HUGHES IS ENDORSED
New York Republicans Pledge
Support to Governor.
TACK ON ROOSEVELT "RIDER"

Nomination or Directs Withdrawal Of
His Name From the Convention.

New York, Jan. 30.-With strong

pying first place resolution indors.
ing Governor Charles e. Hughes for
president and pledging the local ma,
chine to support him until he is ell
drawal Of his name from the conven'
ton" was unanimously passed by the
Republican county committee at a
special meeting at Murray Hill lyceum
The original Hughes resolution
which Herbert Parsons and the fed
eral officeholders have kept on cold
storage since December was ignored
and the one that was passed was
framed by committee of three ap.
pointed by Parsons.
The sincerity of Mr. Parsons and his
friends was openly attacked by speak.
ers of the original Hughes faction
There was reference to the leash
which had at last been cut" There
were threats that none of the "trai-
tors" would be sent to the Chicago con-
vention for fear they might be weaned
by candidate from Ohio.
That the Hughes delegation, led by
Harry w. Mack and Senator Page,
considered the victory theirs was strik-
ingly expressed by Abraham Gruber,
who began his speech to the conven-
ton, looking directly at President
Parsons, with:
This is not the first time in the his
tory of the world that man has been
forced to marry the girl"
Edward Lauterbach declared that
the Parsons change of front was en-
tirely due to a fear that his 'procrasti-
mating deceit" would be properly pun
ished at the March primaries. The
tongue lashing was continued by
James S. Lehmaier, chairman of the
committee Of twenty-five of the Re-
publican club, and by William Halpin
of the Odell faction.
The resolutions, which were finally
adopted as substitute for resolu-
ton introduced five weeks ago by
Harry w. Mack and which has since
laid on the table despite all efforts to
bring it to vote, were introduced by
Josiah T. Newcomb, former assembly
man from the Twenty-third assembly

JEROME IS UP
He First Makes Apology II at
Any Time He Lacked Dignity
During The Trial
THE JUDGES CHARGE

New York, Jan. 30.-There was
another great crush at the criminal
courts building to-day to hear Dis
trict Attorney Jerome make the clos
ing address for the people in the
ThaW case. When the doors were
opened the court chamber was found
to be already filled with specially
privileged spectators, some of whom
had made their way through the
Tombs prison over the Bridge of
Signs and through the carefully
guarded passageway used for prison
ers. Justice Bowling was late in
getting down town and it was some
time after the hour set for converting
when he took his place on the bench.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and Josiah
ThaW were the only members of the
defendants family present when Mr.
Jerome began his argument at Il a.
m. He declared the case had been
handled by him with some difficulty
as he had had many other matters of
Importance to attend to at the same
time.
IF | have at any time lacked in
the dignity that attaches to my Of
flee" continued the prosecutor, "if at
any time | have shown any asperity
or lack Of consideration | can only
say now that | regret it, Any per-
sonal impression | have made or I
have not made should have no part
whatever in your verdict. You are
trVinu tha dictrinf OF
sneers he may have made
is n OF evidence for the peo-
pie and neither are they any
evidence that Harry X. Thaw was in
sane when he killed Stanford White.
AS to the women, if my manner was
one of disapprobation, that is not evil
dence. Neither l nor the woman is
being tried here. Harry Thaw is on
trial for the murder of Stanford White
and the defense is that he was insane
on the night of June %, 1905, that he
was not generally insane, or is insane
now. All you have to deal with is,
all | have to deal with, is whether or
not at particular time and place this
defendant was insane-whether, when
he shot and killed Stanford White,
he knew that the act was wrong and
against the law of the land.
After speaking little more than
two hours District Attorney Jerome
asked for recess. Justice Bowling
announced that having in view the
comfort of the jurors, who would be
kept in the jury room until the verdict
was announced, he would not charge
them as to the law until tomorrow

Omaha, Neb., July 29.-Victor Rosewater, republican national com mtteeman for Nebraska and proprie- tor of the Omaha Bee, to-day pub lished an open letter to William J. Bryan asking him to dlsapprove an attempt that was recently made to file the names of the democratic pres idential electors from this state, under the head of Peoples Independents. :" MT. Rosewater recently filed protest in the case with the secretary of state. This matter is an outcome of the bolt of the Nebraska delegation, headed by Thomas H. Tibbles, from the St. Louis convention of the peoples party which nominated Thomas E. Watson for president.
 Mir Rosewater first refers to Mr. Bryans speech last February before the Civic Forum of New York, on the subject Thou shalt not steal" and In which MT. Bryan divided theft into larceny in violation of law and larceny through operation of law
 T ask you, MT. Bryan" writes Mir. Rosewater, If the larceny of some- thing more priceless than property, namely, the ,unpurchasabe votes of the people, is not equally reprefensi- ble whether the theft is committee in violation of law or under cover of local technicalities?"
