By the Associated Press His attention centered now upon the present exigencies of the campaign, Herbert Hoover is leaving to the future his precise program for the closing days of the presidential contest. His chief concern for the time being is the Eastern sector of the country, from which he receives varying reports 8s to the outlook. Some of these are | of a very pessimistic nature, while others are less gloomy. Assessing the whole, the Republican presidential candidate is convinced that | the real fight is along the Eastern At- lantic seaboard, from Jersey's shores to the point where begins the ro#k-lined coast of Maine, and his efforts are di- rected toward strengthening the party ramparts there. Leaders in that section believe tha his personal visits to New York Cit: and New England will be of great ben- efit, and that after his personal con- ferences with the workers and his two addresses, one in New York and the other in Boston. there will be a rising tide of support for the national ticket.

Wager on Whether He Has Most Money Ends in Brawl—One Held. 1 It is one thing to have money in your | jeans, but a decidedly different thing ! to pay it out on a bet. At least this | was the opinion of Walter Dozier, | colored, of 34 Pierce street, and an unknown combatant. Responding to five alarm calls within | about two minutes, police discovered street between North Capitol and First streets, with a crowd of 500 people, mostly colored, around him. Inquiry brought out that Dozier made a wager with another colored man that he had more money in his pockets than he. | The fight ensued following an argument over the payment of the bet, it was said. Dozier was arrested on a charge {of disorderly conduct. Police were | unable to find the man with whom he | had been fighting.
