Hughes Not to Accept
Vice Presidency
Ii Is Believed, However, That He
Will NOT Refuse First Place
on Ticket
Special BY Leased Wne TO The Call

Special by Leased w ire to he Call
WASHINGTON. OF. Governor
Hughes of New York, according to re-
liable reports which have reached
Washington. has announced to close
friends that he would not again be a
candidate for governor of New York
and would not accept nomination for
vice president from the republican ma
tional convention. He is declared to
have said that he was interested prin-
cipally in his work as governor of New
York and next in Importance was his
law practice
1t is understood that no mention was
made by him of the presidency, but
word recently has peen conveyed to
President Roosevelt by highly infuen-
tial persons of the state that it would
be foolish to presume that Governor
Hughes would not take this nomina-
tion if it were rendered him.
James X. Jones, chairman of the
democratic national committee during
both the Bryan campaigns, was evasive
when asked today If he had advised
Bryan not to be candidate for the
presidency next year. He said his ad-
vice had not been asked on this sub
ject and he could not remember in his
,yoluminous correspondence with Bryan
of ever having uttered such senti-
ment. 1t is understood that Jones feels
that Bryan can well wait further de-
velopments in the democratic situation
before committing himself, and that he
believes Bryan himself has not made
up his mind on the subject yet.
