OUTLOOK IS DARK FOR HOOVER RE-ELECTION, SAY CONFIDENTIAL REPORTS TO PRESIDENT'S AID Country Generally Has Lost Confidence in Administration, Postmaster-General Brown Is Informed; Excessive Optimism After Wall Street Crash Blamed. CLINGING TO DRY CAUSE WEAKENS CHANCES Low Prices of Agricultural Products Cost Popularity in West; Lucas’ Warfare on Norris With Klan Methods Strengthens Democratic Party in East. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—Present outlook for the re-election of ; resident Hoover and general Republican success in 1932 is dark, according to confidential reports which Postmaster-General Walter F. Brown, the administration’s political adviser, has received from numerous G. O. P. observers. x In several cases, Brown is known to have conceded that this picture is true, although administration representatives profess to feel an improvement in business conditions will restore confidence in Hoover. In any event, Brown and Robert H. Lucas, executive director of t Republican national committee, are laying plans for the renominating oi Hoover, who is believed to be certain to seek re-election.

Although prospects are said to be dubious largely because of the economic situation, the drought and increasing suffering in both rural and urban sections, Brown has been informed that the country generally has lost confidence in the administration. Wets Growing Hostile Most of this feeling, it is understood, was attributed to the excessive optimism shown by Hoover and his associates after the Wall Street collapse, and the refusal to adopt more extensive relief measures in the face of the present crisis. The administration's clinging to the prohibition cause is another factor making a Democratic sweep likely in state and national elections two years hence, in the opinion of Hoover’s own canvassers. Predictions that Hoover could not carry such influential states, politically, as New York, Ohio and Illinois have been made, and the great issue in this section aside from economic discontent is said tp be the wet-dry question. Fanners Are Disgruntled It is considered significant that the Chicago Tribune, spokesmen for middle-western sentiment, recently published an editorial urging the G. O. P. to “look elsewhere” for its 1932 standard-bearer. Low prices of principal agricultural products have been cited as the chief item in the loss of Hoover popularity in the west. In many states It is said wagons bearing grain are rumbling into shipping and elevator centers with streamers announcing “this is Hoover wheat.” In some sections the price to the farmer is said to be down to 35 cents. Any relief from the farm board ">r changing economic conditions, it feared, will come too late to benefit Hoover or Republican candidates on state ticket::. Methods of Luces in fighting Sen-

ator Norris, in seeking to stir _p the passions of 1928 and in refusing an apology to ex-Govemor Alfred E. Smith for distributing a fake cartoon, has been advanced by numerous regular politicians here and elsewhere as a great factor in the administration’s unpopularity. Hoover’s willingness to let Lucas carry on political warfare with klan literature and methods has, it is said, strengthened the Democrats in the east, where Smith showed his greatest strength. At the same time Lucas’ attack on western progressives has weakened Hoover in that section.

CAVE-IN MARS NIAGARA FALLS 'BRIDAL VEIL' Great Hole Is Left In Cataract, Resembling a Missing Tooth. By United Pras NIAGARA FALLS, Jan. 19.—The most beautiful part of Niagara Falls —the famous “Bridal Veil” between Goat Island and the American side of the cataract—was marred today by a gaping hole in the falling water. The first major cnange in the contour of the falls since v-hite men first saw them occurred Sunday when an enormous mass of rock and earth 150 feet long and about fifty feet deep broke away from the rim of the precipice and plunged downward with the falling water. • There is constant erosion along the edge of the horseshoe, but no cave-in on this proportion has occurred in the memory of w r hite civilization on the American continent. The cave-in did not affect the numerous walks and light bridges used by tourists. Where the water formerly was carried several yards straight out from the edge by the force of the current, it now pours straight downward, causing a hole in the cataract which much resembles a missing tooth.
