HOOVER HOLDS BACK CAMPAIGN FOR V/HIRLWIND FINISH

FIREWORKS TO BE SAVED FOR LAST6WEEKS Vote Drives Won in August Too Often Lost at Polls, Aids Explain. f LET ' 'AL DO TALKING But Plenty of G. 0. P. News Is Promised for Windup in October. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent PALO ALTO, Cal., Aug. 9.—The storm of the Republican presidential campaign will be held back until the last six weeks before Nov. 6, and until that time there will be as much calm as possible around the headquarters of Herbert Hoover, the Republican presidential nominee, a spokesman so rthe candidate made clear today. The statement was made in answer to complaints from newspapermen and others that there is no news emanating from the campus home of the Republican nominee. The startling lack of official information concerning future plans of action, announcements and subsequent denials regarding speeches end even the itinerary of next week’s trip back to Washington were thus explained by the candidate’s most authoritative source. Complains of Silence Many campaigns have been won In August that were lost in November. Many speeches have been made in September that were forgotten before electioh day. Hoover now is prepared to makS sure that neither of these two common campaign faults are committed in this campiagn. If there is any wonder over the fact that Governor Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic nominee, sees newspaper men and speaks for quotation every day and the coincidental daily submersion of the Republican candidate, it can be dispelled by the now official knowledge that the Republican campaign is to be conducted on the theory that he who laughs, shouts or explains last does best, the Hoover spokesman contended. In the last six weeks of the campaign the nominee will make many speeches and will be heard daily throughthe press or the other avenues of publicity, it was explained. Meantime, there will be silence, apd no matter how exasperating it may be to voters, Republican publicists or newspaper men accompanying the candidate, it still will be silence. N Plans Are Immature Immature plans for the future provide for the arrival this afternoon of Senator George Moses, New Hampshire, chairman of the notification committee; departure from Palo Alto the latter part of next week; with perhaps a trip to the Yosemite valley or the Tuolumne Meadows before that time; a stopover for a homecoming reception in Los Angeles, which may last from three hours to a day or two; perhaps a stop in the Grand Canyon; two or three days in West Branch lowa, at the Hoover birthplace homecoming celebration; and then direct return to Washington. There also have been tentative and unofficial plans ma t de for the nominee to visit Santa Barbara, Pasadena and Long BBeach, Cal., coincident with his Los Angeles visit.

DU PONT MAY QUIT MOTORS BOARD TODAY Multimillionaire Expected to Announce His Support of Al Smith. By United Press NEW YORK. Aug. 9.—Democrats expect to welcome into the party fold today another one of the coun-. try’s multimillionaire industralists, Pierre S. Du Pont. He probably will go before the board of directors of the General Motors Corporation, of which he is chairman, announce his support of Governor Alfred E. Smith for President, and offer his resignation. He may offer to give up his position as board chairman because of the recent announcement of President Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., that the company is nop in politics. Du Pont was influenced in the step, it is believed, by his close friendship with John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee, who recently resigned as chairman of the General Motors finance committee and member of the executive committee to devote his time to the Democratic campaign. Du Pont also is an opponent of the Volstead act, as is Raskob. Both are directors of the Assocation Against the Prohibition Amendment. Du Pont, likewise is, a member of the finance and executive committees of General Motors and chairman of the board of Du Pont De Nemours Company, with which Raskob also is associated.
