WASHINGTON. June 9.--Indications
multiply that Secretary Cortelyou will
be advanced by Roosevelt and Tsft
forces at Chicago as their candidate
for vice president.
Secretary Cortelyou himself declined
to discuss the matter of his candidacy,
for the reason that his native state
already has in the field the possible
candidate for presidency In the per.
son OF Governor Hughes. That fact
has 30 far operated to prevent any
open exchange between affairs OF Sac
retary Cortelyou and Secretary Taft's
managers. But II can now be stated
that In the opinion OF his friends the
time has come when Secretary Cor.
telyou should be placed In position TO
be recognized as New York's candi.
didate for the vice precidency In the
event Of the elimination of Hughes
from the presidential race.
