WASHINGTON, Juno 11. Ilni

nomination by the republican na

In a room adjoining bis office
Hoover has a radio set in , readi

The engagement list of the sec

absent. Only the secretnrv's most

these are In Washington-have
been nllowed to meet him Hlnee
the convention crisis loomed up.
All conferences with newspaper
men were discontinued last week.
The telephone wire to tlio Kan
sas City headquarters has seen
hard service, and there has been
no phase of the mnueuvtTimt of
Hoover's forces of v.bv- b i. i

City, has possibly been Ills Inn.-1
fniiueiit interrogator In the tele,
phone conversations, hut there
have been others. Ills most trusted
associates, all on the convention
scene, have been the only ones to
whom he 1ms talked.
The tenor of the exchanges be

Publicly, the secretary will not
break his silence until the verdict
of the convention has been
reached.
Borah Sounds Warning
KANSAS CITY. June ll.-rnr
the republican national convention
to force the nomination of Presi
dent ("oolldge "would be highly
dancorous." Senator William K.
Ilornh, of Idaho, today told his
stats delegation at his first confer
ence with them.
"We should then ho In a position
of electing a candidate who woiildj
ntitiuinn, t,-niug me pnny
to
I
CanipS
make. a campaign with a second
choice,"- Jloruh said. "As for
President Coolidgo 1 am confident
be will not run and am inclined to
believe ho will ask thut no fur
ther votes be cast for him if any
are cast on the first ballot.
"Am I see it, there are only two
'men In this race. One hi probably
in it without ids consent Presi
dent Coolldge. The other is Secre
tary Hoover."
Hoi all told the delegation that If
there was any strategic advantage
In Us voting for him he was will
ing that it should do so. Itut he
added that he hotted his state
would do nothing to Impair uny
advantage it might have by taking
n leudiug part in the selection of
the presidential nominee.
The senator let it be known that
he was willing to have the Idaho
votes go to Secretary Hoover
an early ballot, even on the first if
it should appear desirable to in
sure Idaho a place in Hoover coun
cils by this method. No definite
vote was taken by the delegation
on Oils qut'stlon and further con
ferences will tie held. ' - . -Sanders
Won't Talk
KANSAS CITY, June 11. Kv
erett SanderB, secretary to Presi
dent Coolldso, and possible bearer
of word from the While. House to
the convention,' arrived hero to
day, was silent on tho possibility
of Coolidgo making anothur state
mcnt about his availability as is
the president himself.
Mr. Sanders declined absolutely
to discuss tho president. He would
not deny or confirm rumors that
he had a message from Mr. Cool
idgo to the convention and there
were no Indications that lie intend
ed to participate in nny of the pre
convenllon proceedings.
It the secretary 1ms a message
from tho White House, he has
made no arrangements for making
it public. However, from his hotel
room tho secretary will Ik.- In a
position to keep In touch during
the day with the White House
should it ho desired.
Mr. Sanders declared he wnB
coming to the convention from
force of habit,: recalling he hud
long been in tho custom of attend
ing tho party's national conclave.
He waB for many years a member
of the house from Indlnmi.
Curtis Spikes Rumor,
KANSAS CITY, Juno 11. The
stand taken by Senator Curtis
against suggestions of Ills bolng a
vice-presidential candidate on the
republican i tlcket was emphasized
by him today, when ho said ho did
not "euro whether others liked It
or not.". ' r 1 "'
"1 am a candldute for president,
not for vlce-pfesident," declared
the Kansan. His resentment was
dirocted toward tho Hoover forces,
to whom he attributed responsi
bility for the vice-presidential
talk. i

Other Presidential Campaigns 1884
(By The Associated Press) ,
. Grover Cleveland of New York was nominated for
president of the democratic national convention of 1 884,
meeting at Chicago, July 8-11, and Thomas A.' Hendricks of
Indiana for vice president. Hendricks had been vice presi
dential nominee eight years before.
The republican party met June 3-6 at Chicago, the rank
and file demanding nomination of James G. Blaine for the
presidency. He was chosen, and Gen. John A. Logan of Il
linois was selected for vice president.
Blaine was styled "the Plumed Knight," and republican
marchin gclubs wore plumes in their hats during the cam
paign. But lack of support from an influential group in his
own party, the "stalwarts" headed by Senators Conkling and
Piatt, weakened him, and his defeat wns helped by the unfor
tunate use, on the eve of the election, of the phrase "Rum,
Romanism and Rebellion," employed by one of his sup
porters to characterize the opposition.
Blaine was for years the idol of his party, but like Web
ster and Clay before him and Bryan after, he never got to be
president. Cleveland was elected, the first democrat to win
since Buchanan, ; ,
