Members of Congress Declare
Viscount Grey Episode Will
Kill Boom. I
Interviews with officials here rtow
a decided sentiment against Herbert
Hoover's candidacy for President.
Herbert Hoover is "more English
than American," and it was quite
natural that Viscount Grey should
have been present at the launching of
his boom, sAld Congressman Kltchln,
Democrat, of North Carolina, when
asked today for his opinion on Mr.
Hoover's candidacy, and the participa
tion of a foreign diplomat in the se
lection of a candidate for President
of the tJnlted States.
"A candidate on which ticket, and
by which party?" the former Demo
cratic leader in the House asked
when the presence of Viscount Grey
at the dinner when the Hoover boom
was launched was called to his at
tention.
"Mr. Hoovar Is a fine gentleman,
but Mr. Barnes, of the Grain Corpora
tion, says he is a Progressive Re
publican. I understand he would
would make a good candidate for an
Independent party?or a know-noth
ing party. But he would certainly be
a suicidal candidate for the Demo
cratic party.
"Who knows how he stands on a
single public question before the
American people? He hasn't said, and
nobody has said for him. He has
never been a Democrat in his life and
has never voted but one time for a
Democrat, I understand.
"Mr. Hoover has not lived In the
United States long enough to know
its people, or to sympathize with their
aspirations. ?
"He Is more English than Ameri
can. ?
"While I have seen a lot about his
candidacy In the newspapers, I have
never seen but one man who favors
him for the Presidency. That man.
a stranger, came into my office a
few days ago and began to talk about
Mr Hoover as the Democratic can
didate. He was very enthusiastic
over him, and became very indignant
because I did not agree with him.
"Two minutes after this man left
my office, some gentlemen from St.
Elisabeth's Hospital for the Insane
came In and asked If I had seen a
man whose description fitted my call
er. They said he had escaped, and 1
understand they caught him about
five minutes later and took him back."
Daabta Grey Waa There.
"What do you think of the par
ticipation of Viscount Grey, the Brit
ish diplomat, In the conference at
Colonel House's home, at which the
Hoover boom was launched T' Mr.
Kltchln was asked.
"I am very doubtful If that story
Is true," he replied, "but If It Is, It Is
very natural that Viscount Grey
Should have been there."
The former Democratic leader added
that "the very fact that the New
Tork World la for Mr. Hoover Is evi
dence that he cannot be a good Demo
erat."
Congressman Davey, Dejnocrat, of
Ohio, said:
"Mr. Hoover Is undoubtedly a great
exertillv* ar.d courageous man, but 1
doubt If he would bf a logical candi
date of the Democratic party In any
? vent. However, If the story Is trui
about tha participation ? of Viscount
Grey In the plan to put over his nomi
nation, that would render such an un
dertaking nttarly foolish and Impossi
ble "
Maay ttW leading F issm sli la

statement for publication at thU Unv-.

Orey's connection with Mr. Hoover*

smiles to the faces of the committee.
In Justification of this letter Dr.
Van Schalck said
"I've been living In a region where
men are used to a rougher language
than Is permitted here. In Belgium
I found that the eternal use of 'damn'
and 'hat*.' barred here, enable me to
get o?s* tight places.
"I navV Intended to characterlxe
the cot??t?a people of Washington In
that way. I have the greatest ad

statement I made was not Intended
