PRESIDENT HOOVER'S HOME.
Palo Alto, Calf, November 8-While
ticking telegraph wires brought to his
home steadily mounting returns from
the Nations polls, President Hoover
early tonight settled himself back with
few friends and neighbors around
him to await the final returns.
AS the immediate members of his
family and a small party of his friends
sat down to dinner here, one of the
Presidents aides said none of the
early returns had been given him and
there was no immediate comment upon
the Democratic majority in New York.
The Chief Executive, with Mrs.
Hoover by his side, came into their
home town this afternoon to meet
still another reception after a day OF
echoing receptions and almost imme-
diately cast their ballots. Processing
himself tired at the end of his IL ,000-
mile campaign drive, Mr.. Hoover re-
ceived with obvious emotion the early
greeting given him by the students and
faculty of Stanford University.
Met at the big memorial arch of the
university, on the campus of which he
lives, Mr.. Hoover raised a hand to his
eyes as he said in reply to the college
greeting, Il can tell you little of the
emotion an occasion like this gives me-
/ just thank you"
From the university arch, the Chief
Executive and First Lady stepped into

Mrs. Hoover was an organizer. to cast
