HUGHES TO BE NAMED
STATE LEADERS AGREE.
Sherman Says Oyster Bay Confer
ence Thought the Same.

Governor Hughes will be renominated- This
is the word that being passed around
quietly among the state leaders yesterday. ror
publication the declaration is made that no
final decision has been reached; but the lead
ers, or most of them, have reached the de-
cision that public sentiment demands the re-
nomination of the Governor and that in no other
way can a solution of the problem be found
No official announcement of the determine
ton to renominate the Governor will be made
until after the county primaries next week. and
the city primaries on September 8; and even
then the leaders who have opposed the Governor
may try to relieve themselves of the enbarrass-
ment of reversal of their former position by
acknowledging that the sentiment for the re-
nomination of the Governor seems to be strong,
but that they will adhere to their original dec
laration of having the question settled by the
convention But it will be well understood that
the delegates in the convention will vote for
Governor Hughes.
There was absolutely no doubt left as to the
attitude of the national leaders, and those Of
the state leaders present, at the Oyster Bay
conference on Thursday, when Representative
Sherman said yesterday:
HUGHES ONLY NAMED IN CONFERENCE.
THE consensus of opinion at our conference
with the President was in favor of the renon1i-
nation OF Governor Hughes. No other candi-
date for the nomination seriously consid-
cred. The evidence presented showed an un-
mistakable drift toward the denomination of the
Governor, and the belief of those who discussed
the question was that it would be a decided
mistake not to nominate him
Representative Sherman wanted 1t made
clear however, that 1t would be error to say
that the question was settled at the conference.
He indicated that the reason it was discussed
in national councils at all the bearing it
had on the national campaign.
Frank H. Hitchcock, chairman of the national
committee said that he did not how he
could break his determination not to discuss the
state situation. Referring to what had been said
by Representative Sherman, the national chair
man said he did not see that there any
thing further to say; that the situation had
considerable weight had been lifted from the
mind of the national chairman. and that he felt
sure that the question which threatened the
success of the Republican ticket in this state
had been settled in the right way.
Congressman Parsons president of the New
York County Committee, who was member OF
the conference. which included William L Ward,
of Westchester which held the yacht
coming down from Rye on Thursday night, re-
fused to discuss the situation for publication.
District leaders, however, who were at county
headquarters in great numbers yesterday to
get some line on the exact situation, went away
after talking with President Parsons with the
impression that the Governor would be renomi-

Staqqered Webster,

In the Massachusetts supreme court
many years ago, Daniel Webster ap-
peared as counselor for the appellant.
Mrs. Greenough, wife Of the Rev. Will
Liam Greenough Of West Newton, was
a very self possessed witness. Not
withstanding Mr.. Webster's repeated
efforts to discomfort her she pursued
the even tenor Of her way until Web
ster, becoming quite fearful of the re-
suit, arose, apparently in great agi-
taton, and, drawing out his large
snufbox, thrust his thumb and finger
to the very bottom and, carrying a
deep pinch to both nostrils, drew it up
with gusto, and then, extracting from
his pocket very large handkerchief, he
blew his nose with report that rang
distinct and loud through the crowded
hall.
He then asked, "Mrs. Greenough, was
Mrs. Bodgen neat woman?"
Il cannot give you full information
as to that, sir. She had one very dirty

Why He Concealed His Calling.
II hope" said the young man, that
partial cOncealment of the truth is no
lie. If it is, 1 am telling a whopper
right now, and I'm a divinity student
too. That is what 1 am lying about.
don't tell that l am studying theol-
ogy. If I did l wouldn't find it so
easy to hold this job. I'm one Of the
down-on-his-luck students who has to
work his way through college. One Of
the first things l learned when 1 be-
gan to look for position was that the
average employer Of labor has no use
for the divinity student. Somehow ev-
cry man engaged in business holds the
opinion that a young fellow who is
studying for the ministry lacks back
bone, and he is afraid to trust him
with important duties.
AFTER I had ingenuously explained
my circumstances to about twoscore Of
employers and had been turned down

Ing now. The boss doesn't know I am
pegg1ng away nights on church his
tory. If he did the chances are he'd
discharge me, not because he has any
grudge against parsons or church his
tory, but because he, like everybody
else, would think l hadn't pluck enough
to earn my salary."-New York Times.

DROWNED NEAR NEWPORT
Son of Congressman STEVENSON Of
Minnesota Loses His Life.


Minnesota Loses His Life.
Newport, r. l., Feb. 1 benjamin
STEVENSON, aged twenty-seven, son
of Halvor Stevenson, congressman
from Minnesota, was drowned in Mar
ragansett bay, near here A man
named John Mcintosh, companion of
Stevenson, also was drowned.
Suspicion that there might have
been foul play in connection with the
drowning was removed, so far as the
Newport police were concerned, by
the story told by Captain F. w. Rich
and crew of the tug and the other
men aboard the tug at the time the
marines were drowned. The witnesses
agreed in relating that the marines
were in the pilot house and after a
time Mcintosh said he was going aft
to get something to eat He went
below, but not to the galley end and
was never seen again.
When McIntosh's absence was dis
covered Stevenson hurried all over
the boat in search for him and re-
turned to the pilot house in rather
peculiar mood. According to Captain
Rich and others in the house Steener-
son talked wildly about the loss of his
companion, then took off his coat and
suddenly stepped to the deck and
jumped overheard.

The best known picture In the world,
1t has been said, is Vandyke's portrait
of James II. of England as an infant,
popularity known as Baby Stuart. Two
million copies of 1t are said to be in
American homes, and it is equally
popular in England and continental Eu-
rope. This is not because it Is por-
trait Of child who became king, but
because it is a mastery piece of in

cheeks and tiny nose, surmounted by
a tight fitting cap, appeal to every low
er of children. The figure with which
