ceived msleaders who had been unable

Mr. Hitchcock, it Is understood. told the
President that from all he had been able
10 gather there was as much sentiment
against Hughes as there was for him.
The diversity of opinion among the coun-
y leaders as to whethe~ Gov. Hughes

uonal ticket. Mr.. Hitchcock informed the
President. was about equally divided.

The result Of the conference is that

policy until a clearer line can be marked
cut on the advisability OF openly urging
the denomination Of Gov. Hughes.
There is no intention on the part OF
Mr. Hitchcock 10 interfere in the Repub-

tonal disputes are concerned. He admits
frankly that as chairman OF the national
committee his province is 10 secure the
carrying OF the State for the national

ferring with the State leaders Is 10 in
form himself as 10 whether or not the
