B N e A ot P 15 X N HOOVER RECEIVES UCH APPLAUSE Convention Wildly Enthusiastic at Mention of His Name Kansas City, June 15 (P)—Hoarse from shouting, leg weary from stunibling through narrow, congest- ed aisles, ear-weary from oratory and just plain corvention-tired, hot and sticky, it was with hardly the #pirit left to raise a cheer that the republican national convention of 1928 set the formal seal of its ap- proval on Herbert Hoover as its chosen leader last night just in time to escape Friday and its traditions and superstitions of bad luck, After days of doing almost noth- ing since it pushed its way into con- vention hall last Tuesday, the as- semblage is the four year mainspring of party energies crowded into one day and night of almost continuous session virtually all of the business it had to do. Trample Opposition Once given the chance to say its own say as to platform dispute or rival presidential nomination as- pirants, the Hoover host trampled all opposition under foot #o overwhelm- ingly on every issue that it seemed dubious that enough pleces could be picked up today to put together a running mate for the Californian out | of the convention circle ftself. And with that done, the conven- tign Thustled off to hotel beda or waiting sleepers hent on a long sleep. It didn't even wait to hear Chair- man Moses rattle away an adjourn- ment formula that minutes as a duly taken vote but which in reality is just an arbitrary | cutting short of proceedings by the gingery New Fnglander who has al- ready built himself a reputation as ringmaster of a national political convention. Plenty of Action But let nobody get the impression that the convention did not get its till of noise and action when it got | back from dinners yesterday and sclected ite presidential candidate, The row it kicked up over Hoover's name must have set that worth, ears tingling with pleasure as he was listening in, and who, in his position, would not have been. Moses and his gavel notwithstand- ng, it took time and patience to reach the actual vote, The lHoover double demonstration, of course, took up a lot of epace. It was done With zest and finish both times his nrame was chanted by big-voice John McNab of San Francisco. There was nothing lacking, although everybody knew days ago just what was going to huppea. Loose Enthusfasm i In the circumstances, a somewhat | perfunctory orgy pf noise would have been no more ‘than natural, But Hoover friends were legion on the floor and all their bottled up en- thusiasm of the week burst loose like homebrew gone wild when McNab sounded off at the very start of hie | Epec . And it was worse, if pos- sible, on the second round. The usual stage seitings and properties had been provided in plenty by efficient Hoover managers. Flags, tin rattles, wooden clackers of assorted kinds were showered over the place from some mysterious horn of plenty. They were all used and most of them were used up; but even it never | & mechanical gadget of any Kind had | made its appearance the show would have trom lung power unassisted. There were other demonstrations as Watson, Goff, Norris and the others were named. They were just one or two state affairs, except when Curtis of Kansas was put up, or rather when he wag about to be put up. Hoover Galleries Cheer That was a matter outside conven- tion control for it was the folks back home in Kunsas, just over the river and surrounding Missouri, who did that job, except for the Kansas and Oklahoma delegations and a lad here and there with Curtis leanings the floor and the delegates had no hand fn it. All the cheering and noise was frome the packed galleries. sounded Like Rival Heard without explanation, ft would have sounded like a real rival demonstration that threatened Hoover's grip on the convention. But nobody in the hall could hay been mistaken, even before Moses threatened to clear the galleries with police aid if the guests failed to shut off their whooping for the home town boy and let business proceed. ‘There was only one real demonstra- tion st this convention and that was for Hoover, both chunks of it. So when Moses finally managed to get his flock of platform accounts into agreement on what the vote showed ¢nd officially declared that the answer to the now famous “Who but Hoover” was “Nobod There was just strength enough left for a feeble cheer, a flutter of bedraggled flags, a few weakly waving, tired bands—and that was all. In another half hour the tired and sleepy-eyed host was galloping off about its business and a very consid- erable part of it seemed to be gallop- ing clear out of town.

PEKING WILL NOT BE THE CAPITAL Nationalists Remove Headquar- ters to Nanking, China Peking, June 15 P—The na- tionalist ministry of communica- tions at Nanking hLas ordcred the Ieking directorate of posts to re- move to Nanking, the southern capital, It 15 understood that the foreign office in Peking also is being closed and that the administration may be transferred to Nanking or closed down. Exer sine the nationalists their allies captured Peking, there has appearcd little disposition on the part of the nationalist govern- ment at Nanking to set up its ex- and ceutive offices in the historie north- crn capital. There have even been rumors that the southerners might abandon Pcking as the capital of China and again make Nanking the central city of the nation. Nanking is the old classical capi- tal of South China, having been the seat of government successivély of the six dynasties between the fourth and sixth centuries, before it was made the capital of a new dynasty under the Mings in 1368, Honorary Title The name Nanking, or southern capital, was an honorary title from Emperor Yung-Li Under the Manchu dynasty, Nan- king became the seat of govern- ment for the viceroy of Kiangsu, Anhwei and Kiangsl. A provisional republican government was set up there in 1911, but the capital of the Chinese republic was later fixed at Peking. The Nanking their capital shortly after the capture of Shanghui. Were the nationalists to abandon Peking as a capital and transfer the con! of their government they would be following in the footsteps of soviet Russia, Which left the new pital established by Peter the ireat and returned in 1918 to the historic capital.

Deserted Petrograd Soviet Russia deserted Petrograd, now leningrad, to get away from foreign pressure which might be brought through navies. The Turk- 'ish nationalists were inuflenced also by the same motive. but if China were_to transfer from inland Peking to Nanking it would expose its seat of government to warships on the Yangte®, which is navigable for ocean-going steamers 500 miles above Nanking. But by transferring to Nanking the Chinese nationalists would get their government further away from Manchuria, always the most formidable military province, The Manchus and other invading forces from the north caused the erection of the great wall with which Chi hoped to check the rbarians” from the north. With the Chinese government re- | moved to Nanking the TUnited States would be left with an un- necessary legation property on its hands.

The merchandisq | exported from the country @uring | the month, the commerce departy | ment said today in announcing thq | figures, vepresented the highest exe | port value for any corresponding nth since 1920.

The increase in import values was attributed largely to the | larger receipts of a single cogimo- | gity, cotton.
