NUD|STS OF WORLD
CONVENE IN JERSEY
Prying Busybodies Nowhere
to Be Seen at Isolated
Mountain Spot.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
= STOCKHOLM, N. j., August ST.
High up in the Hamburg Mountains Of
Sussex County, where once the willy
Redskin trailed the puck and doe, the
International Nudist Conference
opened Its three-day annual meeting
today.
No prying busybodies peered In on
Camp Rock Ledge, for the place is as
Isolated as it Is exclusive. The camp
is conducted by the American Gymno-
sophical Association, and to reach 1t
one has to drive five miles beyond
Stockholm along q narrow winding
dirt road.
An ambitious program lay ahead OF
the 200 or more delegates, assembled
to put the finer touches on their plans
to establish at least one nudist camp
in every State of the Union by Janu-
ary 1, 1886.
On the eve of the opening of the
first session, DR.. Ilsley Boone, execu-
tive secretary Of the conference, said
the Disciples of the Altogether would
thresh out the problem Of how to
teach those who wear clothes how to
be tolerant.
Events on the program include pea
nut races, exhibition of skilled nudist
swimming, singing of the nudist
hymn, written by William Sheppard
Sparks, a talk on nudism among the
Eskimos and another talk on What
Will Nudism Do to Civilization?"

friendship and peaceful cooperation
OF the Little Entente states with their
neighbors impossible" said the COM
munique.
Therefore the Little Entente is hos
tile to Hapsburg restoration and Is
opposed to all measures aimed at paw
ing the way for such restoration. The
Little Entente will oppose them with
all its might"
The growing friendliness Of Little
Entente circles toward Prince Ernst
Won Starhemberg. vice chancellor, was
interpreted by some quarters to mean
that Fascist regime headed by him
would be welcomed by the Little En-
tente.
The communique failed TO say any
thing about Austro- German Anschluss,
or the possibility Of Q Nazi regime in
Vienna.

PARTY CH|EFTA|NS
HEDGE ON CHANCES
Hoover Declared About to
Withdraw From Scene.
Roosevelt Is Wary.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The pre-campaign battle of state
ments, speculation and innuendo re-
garding possible party nominees for
President picked up speed today as
the two chief figures In any such pic
ture became drawn into the contro-
versy.
From usually reliable Republican
sources came q report that former
President Hoover was contemplating
issuance of a statement during the
next few weeks giving definite notice
Of his intention Of mot choosing to
run"
From the White House came a
seemingly casual remark by President
Roosevelt that he might not be Presi-
dent in 1899, a declaration sufficient
to start whisperers whispering and
commentators commenting.
The presidential remark came in
the course Of questioning about q pub
lished magazine story to the effect
that he intended to balance the bud
get by 1e39.. Mr.. Roosevelt told news
men that he had not read the article
in question (by George Creel in Col
ners' Weekly and could not comment
on it. He added, however, that the
author is a good friend Of his.
Along with the Hoover report came
quick denials from other Republican
sources that the titular head Of the
party would tip his hand so early
in the campaign controversy.
There have been many recent de-
mands by Republicans that Mr..
Hoover make clear whether he was
seeking the nomination. Some of his
friends have said that what he wanted
to see was a party victory and that
at the proper moment he would say
who he thought could deliver that.
On the other hand, some astute
Republican politicians have argued
that If the former President desired
to have q hand In the selection Of
the nominee, he should keep silent.
In this way, they said, he would
maintain q personal following which
at the proper moment IN the conven-
ton could be thrown to the candi-
date he favored.
These men contended that If Mr..
Hoover disclosed his hand at this
time, his followers would scatter to
other candidates and when the Cali
fornian announced his favorite, he
would have less support to offer.
Already some Republican leaders in
the Capital have said they believed
a combination Of the conservative Re-
publican partisans would be laid
athwart any drive for the nomination
Of Senator Borah of Idaho.
There is no question but that Borah
would make the best race in the pri-
mary States" one of these said. But
when they go into convention, the
conservatives from the old line ranks
will get together and pick their own
man. They will put on a good show
and send the watermelon boys home,
saying, Well, we did the best We
could for Borah.'"

Local Resort OUners
Consider Plan to Curb
Army Worn, Nuisance
Plan to Eliminate Worm
Pest Outlined by Leslie
Orr, Entemologist.
TO USE POISON SPRAY
Recommendations Made at
Meeting Arranged by
Commercial Club.

Leslie Orr, entemologiSt with the
National Forest out of the Milwaukee
Office, addressed large aSSemblage at
the Forest hotel, Monday evening. Mr..
Orr spoke of the army worm situation
as it pertains to the infested areas in
this section of the state.
He has made an extensive study of
the pest and spoke from experience
gained in his investigations here early
last summer. Mr.. Orr went into de-
tails as to the origin and life OF the
worm. He told of the propagation from
egg to cocoon and back to eggs for next
years hatch.
He exhibited branches of aspen or
poplar, containing groups of eggs. The
branches were gathered by him and
Supervisor Harmon on their way up
from Duluth. Each group of eggs were
coated with what was shown to be a
hardened, sticky substance, contained
on the average of about 200 eggs.
These will supposedly hatch in the
early summer.
Mr.. Orr thought the best time to
combat the worm would be by poison
spray right after the Matching period
and just before the migrations of the
worms to more lucrative feeding
grounds. He spoke of spray of kero-
sene, soap and water as effective and
also a spray of arsenate of lead.
The estimated cost of the arSenate of
lead solution was figured at 81 per
acre for the spray besides the cost of
applying the same. When it was con-
sidered that the territory affected was
