Hoover is on, but whether or not it suceeeds depends upon the ability of his menagers to over-come the many [ wcles his versatile opponents placing in his way. Encour- aged by National Committee de- isions Monday and Tuesday which brought 23 delegates defin- itely under the Hcover banner, his backers are expressing in- creased confidence that he will go over on an early ballot.
