WASHINGTON. June e.-Indications are
multiplying that Secretary Cortelyou win
be advanced by the Roosevelt and Taft
forces at Chicago as their candidate for
vice president. Secretary Cortelyou him
self naturally declines to discuss the mat
ter of his candidacy. for the reason that
his native state already has in the field

the person OF Governor Hughes. That fact
has so far operated TO prevent any open
exchange Between the friends OF Secretary
Cortelyou and Secretary Tsft's managers.
But. It can now be stated as a fact that
In the opinion Of his friends the time has
come when Secretary Cortelyou should be
placed in a position to be recognized as
New York's candidate for the vice presi-
dency in the event OF the elimination of
Hughes from the presidential race.
As a necessary step to a successful cam
paign in that direction there had first to
be ascertained the attitude that President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft would as
sumo toward Secretary Cortelyou's candl-
dacy. The secretary himself has declined
to make any move In the matter, but his
friends have not felt restrained by that
fact and already they feel that they rave

now preparing to move in force upon the

son for their confidence is asserted to be
