Philadelphia. Jan. '2s.-That Col.

10 bring about his nomination for the
presidency is the opinion of John H.
Nugent. president of the League of
republican workers of this city, who
returned today from New York after
having visited Mr.. Roosevelt in the
olf1ces of the Outlook. He did not tell
Mr.. Nugent that he would be a cam
didate, but the latter was cordially re-
celved, and his mission was to tell the
former president about conditions in
this city and state.
Il was with Mr.. Roosevelt for a
half hour" said Mr.. Nugent today
and when left him he patted me on
the back and told me to keen un tho
good work."
Was it your impression that he
will be candidate?'
Il cannot answer that. but I will
say that he listened to me attentive.

view he acted as you or I would act

Il talked with Colonel Roosevelt on
the subject of his. proposed canoi.
dacy and the advisability of an open
declaration from him, but at the con.
clusion I left with the impression that
in the near future he would take the
public into his confidence and openly
declare his intentions.
Hughes Name Mentioned.
II told him that his fight in Phila-
delphia was in the hands of able rep.
resentatives from nearly all the wards
of the city.
Il also met a prominent man in
New York who is one of the leaders
was enthusiastic over the outlook, al
though he was not certain that the
colonel would be candidate, adding
that in case he declined to be con-
sidered Mr.. Roosevelt probably would
advocate the nomination Of a man of
the type of Supreme Court Justice
Charles r. Hughes
Mr.. Nugent said he was more than
pleased with conditions in this city.
II have talked with probably sew
enty-five prominent manufacturers
and business men on the subject, and
found only one who is opposed to
