republican ticket.
 Holtel lobby reports that 1t ig In the bag for Landon on the first ballot" were followed quickly by stories that Q deal was on to snare Michigan's votes for the Kansan by offering the vice-presidential spot to Senator Arthur II. Vandenberg of that state. There has been no echo of applause in the Landon camp, so far, for the suggestion of J. Henry Roraback of Connecticut that the republican ticket be Landon and Rep. James w. Wadsworth of New York. John D. M. Hamilton, Lan- don campaign manager, welcomed Rcraback's tender of Connecticut's votes for Landon but would not comment on the vice-presidential nomination.
 Fletcher Is Annoyed
 Fletcher and the convention com- mittee on arrangements decided to invite Mir. Hoover to speak here. He probably will appear one week from today. Replying to questions with Q show of annoyance, Fletcher ex- plained that the arrangements cor1- mittee of which he also is chair- man had authority to invite speak CTS and that 1t was not Q matter for the convention itself to pass upon. He compared the selection of such Q speaker to provision of bands, sing CTS and other "tilne killing" enter. tainment which must be provided for delegates while they wait for the report of their platform committee. Nominating speeches ordinarily do not begin until the platform has been adopted.
 The Hoover invitation conforms with strategy of Landon's managers to conciliate as many party factions as possible. Hamilton urged last week that the former president be invited to speak. Hoover has been considered by many observers to be opposed to Landon's candidacy.
 Unrest in Borah Camp
 There was evidence of unrest at Borah headquarters. Some commit. tee members took the position that if Mr. Hoover were invited to speak ali republican candidates be given the platform privilege-this despite MT. Hoover's recent announcement that he was not candidate for the nomination. If Fletcher and the ar- arrangements committee decide against inviting any but Hoover to address the convention, the Borah managers can appeal to the national commit- tee which will meet today.
 Any man big enough to be nom- mated ought to be big enough to come before the convention to make speech" said Carl c. Bachmann, Borah campaign manager.
 "One of the finest things the com. mittee could do," he added, would be to invite the candidates to speak before the convention"
 Borah packers believed the sei1a- tors great oratorical ability would give him 8 real advantage in platform parade of candidates and that Landon, especially, would be at disadvantage.
 Democrat Vice-Presldcnt National Committeeman R. B. Creager of Texas was the first conn- mittee member to second suggestions that Q conservative or constitutional democrat be nominated for vice. president. He said he favored Douglas. The New York Herald Tribune made the proposal yester- day editorialiy.
 Although there is ct best only minority of support for 1t 50 far, the suggestion obtained unexpected en- dorsement in Washington from House Republican Leader Bertrand H. Shell. Shell will be permanent chairman of the convention and may toss the issue into the laps of the delegates in his speech accept- ing election to that office.
 A beckoning gesture of some kind toward disgruntled democrats is as- sured. Tentative drafts of the plat- form uniformly contain an invita- ton to all defenders of the AIneri- can form of government and particularly to anti-New Deal demo. crats to help the g.o.p. lick the New Deal this year.
