WASHINGTON, Se. 19.
(AP) Renewed appeals to Her
bert HooTer to enlarge ma speak
ing itinerary to ineludo a swing
into Texas and a speech at Chica
go came to him today as he return
ed to his desk from two days of
arduous campaigning in New Jer
sey. The Texas invitation was given
by a group of democrats from the
Lone Star state who called upon
the republican presidential candi
date during the day to tell him
that their state was in the doubt
ful column and that if he would
speak there he would stand a bet
ter than even chance of getting its
electoral votes in. November.
Bourbon Heads Group
They were headed by Thomas B.
fH&ve, of Dallas, a former national
"y; democratic committeeman forTex
i f"S8- Loto said that the democrats
tl of his s tote we re in open revolt
M against the democratic nominee,
B Governor Alfred E. Smith, and
that he had assured Hoover that
a Journey to Texas would enable
blm to carry the state.
Hoover Remains Mum
No indication came from the
nominee, however, of any inten
tion on his part to alter the
schedule of speeches he already
has set for himself. Neither was
there any comment forthcoming
from the republican standard bear
er regarding the speech of his
democratic opponent last night at
Omaha.
Despite his tiring New Jersey
s tour, the candidate was at his desk
at his personal headquarters early
today and spent one of the busiest
n days of the past several wtets. In
addition to bis study of the Texas
situation he gave his attention to
fresh reports from Tennessee and
Ohio and went over the general
situation with members of the re
publican senatorial campaign
committee.
Ohio Wants Speech
An invitation for the nominee
To speak in Ohio was brought by
ver, declared after the confer-
ence that the invitation would not
be pressed.
Mrs. McCormick brought to Hoo
ver a report that the women of Il
linois were intensely interested in
the campaign and that no appre
hension was felt concerning the
Tote of the Illinois farmers.
While Dr. Hubert Work, chair
man of the republican national
committee, was issuing a state
ment declaring that Governor
Smith's Omaha speech on the ag
ricultural problem was based upon
misquotations, telegrams were be
ing received at the Hoover head
quarters from various labor lead
ers commending his speech on la
bor at Newark Monday night.

Two minor accidents occurred,

missing a score of flying, iron
shod hoofs. In the bucking con.
test, a cowboy thrown from a
broBC, landed upon his hands and
broke several bones in his fin
gers. A new thriller was added to the
round-up w today. Sacred white
steers from India proved nnrid
able. These Brahma steers tossed
would-be riders to earth or against
fences, attacked horses and dis
ported in general. One Brahma
got under a horse, lifting the anl
mal from the ground like a wreck
ing car hoisting a disabled auto
mobile. Then a wild, headlong
charge was made toward a va
quero, who leaped for safety up
on the gate of a corral.
Feverish activity prevailed iff
the ring upholding the tradition
of "no delays" in the Pendleton
round-up.
At several stages of the per
formance the track and arena
were filled with escaped horses,
bucking and kicking their- way
around, with every human on the
alert and ready to run or Jump.
To add to the attraction or to de
tract from it an airplane was
performing apparently haxardaus
ntnnta over' the heads of those
thronging' over the stands.
Cameramen, wranglers, pickup

ready for pictures or emergencies,
and finding enough' of both to oc
cupy their attention.

complaint In connection with the""
"murder farm" crimes.
VERNON. B. C. Sept. .1.
(AP) A man who police were
confident is Gordon Stuart Nortb
eott. wanted on a murder com
plaint by Riverside. Calif., author
ities, in connection with several
crimes allegedly committed on his
chicken ranch at Riverside, was
arrested here today. The arrest
was made on the arrival of the
train from Okanagan Landing,
where the steamer Sycamous ar
rived at noon from Okanagan
lake ports.
Identity Established
' The arrested man. according to
the police, practically admitted
that he was Northcott. He did
not deny his identity nor did be
actually admit it. The police were
certain, however, that he fs the
much-sought man for whom a
country-wide search has been in
progress for several days. He was
taken to Kamloops, B. C, tonight
and will probably b taken to Van
couver, where he would arrive to
morrow morning, for positive iden
tification. It was Purser Watson of the
steamer Sycamous that first sus
pected the passenger on his vessel
was the accused Riverside ranch
er. The man boarded the boat thin
morning at 10:30 o'clock at West
Bank. He secured a ticket and alee
a berth, tendering in payment a
$100 United States bill, and ask
ed that he not be disturbed in bis
berth until the steamer arrived
Okanagan Landing.
Suspicions Aroused
Watson thought the request of
the man was out of the ordinary
and this with the tendering of aa
American bill of large denomina
tion, aroused his suspicion that
the man might be Northcott. Wbea
the boat arrived: at Okanagan
Landing; Watson notified the po
lice and provincial constable Mere
ly Green responded. He did ot
take the suspect into custody im
mediately, but rode; with him rx
the train to Vernou where police
of that city met him i and it was de
cided to take the suspect off the

When asked for 'documents of
