lew persons as he left his closely guarded
hotel apartment for his morning walk,
accompanied by his youngest son. Allan,
and his secretary, Lawrence Richey.
Few Recognized Him.
Several persons spoke to him by name,
and he returned their greeting with a
nod, but for the most part his high
turned collar against heavy mist and
light rain afforded him the non-recog-
milton he apparently desires.
During the day, Richey said. Mr..
Hoover intended to take care Of strictly
personal business" Several callers
dropped into his apartment. among
them Walter Brown, former Postmaster
General, and Patrick J. Hurley, erstwhile
Secretary Of War. Brown arrived here
late last night from the National
Capital.
The former President set out some
what later this morning for his consti-
tutional than he did yesterday. Instead
OF walking uptown, as he did then, he
turned south and strolled down Park
avenue, stopping whenever something Of
interest caught his eye.
Plans Indefinite.
He walked as far south as Thirty
sixth street. inspecting en- route the
Grand Central Station, which he has
seen only against the background Of
huge crowds since he entered the high
office Of the presidency four years ago.
Richey said Mr.. Hoover vas still un-
decided as to when he would set out for
his California home. He indicated that
the ex-President desired to give little
more time to the affairs Of charitable
organizations in which he Is interested
saying a conference with one of these
groups had been scheduled for tomorrow.
