As this unparalleled campaign of 1928 enters its final week, the basic situation favors Herbert Hoover's election, but Governor Smith appears to be gaining strength.

The defeatist atmospnere that earlier surrounded his campaign is speedily disappear, ing. The widest difference of opinion exists with regard to the effect of Mr. Smith a invasion of Pennsylvania The aggressive Democrats, such Chairman Raskob, believe that the Governor has a good chance to win that State a belief much reinforced since the great Republican city of Philadelphia gave Mr. Smith such an extraordinary welcome. A Tremendous Task.

On the other hand, Pennsylvania gave President Coolidge a majority of almost l.OOC.OOO in 1924. To make a gain of 500,000 votes in a State that has not voted for a Democratic candidate for President since the Civil War is a tremendous undertaking, The Republican headquarters In Washington are watching the great Eastern crowds that turn out to greet Governor Smith with intense inter est, although no good Republican will admit for publication that these crowds mean anything. However, the change in Mr. Hoover's plans tells its own story. Hia decision to speak 'at bt.

The decision for Mr.

Hoover to speak at Pueblo, Nov. 3, is due to the need for a direct appeal to the Moun tain tstatfs, which Mr. Hoover has hitherto ignored, but where Governor Smith made two speeches in Septem ber. The declaration of Senator George Norris of Nebraska for the Democratic candidate is responsible for the elimination of that State from Mr. Hoover's itinerary.

It was felt that Mr. Hoover could not speak in Nebraska without confusing and endangering the situation in that State still further. Mrs. Wilson on Platform. The speech tonight, to be delivered in the Fifth Regiment Armory, where Woodrow Wilson was nominated in 1912, will be broadcast over the nation beginning at 9 o'clock Eastern time.

Governor Smith was notified that Mrs. Wilson would be on the platform. In view of the nominee's statement that he intended to employ the final week of the campaign in a summing up of the issues, it was believed that he would devote at hast a part of his single Maryland speech to Prohibition as he did in the big ballot center of Philadelphia.

"Historic Exposition" of nearly five months ago, which has brought the boro organization of Civil War veterans to the brink cf bankruptcy.

Only two men were questioned by the District Attorney today. They era: Amos Hague, past commander and now trustee of the Brooklyn Q. A. who charges that "there is criminal negligence somewhere" in the staging of the exposition, and Major Joseph Caccavajo, who ran the exposition In conjunction with two promoters. Albert Steinberg, one of the two promoters, had been summoned to appear by a letter written to his home at 1529 42d ft, but he did not show up.

District Attorney Dodd said that is was now getting in with Steinberg's attorney, Aaron Kaufman, of 51 Chambers Manhattan, to lind out why the promoter was missing. According to Mr. Hague, Steinberg maintains that at least $15,000 was taken in by the exposition Instead ol the $11,380 which Major Caccavajo nays is the correct sum. On the other hand, Major Caccavajo claims that Steinberg and Harry Berry of 1560 Broadway, Manhattan, the other promoter, ran up a number of bills for which they had no authority. District Attorney Dodd therefore ad journed the investigation today until he can have time to weigh the papers already submitted to him, and until fie can get in touch with SKlnuerg.

SALT CREEK DEAL HELD FRAUD LIKE TEAPOT CONSPIRACY Continued from Page 1. eil was turned over to the Shipping Board at the average price paid in the Ealt Creek field.

Fall Changel Arrangement. Th Shipping Board in turn traded this crude oil for fuel oil at seaboard for use in its merchant ships. It was thus able to reduce materially its Costs of operation. Fall did not think much of this ar. tangement.

He claimed that the Ehipping Board was not paying as much as he could get from private corporations. Of course, it did not really make any riii Terence to the Federal Treasury fthat. the Shipping Board was paying ior the oil, as It waB a matter of tricing out of one Government pectet, the Shipping Board, what it put into the other Government pocket, the Treasury. But Fall didn't like it. Sohesotbusy at once trying to get fid of his arrangement.

Ills attempts were resisted bv the Shipping Board through its chairman, Albert D. Las-Jeer, and its oil exnart. Joseph A. Phelan. President Harding at first backed up the Snipping Board, but finally, under some unexplained pressure from Fall, an-eed to permit the tale of the Salt Creek royalty oil to private corporations.

Oil SltuaUon In 1322. This was the situation In October, 1922, when Fall published his official advertisements for bids on this oil. Seven months before Fall had leased the Teapot Dome reserve to Harry Sin and had received from him $233W9Mn Liberty Bonds soon after the transaction was completed. These bonds were secretly pased to Fall by Sinclair through M. T.

Everhart. They were later discovered to have come from the Continental Trading Company, a fake Canadian corporation, which had been formed by Sinclair, Stewart, Blackmer and O'Nell for the purpose of creatin? a "slush fund" which would be difficult to trace. The Teapot Dome lease was already under fire, the Senate having ordered en inauirv into it on the ground that It had been secretly awarded to Sinclair without competitive bidding, as provided by law. Nobody at that time knew that Fall had received money or bonds from either Sinclair or Doheny. The Senate merely knew the transaction was irregular and had resolved to look into its legality.

Makes Everything "Regular." So Fall In preparing for this new deal determined to have everything look reKular, on the surface at least He, therefore, advertised in the oil Journals for bids for the Government's royalty oil from the Salt Creek field. This advertisement specifically filled for "sealed bids to be submitted ti his oflice, Interior Building, Washington, D. prior to noc.n of Nov. 15, 1822." This seemed to give everybody a fair chance and to comply fully with the law providing for competitive bidding. But let us see what was happening behind the scenes.

Whenever Fall had a big deal to pull off which required secrecy, he went to his ranch at Three Rivers, N. a hundred miles from nowhere. Here we find him in the early part of November, 1022. Soon there are visitors three of them. They are well known now.

but then their names meant nothing outside the oil industry. They were Sinclair, Stewart and Blackmer. Stewart and Blackmer came together and left before Sinclair did. Whether the three oil kings who played such a large part in the Teapot Dome conspiracy were all there at the same time is not clear. Stewart says they were not, but the following hitherto unpublished telegrams show conclusively that they were there within 24 hours of each other.

The campaign literature Alien "begged to submit" to his inquisitors included a book, "Al Smith's Tammany a pamphlet, "Smith and Hoover Boyhoods," and a number of postcard bulletins issued by his Institute. Allen's list of questions opened tha way for a reiteration of his sweeping graft claims, with added allejatloni that fears of reprisals, increased assessments, police "frameups" and other sources of embarrassment deter citizen who know of alleged graft from making complaints.

By asking himself what kind of graft evidence he had to offer Allen got his examination of himself under way by stating that he could produce direct testimony, "circumstantial evidence which can by inquiries be quickly turned into direct evidence of crime," and the names of persons possessing "convincing circumstantial evidence," Sees Charity Bureau Perils.

I will wire you. F. SINCLAIR." Important Fact in Revelation. It is a matter of no consequence or whether they arranged to leave a' an of 24 hours between the depart. ure of Stewart and Blackmer and the arrival of Sinclair.

The important tact is that while the legitimate bidders were filing their sealed bids at the Interior Department in Washington, these three conspirators were secretly meeting with Fall at his New Mexico ranch and arranging to file their bids after the others were all in on terms privately agreed to at these New Mexico conferences. This fact in itself Is enough to invalidate the contract. That no bids had been filed either by Sinclair or by Blackmer com' nanv. the Midwest, prior to the offt cial filing time of noon of Nov. 15 is shown by the following telegram which Fall filed at Three Rivers at 3:30 n.m.

Sinclair himself has admitted tha1 his bid was not filed until late in the afternoon of the closing day, and then was sent by telegram (later confirmed by letter) after he had left Fall's ranch. There were further Irregularities.

Although the Sinclair bid was filed in the name of the Mammoth OU Company, Fall permitted the substitution of the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Company, which, as we have seen, was jointly owned by Sinclair and Stewart's company, the Standard Oil of Indiana, This contract was written to run five years from Jan. 1, 1923, with an option for the biddtr to renew at the same price for another five-year period. This option clause, which was not in conformity with the terms advertised, provides the ground upon which the Attorney General has just declared the entire transaction void. Basis for Damage Suit. The newly discovered evidence of conspiracy, secret conferences, and violation of the filing time, set forth above, constitutes new and substantial grounds for -jancellation and for a civil suit to recover damages for the Government.

We come now to even stronger reason for such action. That is, the circumstantial evidence that Fall received $33,000 in cash in connection with this transaction. It has been known for nearly a year that Sinclair transmitted to Fail through his son-in-law, T. Everhart, the sum of 110,000 In cash while Sinclair was visiting the New Mexico ranch, in November, 1922, and another $25,000 in cash which was paid over at the Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, in January, 1923. Everhart so testified as soon as he was given personal immunity.

But the significance of the dates cf these payments was not appreciated until this newly discovered evidence regarding the private conferences on the Suit Creek royalty oil deal came presented to members of the ere son of the Zeppelin's commande to America.
