Special Dispatch to The Star. HARRISBURG. Pa., January 14— What is regarded as the opening speech of the presidential campaign in Pennsvlvania will he made here hy Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover January 25, With a sizeable sentiment in Penn- sylvania in faver of Hoover for the Republican presidential nomis 3 his appearance as principal speaker t the annual banquet of the Penn- ania State Chamber of Com- merce is expected to give impetus to | his unannounced candidacy. The in- vitation from the chamber is regard- ed as having more significance than 2 mere desire to hear him discuss commercial matters of mutual in- terest. Opinion, even among those favor- ing Hoover, is not unanimous in ap- proving his appearance here. There are a number who believe Hoover's interests would be advanced more by remaining out of the State and keeping in the background until Pennsylvania’s viewpoint of pre: dential politics has had a little more chance to develop. Mellon’s Stand Awaited. This belief appears to he hased partly on a wish (0 see what the at- titude of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon w There is a fe | that Mellon is not I Secretary no: ment: and a feeling of doubt wheth- r he will do so later. The feeling is mot based on anv definite indica- tion of Mellon's desire, hut rather the lack of such indication, his ret- | icence when other cabinet members let it he known they considered Hoover presidential timber, and the statements of his nephew, State Chairman W. L. Mellon, that present plans are for an uninstructed delegation from Pennsylvania. It happens that the day Secretary Hoover is scheduled to speak here is also the first day on which can- didates for delegates to the national political conventions ean obtain sig- natures for their nominating peti- ions A number of candidates for Repuh. delegates have made their an- nouncements, but thus far none has | \mnounced as favoring any individual | r_presidential nomination. In the Democratic party. several candidates have announced this week they will support Gov. Smith of New York if sent to tha con. vention. Some of these announce. ments have come in congressional dis. tricts which habitually elect dry candi. dates, although contests for nomina-. tion usually are frequent in those dis- tricts. Absence Is Disappointing. Absence of Senator James A. Reed of Missouri from the Jackson day din- ner in Philadelphia Monday night dis. appointed the politically expectant. Although the dinner was staged large- I¥ by Smith backers, the invitation to the Missouri Democrat had given rise to the impression that the Philadel- phia wing of the party was not Ir. revocably committed to Smith. Pros- pects of a Reed phillippic against Vare in the home city of the man he has investigated for a year and a half was looked forward to by Reed enthusiasta as a very good way to break ice for 1+ Democratic campaign in Republican Pennsyivania. | Possibilities of & larger majority of | the Pennsylvania Democratic delega tion for Smith than had at first heen anticipated are seen in the declara- tion In favor of Smith from Roland S Morris, Philadelphia, former Amba sador to Japan and a former Demo. cratic State chairman. Morris for years had been regarded as allied po. litically with former Democratic Na- tioaal Chairman noe C.

Miss January 14}— Mississippi Democrats no doubt will go to the national convention to ophose Al Smith for party nominee This sentiment developed during lho\\ in recent gubernatorial campaign which Gov, Murphree, defeated for four-year term, announced that hi would favor a Mississippl delegation instructed against Smith, Gov. Rilho, elected over Murphree, in Interviews both in New York and Mississippi, has announced his oppo- sition to a “wet” and by force of political necessity, 8 against Smith. Sentiment is against Smith, hut not evident for any other Democrat. The Republican delegation probably will_be controlled by the national administration. A movement is on foot now to organize a “lily white" Republican faction, hut at present, another faction in control is composed largely of officeholders who will sup- port the nominee favored by the Washington administration. Little interest is shown on a whole in_the presidential possibilities as political activities are centered around the State capitol, where Bilbo is heing inaugurated and where a Democratic factional fight in the Legislature Is under way.

MISSOURICENTERS ON GOVERNORSHIP Republican Leaders to Meet Tuesday in Effort to Settle on Candidate. | Special Dispatch to The Star, KANSAS CITY, Mo, January 14.— State-wide Republican interest in Missour! is centered on a conference of Republican city leaders to be held Tuesday in St. Louis in an attempt to reach an agreement on a Repub- lican candidate for governor. St. Louis, with half a dozen nearby “wet” counties in which ecitizens of German descent predominate, hae about one-third of the vote of the State, and is normally Republican With jte large vote. St, Louis gen erally determines whet Missouri will g0 Republican in State and na- tional elections. With a strong gubernatorial candi- date, who would appeal to St. Louis voters, State leaders believe they would be able to continue Missouri in the Republican column next No- vember. But, with a weak out.Stat candidata nominated in the August primaries, the Republican chances ap. pear not so good. Governorship Is Open. The weakest place on the Repub- lican ticket this year is the governor- ship, for which no candidate with a tate-wide following has yet an- nounced. Tn 1924 President Coolidge carried Missouri by more than 70,000, while the Republican candi- date for governor won by less than £.000 votes. The party leaders, realiz- ing they have no Conlidge this vear 10 carry the State ticket with him re particularly anxious to obtain a real votegetter for governor, St. Loufs. however, has no plentiful =upply of Republ governor. Present an candidates for ndications are that Iy one potential candidate, Judge Henry Caulfield, formeriy of the & Louis Court of Appeals and a “wet.” will permit hix name to he presented to the party conference next Tuesday. It is probable the conference, which | will be attended by ahout 90 of the city's leading business and party lead. ers, may attempt to draft former Rep- resentative Cleveland A. Newton. Sev. | times Newton has declined to he come a candidate this year, although assured the nomination for governor virtually without a primary fight. Newton is more desirous of going to the United States Sena Prospects Not Bright. At this time prospects are not hright for the St. Louis conference finding a candidate for governor who will ob. 1928—PART 1 nomination. Osborn also was a atrong supporter of the governor., In the flrmzhevk camp the name of former Liew. Gov. George Welsh ot Grand Rapids, a man who always has had strong \support in Detroit, is heing mentioned. Neither Vanden herg nor Oshorn Jhave much strength in Detroit and the strategy of Welsh's robable candidacy, as outlined by Groesheck followers, {8 that Osborn and Vandenberg ‘will split the out- State strength, giwing Welsh an op portunity to win with a big vote in Detroit, addéd to comsiderable strength out-State which be has been able to muster in past wampaigns. Little Opposition Seen. From indications, 'the present Con- gressmen will be ecandidates for re- nomination with littde, it any, oppo- sition in the Republican ranks, in which all are enlisted. Democratic opposition in congressional campaigns seldom aron any interest or re- sults in the garnering wf many votes. The Democrats were looking hope- fully to Washington Tast week for favorahle action on Detroit's hid for the national conventio Success un- doubtedly would have heen the nucleus for organization of a militant democracy in Michigan this vear, ex. pecially in view ,of the nefusal of the Republican natlonal committee to select Detroit The only occurrence relative to the | Republican presidential gituation in the last week was.a publfe announce. ment by J. Walter Drake, manager of the Heover campaign, that head quarters would be_opened in Detro in a short time. tion of a Lowden organization awaits the arrival of Clarence F. Buck from Chicago headquarters, who has he would call a meeting to discuss orgamization plans in the next few weeks.
