No Statement As TO Whether or
Not Decision Is Reached.

New York, Aug 2O.-Contrary to
expectations, no announcement was
made tonight by Frank Hitchcock,
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, as to the sentiment de-
veloped at the Oyster Bay conference
for or against the denomination OF
Gov. Hughes. Mr.. Hitchcock and
James S. Sherman. the Republican
candidate for Vice President, returned
to New York on the yacht of George
]. Smith. the treasurer of the New
York State committee, in the same
manner they were taken to Oyster
Bay in the forenoon Not only did Mr.
Hitchcock fail to give out any state
ment but he went to his apartment
at the Manhattan hotel without see
ing any newspaper men, in spite of
the fact that he indicated at Oyster
Bay that he might have something to
say about New York politics after
the conference with the President had
been concluded.
Regardless of the fact that no state
ment was issued by Mr.. Hitchcock, 1t
was stated here tonight that the SEN
timent voiced at the gathering was
favorable to the denomination of Gov.
Hughes. One athan, who insisted that
his name not be given as authority
for the statement. asserted as much.
He said that it is the belief of the ma
tional campaign managers that no in
reference by them will be necessary
to bring about that result as the trend
in the state now seems to be in the di-
rectiOn of giving second term to the
present governor. The movement of
certain state Republican leaders to de-
feat Gov. Hughes for the nomination
cannot be successful, it was said, un--
less some force. such as President
