Talk of Hughes.

An indefinite rumor, which could not
be confirmed in any direction. biIt
which was none the less persistent. pre-
vailed today, to the effect that Governor
Hughes would not permit his name TO
go before the convention. This rumor.
coupled with an Associated Press dis
patch from New York, in which Tim
othy L. Woodruff, chairman Of the
New York state central committee. ex-
pressed himself as believing that his
state is entitled to the second place, led
TO much discussion as TO whether or
not the governor of New York could
not be induced to accept the vice pres
idential nomination. The entire story.
however, was indefinite and could not
be substantiated in any way.

The Vice Presidency.

There was a sudden censatiOn of ae-
tVity today regarding the vice presi-
Dental situation. This was largely due
to the announcement made by Frank II .
Hitchcock that the Taft forces would
not take part in any campaign for the
second place on the ticket
The leaders of the "allies" adopted
the attitude that it had been custom
airy for the party not to consider the
vice presidency until after the first
place on the ticket had been filled. and
that there was no present reason to de-
part from this precedent. What dis
cussiOn was heard centered largely
about Senator DOlliver of Iowa and
Secretary COrtelyou. Lafayette Young.
one of the delegates at large from
Iowa, said today that the friends Of
Senator Dolliver in his own state were
not anxious TO see him leave the ranks
of the senators for the purpose of pre-
siding over the senate. He said fur
Their that he had received promises
from some of the energetic friends of
the senator outside of Iowa to cease ag-
itating his name as a candidate The
friends Of Governor Guild seemed to-
day satisfied with the results of their
work thus far. and no announcement
was forthcoming from the headuuar-
tiers established yesterday for John
Hays Hammond
