RUMOR OF HUGHES
CAMPAIGN FALSE
Friend Says Justice Rejects Even
Mention of Nomination for
Presidency.

Headquarters to boom Justice Charles
+. Hughes, Of the United States Su-
preme Court, for the Republican NOM
nation for the Presidency, are not to
be opened in the Hotel McAlpn, as
was reported yesterday. The publica-
ton Of the story served 20 bring out
however, the fact that an intimate
friend of Justice Hughes had 4 long
talk with him on the subject not later
than two weeks ago. He tried to show
the former Governor of this state that
it was his duty 10 become candidate
for the nomination. but he found him
firmly set in his determination not to
allow his name to be used in that con-
nection.
This man declared that the biggest
mistake friends of Hughes could make
would be to start a public effort to
create sentiment in his favor. Any
thing Of that kind would receive the
prompt disapproval of the Justice and
make frmer his decision. He thinks
that possibly a concerted effort on the
part of the most prominent men in the
Republican party 70 convince Justice
Hughes that 1t is his duty TO run might
have some effect, but is doubtful of the
efficacy even of such a course.
The only real hope the Hughes sup
porters have of his nomination is TO
have it come as a compromise out OF
a deadlock
Henry Birrell, Of the Irving Press,
who is active in the Republican Club,
was the man reported to be arranging
for the mythical Hughes headquarters.
at is absolutely false" said Mr.. Bir-
rell. when his attention was called to
the story last night. II have never
had any thoughts of opening Hughes
headquarters. 1t is too early for such
work anyway"
Mr.. Birrell thought possibly the story
started from the fact that the Pan
American States Association. a COM
mercial enterprise of which he is presi-
dent. has half floor in the McAlpln
Hotel.

Assurance of Benevolent
Neutrality.
HALF OF BUKOWINA

Try C,ble 10 Tho Tribune ]

Bucharest. July -. The Austro-
Hungarian Minister presented to the
Prime Minister on Wednesday last pro-
posals Offering certain concessions to
Rumania in exchange for facilities for
supplying Turkey with munitions OF
war and an assurance Of her definite
neutrality. The offer is made to cede TO
Rumania part Of Bukowina as far
north a. Scrcth, with an undertaking at
the same time 10 amcllorate Austro-
Hungarian treatment Of Rumanians IN
the monarchy. 4 university is promised
to Brashow, a large admission Of Ru-
manians in Hungary viii be admitted
10 the public service and greater lIper-
tv Of administration will be granted TO
Rumanian churches in the dual mon
archy.
An alternative roposal affects the
entry of Rumania into the field OF ac-
ton on the side Of the Teu,onic powers.
In this event the coded territory would
be extended TO CzernowitZ. and the line
of the Pruth and the frontier on the
Danube would be extended beyond the
Iron Gate and include Mehadia.
The undertaking mentioned above
with regard 20 the situation of Ru-
manians in Hungary would, of course,
also apply. hut with the addition of al
lowing complete autonomy to Transyl-
vania. There is also an undertaking
that Austro- German armies would oc-
cupy Bessarabia and hand it over i'm
mediately to Rumania. Germany guar
antees the execution Of these proposals.
A significant point is that there. IS
fixed the term Of one month within
which either of the alternative arrange
ments must be agreed to; that is to say
exactly the time the Germans hope the
Turks will be able TO hold out in the
Dardanelles. The proposals are being
considered by the King and the Prime
Minister. In political circles they are
regarded as a man9uvre designed to
delay diplomatic action in Rumania.

BY GEORGE RENwICK.

Lcmnos, July II dispatch to "The
London Daily Chronicle") The heavi-
est lighting which has taken place on
Gallipol Peninsula since the allied
forces landed there began late on Tues
day and lasted well into Wednesday.
It resulted in swing forward Of the
southern line Of the allied armies for
five furlongs and in the infection Of
staggering losses on the enemy. Those
who were in the battle place the Turco-
German casualties at 1000 killed and
from $4,000 to $4,000 wounded. Many
prisoners were taken.
The whole army in the southern part
OF the peninsula was engaged, and the
Australians and New Zealanders fur
tier north also played a part The
victory marks a definite stage in the
initial work Of throwing forces around
Achi Baba, which may now be de-
soribed as one Of the strongest fort
rCsses in the world.
The Allies had been resting in com
parative tranquility and the Turks
had evidently become persuaded the
enemy was experiencing a shortage OF
ammunition. This belief convinced
them of the excellent opportunity Of
driving the invaders into the sea. Late
Tuesday night the first signs OF the
cncmy's movement were detected. No
time was lost in flashing a warnln1
message to headquarters. The French
we're soon alert and the artillery at
that portion of the line against which
the attack was being prepared was
quickly and strongly reinforced.
Build Wall of Artillery.
French and British machine guns
were rushed to the front until a per-
feet wall of heavy and light guns vas
in position. Then there came short
interval of silence and waiting, al
most oppressive. Suddenly the still
rcss was broken by tremendous burst
Of shells from the Turkish gIns, and
for d time shrapnel poured down on
tie French front But the men were
safely positioned in duCouts and little
less resulted. From the strait loud
booming began. The battered Goeben
was at work again, and during the bonn
lardment she pounded our right with
scme forty 11-inch shells Many did
not burst-they were apparently OF
Turkish manufacture.
This hail Of shells lasted just an
hour and a half and was the severest
bombardment TO which our lines have
been subjected during the weeks OF
struggle on the peninsula. No sooner
had the heavy fire ceased than great
solid masses Of Turks leaped forward
to the attack On they came, the
silence unbroken save for their shouts,
until they reached a point within sixty
, or seventy yards of the French posi-
ton. Then from 200 we'll placed ma
chine guns a devastating answering fire
burst from our allies trenches, and the
rifles Joined in, 10000 Of them: The
big guns fared and cast lurid light
over the scene.
Meet Wire Entanglements.
With fine bravery the enemy came
on, not hesitating before this inferno
of death. Terribly mutilated, the

German Threats
Aimed at Rumania

London, July l2.-An agency dispatch
from Berlin quotes what is described
as thinly yelled threat at Rumania
contained in an article in the semi of
fetal "Frankfurter Zeitung," which,
under the heading "Rumania's Hour of
Fate" charges that country with hold
ing up war material en- route from Ger
many to Turkey.
The "Frankfurter Zeitung" proceeds
to argue that Rumania has interpreted
her duties regarding neutrality in a
way directly injurious to Turkey, the
ally of the central powers, and con-
cludes:
Germany and Austria Hungary are
now free to decide whether they Will or
will not consider themselves bound by
their agreement with Rumania. Their
interests in the continued independence
of Rumania still exist, but we can con-
ceive a case arising. perhaps III the
coming peace negotiations, when this
interest, in support Of which no obliga-
ton any longer exists, must take rank
behind the more important interests Of
the central powers themselves"
