6.0. P. LEADERS HOLD PARLEYS WITH HOOVER Optimism Is Expressed by Work, Fort, Moses After Conferences. BY PAUL MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—Herbert Hoover held a series of confer.iwes with the Inter-Campaign council here today, and while the subject thereof was not revealed officially, it was indicated the recent activities of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attorney general, were disclosed. Those attending included Hubert Work, chairman of Republican national committee; Franklin Fort, committee secretary; Senator George Moses, New York director, find Col. Horace Mann, in charge of the committee’s southern division, k Work, Moses, and Mann declined ■to discuss the purposes of their r conferences with Hoover when they Lcanie out. I The chief asked me if I had any c- iimunications about Mrs. Willebrandt and I said I had plenty," Moses said, declining to amplify that statement. Leaders are Reticent “I am chairman of the Republican national committees and I have conferences every day with Mr. Hoover," Work said. Mann declined to say anything. Moses was jubilant over the Republican situation in New England. He did not say whether Mrs. Willebrandt’s activities caused him to make the trip from New York for a conference with Hoover. “I came down to report about certain matters of vital political issue in states over which I have a watchful eye,” he said. “I reported to the secretary about the situation and I received from him certain words of wisdom and I am now on my way back.” Fort, the first to emerge, said he had given Hoover a report of his recent New England trip and had not discussed Mrs. Willebrandt’s recent speeches. "I feel more confident of New England now than before,” Fort said. Speech Draft Finished Hoover sent the first draft of his Elizabethton speech to the printers today, and betting was even around his headquarters that he would take next week for the fishing trip he has delayed for a month. The speech takes no recognition of recent attacks upon the Republican campaign by the Democratic candidate, Governor Smith, in his western tour. It is based on historical incidents in the battle of Kings Mountain, fought near the little Tennessee town where it is to be delivered, and it treats of the necessity for developing the humane side of Government. - {The first draft required a week of arduous labor. The nominee will now go over it again, and' headouarters hopes he will be able to conclude it by the end of the week. Plans to Go Fishing In that case, he will try out some of the new fishing tackle presented to him by friends. He may go to Soloman’s Island in Chesapeake Bay to board a private yacht for two or three days angling before he he sets out for a week from Friday for his brief Elizabethton trip. Tempting reports that the water abounds in bluefish, spots, perch and trout have been laid before him in an effort to lure him away from his desk.

Borah of Idaho, continued his campaign for the Republican national ticket here Wednesday night in the convention hell, where three months ago, he completed the ticket by nomination of Senator Charles Curtis as vice presidential candidate.

Hugg, board attorney, ruled the furnace and other articles were a part of the real estate and Business Director Albert F.
