NEW YORK. January Ex-Governor
Charles E. Hughes was strongly in
dorsed for the republican nomination.
I for the presidency and the administra-
ton of President Roosevelt was COM
mended in a resolution unanimously
adopted by the republican county COM
| mittee at a meeting in Murray Hill "
ceum tonight. The resolution favored
an instructed delegation to the Chi
cago convention from this state for
Governor Hughes, which shall use all
| honorable means to obtain his nominal

reefs the withdrawal of his name from
| the consideration of the convention
Endorsement of Governor Hughes had
come up for consideration at two pre-
yious meetings of the county commit
tee, and each time resolutions to that
effect were tabled. The action of the
committee on those occasions was pro-
vocatiYe of much feeling among COM
mitteemen, and Secretary of War Taft
recently wrote to Congressman Par
sons, chairman of the committee, that
he did not desire his friends to dividA
his interests in any state which had a
candidate of its own, and that he
would greatly deprecate a contest
which imperils republican victory in
New York in November"

tee of the county committee was held
today, at which Parsons appointed a
committee to draft resolution as
substitute to the resolution which Of
fered to the county committees, simply

every effort for efficient administration,
for the correction of evil and for the
Improvement of our laws.
Resolved, that Charles e. Hughes has
displayed, during his incumbency of the .
office of governor of the state of New

ministrative ability, courage and devot-
ion to duty which has secured for him

OF the citizens of the state of New York
but of the people of the United States.

OF the republican country committee
OF the county of New York thatre-
publlcans generally thOughtout the
