HOOVER MAKING
PLANS TO ENTER
NEXT CAMPAIGN
In Conference Out West
With Some of the Old
Guard Leaders
BY w. b. DICKINSON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

Denver, Colorado, March a.
lUP)--A growing belief that
President Herbert. Hoover, now
touring the west on a pleasure
trip" actually is quietly feeling the
public pulse was expressed by poll
teal observers here today.
At several points in the last few
days, Mr. Hoover has conferred un-
ostentatiously with "old guard" re-
publican leaders-among them
such national figures as Charles G.
Dawes, the former vice-president
and Albert G.. Simms, national re-
publican committeeman from New
Mexico.
After each such meeting, the
former president, persistently de-
nying himself to newspapermen.
has sent out word through his Sec
rotary that at was just a coinci-
dence," or that IT was just visiting
personal friends"
Coincidence Doubted
But observers are finding it in
creasingly difficult to believe that
such a distinguished assemblage Of
leading republicans as the former
president met in Phoenix. Ariz. for
example, were there solely by a
coincidence.
In that assemblage were Dawes
Pershing. Hartford, Henry M. Rob-
inson, well-known Los Angeles
banker and adviser to the former
president, and Arch w. Shaw, bus
mess man of Winnetka, III.
According to Paul Sexson, his
secretary, it "just happened" that
these men were in Phoenix when
Mr. Hoover arrived there.
Then, leaving Phoenix. the
former president drove to Albu-
querque, N. M. and there he
spent Monday night with Mr. and
Mrs Simms.
Met Old Guard Leader

publican "old guard" in New Mex

Senator Bronson Cutting. Mrs
Simms is the former Ruth Hanna

gresswoman from Illinois.

ATTORNEYS HAD
MORE PROTESTS
OVER BANK LOAN
Judge Wells Decided to
Take Matter Under
Consideration

A further hearing on the appli-
cation of the receiver for the Mer-
chants Trust company to borrow
$4,000 for a 10 per cent dividend
to savings depositors developed OPP
position on the part of several at
torneys in superior court today.
Judge Arthur F. Ellis stated he will
give the matter serious considera-
ton and attempt to file finding
within week.
The first hearing was held last
Friday. At that time about nine
lawyers offered statements, each
suggesting that the proposition be
given mature thought before TAX
ing any'action.
Under the application as out
lined by Attorney Francis It.
Reeves, the Colonial Trust Com
pany and the Citizens and Manu-
facturers National Bank would adj
vance 100000 in cash for a saw
ings department dividend. The
banks would take assets of the
Merchants Trust Company as col
lateral security for the notes. The
banks would charge 5 per cent in
terest on the notes making the
total annual payments about
$4,000.
Attorney Reeves said the re-
ceiver was of the opinion that the
savings depositors are in favor of
another dividend, they having re-
ceived but two 10 per cent pay
ments during the two years of re-
ownership. The commercial side
has received three dividends and
there is cash available now for a
fourth payment.
Objections were raised by Attor-
ney John H. Cassidy, Attorney j.
Gregory Lynch, Attorney Michael

COCKTAIL PARTY

Wall Street Propaganda Is

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Mar. 2S-(UP)-
The mysterious "red plot" charge
of an Indiana school teacher
against "brain trusters'' developed
today into a series Of alleged
counterplots which may cause a
house committee investigation OF
an alleger cocktail party out in
Gary, Ind, last summer.
Congress was. stirred to an un-
usual degree by the charge of DR..
superintendent, that President
Roosevelt was playing the part of
"Kerensky in the American revo-
luton"
Rep. George Ernest Foulkes, D.,
Mich, said today he was relay to
go before any committee at any
time" and amplify his charge that
DR. Writ based his brain trust rev.
olution" on hangover" remarks of
participants in the cocktail party.
IF those who told DR.. Writ these
yarns had kept sober, and If he
had been less gullib.e, all of this
excitement would never have oc-
cured said Foulkes in a house
speech, adding II prefer to think
he has been bamboozled instead Of
believing that he is deliberately in
the employ of Hitler"
Foulkes' assertion that ''the
treacherous siren song of Hitler
ism speaks through DR.. Writ" gave
impetus to the drive Of Rep. Sam
vel Dickstein, D., N. Y, to have
the Writ investigation carried on
by his special Nazi propaganda

Auto Races At. Huntington Track Sunday Afternoon

The possibility of a clash be- tween Al Jopson, Bridgeport driv- CT, and George Rice, Milford ace, may attract record gathering to the Huntington Speedway for the weekly auto races Sunday after noon.
 Rice set the track record two weeks ago with thrilling turn of the track. He cracked the old mark of 31 seconds hold by Bill Troutwine and the new record set that same day by Harold Talbot. Jepson won the main event and another race at Huntington last week and he has been a rival to Rice since the day Al downed George at Sage park earlier in the year.
 The entire field would probably be willing to ''gang" Jepson. Trout wine used to hold away at Hunt ington until those other ace driv- CTS came along and took some of the money away from him. Wild bill, however, is still threat and always manages to win one event.
 Among the stars entered are: Allen Kellogg, John Mulvihill and Tony Renna, Danbury; Bill Hor- ton, Norwalk; Fred Carlson, Os- sining, N. r.; Mike Zilka, Johns- town, N. J.; John Clinch. New Britain; George Way, Norwich, and Ted Darley of Waterbury.
