_. HODVER EVINCES INTEREST IN 0. Follows Primary Election in Reed’s State Keenly Stanford University, Cal, Aug. § —Returns from the primaries in Missouri, one of the border and doubtful states, were carefully scru- tinized today by*Herbert Hoover in an effort to determine whether they would furnish an index to the result in the national election there in November. Interested in Mo. Chief interest of the republican presidential candidate centered on the democratic senatorial race, in which Charles M. Hay of St. Louls, | a dry, had rolled up a commanding | lead on the early returns over his chief opponent, James A, Collet of Salisbury, a wet, who had the en- dorsement of Senator James A. Reed. It is no secret that republi- can party leaders would welcome 2 victory by Hay, as this would place a wet presidential candidate and a dry senatorial candidate on the dem- ocratic ticket in November. They contend that the dry sena- torial candidate could not be in sym- pathy with the views of Gov. Alfred E. Smith on the prohibition issue, | and that this would work in faver | of the republican candidates all along the line. Since national issues were not at stake in Kansas, the re- sults of the primaries there carried only passing interest to the G. O. P. chieftains. Anyhow, they are con- fdent that Hoover's running mate. Senator Charles Curtis, is certain to Keep that state in line in the general election, as he has been the com- manding figure in politics for many years. Few Engagements | The republican presidential nomi- nee had few engagements for today. and planned to get as much rest at home as possible, and at the same| time to give more thousht to the speech he will deliver at West Branch, Towa, dealing with the farm | relief problem, toucatng primarily upon the indirect rather than the| direct methods of haudling the agr!- cultural situation. The nominee was all smiles today | over the success of a fishing trip he | made yesterday to a lake 30 miles | south of this place. He slipped away during the morning hours, and re- turned in midafternoon with his creel fairly well filled, having taken out of the water the legal limit of a one additional fish Better Luck Thus Hoover discovered that he would have better luck, almost at his back yard, in pursuing the wily trout, than attended his efforts dur- ing the long motor trip he made last week with nearly half a hundred friends and newspaper correspond- ents in the mountains of northern California and southern Oregon.

Palo Alto is going to ‘declare a Yoliday Saturday in honor of Hoover and his notification. There will be a half holiday in San Francisco any- way, and the railroad and bus lines are preparing to handle a record crowd from that city. There is a con- siderable amount of zuessing as to the size of the crowd that will gath- er in the Stanford bowl. The univer- sity authorities are proceeding on the theory that the 90.000 capacity will be well taxed, and they have chalk- ed off parking space around th | stadium for nearly 90,000 automo- biles. If half that number com# the stadium will be filled, even to stand- ing room.

Some have advanced thdr wages to $55 a month. HORSE EXHIBITOR TAKES OWN LIFE Family, However, Believes His Death Was Accidental White Plains, N. Y., Aug. 8.—@— G.

WOMAN'S FACE 1§ LSED AGAINST HER Georgia Governor Believes in Reading Physiognomy Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 8$—Eula Mae Thompson, 23, who waits in the county jail here for word as to whether she must follow her 22. year-old husband to the electric chair to expiate a murder, is pretty, by ordinary standards. Also, she is dimpled. But in the eyes of Gov. L. G.

Hardman in Thompson's case. When the governor refused to respite Thompson a few hours be- fore his execution the other day, he recounted various legal reasons for his action, and added: “Believing that the verdict is just and that the parties are guilty, and with the additional impression of the pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Thompson and reading as best I can thelr physiognomy and phrenology I feel that the court rendered a right- cous verdict.” Gov.

He holds to the theory that finger prints, if thoroughly under- stood, would tell not only who but what a man is. In time, he believes science, by studying finger prints, will be able to determine the exact type and degree of human mentali- ties. When Gov. Hardman gave up medicine for business, he always studied the heads of men whom he came in contact in busi- ness ways. Gov.
