: New York. Jan. Ex-Governor Charles
f. Hughes was strongly endorsed for
the Republican nomination for the pres
idency and the administration of Pres
ident Roosevelt was commended in a
resolution unanimously adopted by the
Republican county committee at
meeting in Murray Hill Lyceum to-
night. The resolution favored an in
structed delegation to the Chicago con-
VentiOn from this state for Governor
Hughes, which shall use all honorable
means TO obtain his nomination till he
is either nominated or directs the
withdrawal Of his name from the con-
sideration of the convention"
Endorsement of Governor Hughes
had come up for consideration at two
previous meetings of the county COM
mittee, and each time resolutions to
that effect were tabled The action of
the committee on those occasions was
provocative of much feeling among
committeeman, and Secretary of War
Taft recently wrote to Congressman
that he did not desire his friends to di-
vide in his interest any state which had
candidate OF its own, and that he
would greatly deprecate a contest which
lmperils a Republican victory in New
York in November
Resolution Drafted.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the county committee was held
today. at which Mr. Parsons appointed
a committee TO draft a resolution as a
substitute to the resolution twice Of
Tered to the county committees, simply
endorsing Governor Hughes. Tonight
the substitute resolution was offered.
1t is as follows:
Resolved. That we do hereby en-
dorse the national administration of the
Republican party. We believe that The
odore Roosevelt, by his vigorous admin
istration, his virility, his broad human
ity and his determined opposition to
notorious abuses has won the hearts
of the people; and that we do not only
have his example, but we also know
that he is and has been in cordial SYM
pathy with every effort for efficient adj
ministratiOn, for the correction of evil
and for the improvement of our laws;
Resolved, That Charles F. Hughes
has displayed, during his incum bency
of the office of governor Of the state of
New York, a degree of executive and
administrative ability, courage and de-
Votion to duty which has secured for
him the confidence and admiration not
only of the citizens of the state of New
York. but of the people of the United
States.
Hughes for President.
Resolved, That it IS the judgment of
the Republican county committee of the
county of New York that Republicans
generally throughout the country desire
presentation of the name of Charles +.
Hughes to the next Rational convention
of the Republican party as the choice
of the Republicans of this state for the
presidential nomination; that we hereby
announce our intention that so far as
We collectively and individually are
able, the state of New York shall send
a delegation to the national convention
instructed TO vote for and to use all
honorable means TO secure for Charles
z. Hughes the nomination for the pres
idency, until he is either nominated or
directs the withdrawal of his name
from the consideration of the cOnVen-
ton, and that we hereby individually
pledge ourselves TO do all i'm our power
10 secure from our congressional dis
trict conventions and the state con-
vention the adoption of resolutions so
instructing for Governor Hughes"
Traces of Resentment.
The speeches that followed the intro
duction of the resolution showed unan-
unity of feeling for endorsement of
Governor Hughes but indicated traces
of resentment over the action of the
previous meeting in tabling the Hughes
resolution. Edward Lauterbach. who
has been actively engaged in Governor
Hughes interest, said:
Leaders all over the state have re-
ported that the sentiment has been fOr
Charles E. Hughes for president. Why
is this change of front? The reason is
simple-rhe leash has been cut and the
dogs have been set free.
WHO set them free? Who has per
mitted the president of this committee
TO shake of the shackIes and come for
ward as a free man? Was it any one in
the state OF New York? No; il was a
man from Ohio. Other states had
named as their candidates Cannon and
Foraker, and then the ticket of leave
was given.
II cali upon the people of the city
and this state 10 see that If the resOlu-
zion is passed tonight it viii be carried
10 a successful result in the Chicago
convention.
Opposition was made TO the roll being
called, but the chairman prevailed.
Many left the hall when 1T was seen
what the result of the roll call would be.
After the roll call was completed the
chairman declared the vote was unani-
nous for the resolution, and the meet
ing adjourned.
