
 CAMP PAICN WITH
 DASH OVER WEST
By HENRY F. MIssELWITz

United Press Stan CorrespOndcnt) Washington, Nov 2-(UP)-- President Hoover and his advisers debated to-day whether to end his campaign with a last-minute dash across the country to his home in Palo Alto, Car, or to bring 1t to a close Saturday night in Minnesota. Tentative plans for the Califor- mia trip already have been made, pending MT Hoover's decision. The chief executive will leave to-
 morrow for another swing into the middle west. He will make three
 major speeches on this trip at Springfield, III. St Louis. Mo. and
 in St Paul, Minn. On the way West, the president will make brief speeches. as he has done in all his intensive stump tours in recent weeks. These stops
 include Gary, Ind. at g a. n1.. Fri-
 day where he will be met by Sem
 ator James Watson and other In- pdiana republican leaders.
 The itinerary on the way to Min
 nesota remained indefinite. The plans after his speech Saturday likewise remained "under discuss
 sion," Walter H. Newton, White House secretary, said. '
 "TIe may go on out to California
 and he may not" Newton said:
 ''There simply is no decision yet"
 Newton had no idea when the decision would be made. he said, and other White House officials likewise were equally unable to settle this matter. All insisted that they simply had no word from MT Hoover.
 Meanwhile, the president devot- ed most of his time to writing his speeches for the weekend mid western drive. He spent most Of yesterday in the Lincoln study and expected to remain away from the executive offices much of the time until he departs. The departure probably will be around 5 ?. m. to. morrow.
 Mrs Hoover. as usual. will ac- company him.
 Tonight, the president at 11:iS D. m., E. &. T. will deliver a brief message of greeting to Caiifornians over long distance telephone, as part of the celebration of "Califor.
 nian Day." He may say then
 whether he will go home to vote
 or not.

NEWTON D. BAKER SCORES POLICY
 OF THE 6. 0. P.
Stark Selfishness of Hoov- CT Regime Blamed for Economic Depression and World Trade War

New York, Nov 2.-(UP)-A republican doctrine" described as stark selfishness." is to blame for the present economic depression and the world trade war, Newton D. Baker charged in an address here last night.
 The former secretary of war particularly attacked the Hawley- Shoot tariff, which he interpreted as a declaration of war "by the republican party against the rest of mankind"
 "The greatest danger that faces the United States at this time." he warned, lis MT Hcover's sudden and violent conversion to the Haw- ley-Smoot tariff.S
 Baker reviewed the world stage from 1921 with the observation al that time s'there was offered to the United States the staff of lead erships among the peoples Of the
 When the republican adminis- tration came into office in 1921, he said, "a doctrine grew up among the leaders of the party that America should remain economically and politically alien ated from the rest of the world
 We substituted for the ideal- ism of woodrow Wilson," Baker continued, flor his vision. which saw the future of mankind and foresaw what seemed to be a pos sible thing, a warless world, ad- justing international difficulties with peace and honor--we sub stituted for. that a, doctrine of stark selfishness which cut us off from Europe and started us on a ma. terialistic regime which Ia still plaguing and the consequences ot which we are now suffering from
 "The republican administration in the meantime. encouraged the raising of tariff barriers. They wanted the United States to be ex- ceedingly prosperous. as was en- tirely proper for them to want to be, but they adopted this fantastic way of making us prosperous They raised tariff barriers so that nobody could pay us for anything they bought from US in goods"
 Baker recalled Wall streets ac. tion as the tariff became law. The stock market broke and leaders went to new lows.- General com modity prices throughout the United States sank further down, Baker said, land they have been sinking ever since. Wheat touched its lowest up to that time. Cotton went to Q new low"
 Approaching the climax of his speech. Baker said:
 "I want a change. think the republican administration Is in g condition of stalemate. I do not believe 1t is possible for MT Hoov- e., having proclaimed his idola- try of high tariffs. to face the world which is in the process oi liquidation and reorganization with any hopefulness of ultimate achievement.
 II want to see that change come about by the election of Franklin Roosevelt as president; and John Garner for vice president"

ISLAND AID RUSHED
Enormous Property Loss
Expected To Be Known
AS Reports Drift In.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. %.
U.P)--A hurricane which left at
least 200 dead, 1000 injured, thou
sands homeless, and caused i'm
'mense property damage in Porto
Rico swept northwestward today to
santo Domingo, where the storm
lost much of its fury.
Reports from Santo Domingo
saio the capital suffered no prop
erty damage or loss of life, al
though crops were damaged where
the storms struck the southern part
of the island.
The storm swept to Porto Rico
from the Leeward Islands, causing
damage and some loss of life in
the Virgin Islands en- route. It
reached its greatest intensity as it
swept along the Porto Rican coast
levelling villages, running citrus and
coffee crops, and leaving a trail
of death and destruction with
which island officials will be un-
able to cope alone.
Property damage here was worse
than in the 1928 storm. when 271
persons were killed 1t will be i'm
possible to estimate the damage
and loss of life at villages and in
the countryside until communica-
tons have been restored.
The hurricane advanced through
Porto Rican territory with speed
of about IS miles an hour and with
circling motion as high as 10
miles velocity 1t struck San Juan
shortly after midnight. The wind
made wreckage of all but the most
solidly constructed buildings, up
rooted trees, cut communication
lines, and wiped out crops within
few minutes.
A brief period OF calm followed
in the wake of the storm. Then a
tcrrential rain began which lasted
all day Tuesday, Gripping the eff
forts of relief parties and flooding
the ruins of many homes and build
ings.
Governor Beverley directed first
relief efforts toward repair Of the
water system to prevent the spread
of pestilence. With thousands
homeless and hungry, enc destruc-
ton Of crops threatened to add to
their misery.
The government had formed an
emergency committee The day be-
fore the storm. All agencies went
into action ar once. The war de-
partment at Washington promised
to rush aid.
A large number Of towns were
battered by the storm. They includ-
