 Defense attorneys contend that Hockmuth is so nearly blind that he could not have seen the things to which he testified.
 Are After HOckmuth
 They began an attempt to prove their contention today by demanding certified copies of records in the New York city department of pulp lie welfare, purportedly showing that Hockmuth applied several years ago for pension. He swore in the ap- plicaticn, they saidr that he was virt- lially blind.
 Mrs. Anna Hauptmann engaged a new attorney, Burton B. Turkus of New York, to investigate Hochmuth's record. His employment brought Hauptmann's staff to six, two Of them Washington experts on su- preme court procedure.
 Turkus said 1t was quite possible" that . new trial would be ordered if official records proved that an m- portant eyewitness had sworn that he suffered from defective sight. An application for . new trial to Justice Thomas w. Trenchard of Trenton, before whom Hauptmann was tried, might induce the justice t at least delay re-sentencing him after his reprieve has expired.
 May Use Lie Detector
 Governor Harold c. Hoffman, who granted Hauptmann reprieve, said he did not know whether Q "lie de- tector" would be used in question: ing Hauptmann as has been sug- gested.
 T don't know how 1t could be iegallydone," he said.
 He answered other questions about the case noncommittally and re" fused to answer at all a question whether he had secret evidence ini- plicating employees of the Lindbergn household as Hauptmann's accom- plices.

Manila newspapers were lavish in

tiOns of all who have for the

"The two achievements may
appear diSSimilar, but there Is
this similarity between the feat
of AranaiZ and CalvO and the
teSt-fOr that is really what it
is-cOnducted by Miss Kilgallen
and Kieran that both were con-
ceived not as extraordinary per-
formanceS to be essayed by the
specially gifted or heroic, but as
demonstrations of what could
be done by the average man on

PRESIDENT
Text of Roosevelt Address at
Cleveland on Page A.
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

EN- ROUTE WITH PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT, Oct. II G.N.SO.
President Roosevelt entered his
home State of New York today.
completing the most strenuous part
of his campaign for reelection.
Behind him lay 5000 miles Of
travel in the last 10 days, through
a dozen States wherein he made
sixty-odd speeches-every one Of
which defended the New Deal rec
ord, assailed the opposition, and
reflected his own personal conf.
dence in the outcome on Novem.
Der 3.
New England Next
Ahead of him lay two more weeks
of campaigning. Next week will
find him in doubtful New England
for speeches in Massa achusetts and
Connecticut. After that a trip to
Pennsylvania is planned, possibly
sorte into Indiana, and then the
wind-up around the metropolitan
area of New York city.
Defeating a new federal build
ing at Buffalo, President Roosevelt
today praised highly the work re-
lief program of his Administration
which he declared made such
buildings possible. He said:
1t is a part of great national
program which has two Objec-
tives-tO provide work for un.
employed, and to furnish some
needed improvement.
"It was our American SubStl-
tute for the dole"
The President came to Buffalo
from Niagara Falls, a 25-mile drive
most of which was lined with up
state people.
Better Times Cited
The President set his own pace
on the long Western trip that
ended today and it was. a strenu.
GUS one. Similarly, he hammered
on the anvil of his own choosing,
and the theme song of it was that
the New Deal has bettered the lot
of the average individual and, con-
Sequently, is entitled to an extern
sion of its lease on the Federal
Government.
Mr.. Roosevelt reentered New
York from pivotal Ohio, where he
campaigned vigorously all of yes
terday. winding up at Cleveland.
where 10000 people stood patiently
in the rain for hours awaiting his
late arrival.

Republican leaders in California,
inviting him to visit virtually every
city and town in the State. Scores
of other kilograms came from
leaders in States along the route to
California, urging the Governor
to stop for even a rear porch" talk
from his "Sunflower Special"
either on his fast dash to the Coast
or on the return trip.
Two new stops on the Western
trip we're announced. One will be
at Albuquerque, N. NJ, on the way
West and the other at Phoenix,
Ariz., on the return trip. The Ian
don special will halt at both cities
for railroad servicing and the Gov
ernor consented to give a short
talk during each stop.
After speaking in Los Angeles
on October 20, Landon has Sched
uled speeches in Oklahoma City on
october %, and in indianapolis on
October "a. AS a result, he must
make a fast trip back East from
Los Angeles to keep these earlier
engagements.
Three new local issues were
raised against the President, be-
cause of his recent trip. Some Re
publican leaders contended they
cost the President more votes than
he gained by visiting Kansas.
Ignores Candidate
The issues we're that a negro
was denied the right to ride in
his Wichita parade; that Repub-
lican was barred from the same
parade because of his party affili,
alton, and that the Democratic
nominee for the United States
Senate, Omar Ketcham, was
ignored by Roosevelt on the tour.
Republicans contended these
three incidents added votes to Lam
don's cause. Democratic leaders
said they would have no effect on
RooSevelt's chances for carrying
the State, because he had no per-
sonal connection with them re-
gsrdless of the outcome, the Incl
dents were causing quite temp
est in the Kansas political teapot.
Leaves Tomorrow
Following Knox's visit, Landon
will spend a quiet Sunday before
starting West tomorrow night at
7:3C o'clock. His westward trip
will be over the Santa Fe Road.
He plans to arrive in Los Angeles
by noon Tuesday to participate
in monster political parade. He
will speak there at night. start
ing his return trip early the fol-
lowing morning.
After reaching Oklahoma City
on October %, Landon will make
a series of rear porch" talks
across that State, Indiana, prob
ably Ohio and Pennsylvania while
filling the other major speaking
dates. He speaks in Philadelphia
october 26, in Pittsburgh October
q, in New York city october %,
and in st. Louis October 81.

Miss Kilgallen Happy
With Old Friends

pered by my anxiety to be off
across the Pacific-theSe days Of
waiting, while the China Clipper
was held up at Guam by ty-
phoons, have been acute agony
to Kieran and me, who had to
stand here looking helplesSly out
over the Pacific while our fellow
world racer, H. r. Ekins, was
speeding ahead of us aboard the
Hawaiian Clipper.
Lunches With President
Ekins is at Honolulu today,
poised to take off on the last leg
of the transpacific hop-and
thence to New York. But Kieran
and haven't given up hope.
With Ekins still 5000 miles
from New York, we certainly have
a chance, however slim, to catch
up with him. And at this writing
he hasn't taken off from Hono-
lulu. So,
One of the pleasantest inter,
ludes of my stay here was my
luncheon yesterday with Presi-
dent Manuel Quezon of the Phil
ippine Commonwealth, in his
beautiful palm. palace over
looking Manila Bay and surround
ed by gardens of bright tropical

HOOVER CITES
R00SEVELT'S
JUGGLING

PHILADE HIA, Oct. II
G.N.SO-Former President Her
bert Hoover was to confer with
Republican leaders here today fol
lowing his charge that the Admin
istration of President Roosevelt
employed a system Of bookkeeping
jugglery to minimize its waste and
extravaganza and to magnify the
previous Republican administra-
tion'S expenditures.
Speaking before an enthusiastic
audience and over national radio
hookup, Hoover condemned the
Administrations fiscal policies,
and said:
"Drive these expenses down
toward the Republican levels,
balance the budget, put back the
integrity of the Government
accounting, and above all, re-
store truth and morals in gov
ernment by the election of those
honest gentlemen, Alfred M.
Landon and Col. Frank Knox"
RECOVERY RETARDED
Declaring that President Roose-
velt's policies have retarded re-
covery, the former President as
serted:
That the beginnings of recOv-
cry were worldwide, including
the United States, in the spring
of 1882 is recognized by almost
every economist, every scholar,
every informed statesman.
That was nine months be-
fore Mr.. Roosevelt ever came to
the presidency. In many cOun-
tries without the interferenceS
of New Deals recovery has
marched further and faster
than in the United States.
"Mr. Roosevelt naturally does
not emphasize the fact that
at his election the United States
alone faltered in the world
wide march of recovery.
PANIC LAID TO ROOSEVELT
HE does not recall that the
American bank panic was a
panic of fear that he would not
keep his campaign promises,
particularly as to the currency"
In attacking what he termed
the Administrations double en-
try" books, Hoover charged:
"If an income taxpayer or
any corporation kept books like
this Administration, that is, if
they showed similar morals in
juggling their accounts, they
would be put in jail

CAMPAIGNING
EXCITING AS
BALL SERIES
BY EARL GOODWIN

Dy GfAASA OOO"AAN
The presidential campaign gets
down to the last two weeks with
more excitement than a World
Series, with Governor Landon
promising to take California right
out Of the Roosevelt bag; and the
President daring to enter New
England with hopes OF snatching
Massachusetts,, which has, he has
been told. shown signs of Roose-
velt boom.
With the President in New Eng
land and Governor Landon on the
Pacific Coast, they will be as far
apart geographically as they are
politically-an nd anything can
happen.
California has actually been
considered Roosevelt State by all
the political sharps in this CITY,
with very few exceptions, but re-
Gently, for some strange and un-
explained reasons, word has ar
rived here from California that
"it looks like a Republican year"
Something similar with the re-
verse English trickleS down from
Massachusetts, where the Demo
Gratis report surge of strength
toward the President. ...
8 States Prizes
Meantime there are three
States at least in the Middle west
where on the surface at least it
is anybody's game. Ohio, Illinois
and Michigan are going at 1t
hammer and tongs in a campaign
that exceeds all expectations for
excitement. Both candidates have
worked those States as hard as
they can-With results; but what
the results are is a question on
which there is divided opinion.
Ohio is claimed by the Demo
Gratis, but there are more cross
winds and similar deterrents than
one sees at first glance. There
seems to be no doubt that Cover
nor Davey DD, is in danger of a
sound licking; and Republicans
base some of their hopes for the
State on that.
But way down deep there is a
movement to knife Davey and
vote for Roosevelt, which is not
an uncommon maneuver in poll
tics. In fact, the Democratic
bosses express it brutally, knife
Davey and plunk a vote for F. D.
r.. That gets rid of State
grouches against the governor
But the G. o. P. is not going to
let it go at that; the old Republi-
can feeling among Buckeye farm
ers is strong and is going to be
stronger in the next two weeks If
the Republican managers have
their way.
Lemke Vote Weakens
The Lemke vote is not going
to be as strong third party de
lection from the Democratic pol
as was expected in the beginning,
according to Ohio Democrats here
:. 1t may not get above 900
where at one time it was expected
to be nearly 100000, which would
have been considerable of han
dicap for the Dealers. And, as
a, final analysis, the fight out
there seems to resolve itself into
a struggle between rural Repub
licans and Democratic or pro.
Roosevelt workers in the indus
trial towns.
This same division occurs again
In Michigan, where an honest
view seems to give both candidates
a fair chance. There is story
about that Senator Vandenburg
of Michigan, is going to come out
with a statement so damaging tt
the New Deal that it will throw
the balance toward Governor Ian
don.

islative. or judicial"
Except for its listing votes cast
on labor questions by the candi-
dates, the report did not mention
any of their activities unfavor
able to labor.
Garner Hardest Hit
AS a matter of fact, the great
est number of unfavorable actions
toward labor were attributed in
the report to Vice President Gar
ner. Dealing with the Vice Presi-
dents votes in the House of Rep
resentatives, the report credited
him with 16 votes unfavorable to
labor, only II favorable, none
paired favorable and two paired
unfavorable, five not voting, and
one in which he simply voted
present.
On the question of Col. Frank
Knox. the Republican vice presi-
dental candidate, the report de-
clared simply:
"COl. Frank Knox, candidate
for Vice President on the Repub-
lican ticket, has never been a
Representative in Congress or
any legislature. The nOnpari.
san political campaign commit
tee is unable, therefore, to give
his labor record"
While the report went into
Roosevelt's favorable record to-
wards labor in the minutest detail,
including his labor acts as gov
ernor of New York.
LandOn Record Clear
It dealt with Landon's guberna-
torial policies toward labor simply
by quoting his messages to the
State legislature favorable to labor.
Members of the committee,
which drafted the report, are
President William Green, Vice
Presidents G N. Bubniazet,
Thomas A. Rickert. Matthew WolI
and Felix Knight, and Secretary
Frank Morrison.
The Roosevelt record was longer
than that of Governor Landon, as
the report listed the votes each
candidate has cast during his legls-
lative career, and Roosevelt's has
been longer than Landon's.
The report went back to 1911 in
the case of the President, and
listed his attitude on each major
labor question up through his pro-
posals since he entered the White
House. The data dealing with Ian
don took up the action of the Kan
sas governor as chief executive of
his State and quoted literally
from his speeches in support Of
labor.
Platforms Quoted
Today's report tagged as ground
less the fears of william L. Hutch
eson, president of the Carpenters
Union and until Thursday mem
ber of the A. F. of L. executive
council, that the document would
be strongly pro-Roosevelt.
All the proposals made by the
A. F. of L. to the platform COM
mittees in the national conven-
tions of the two parties were
listed, and after this in parallel
columns the report carried the
two platforms as adopted.
AS described in the report. the
Republican platform was silent on
only two questions with which the
Democrats formerly dealt. These
were in the home owning and
in the subversive activities plank
of the Democratic platform.
