Fools Washington Scribes.

Washington, June 12.-Charles E. Hughes, the republican presidential nominee, went to New York early today to begin his campaign for the presidency He was to meet repub- ncan leaders returning from Chicago and hold conferences with many of them, including Frank H. Hitchcock, leader of the Hughes boom in Chica- go; Frederick c. Tanner, chairman of the New York state republican com mittee; Gov. Whitman and others, The time of his stay has not been definitely stated, but it probably will be short. MT. Hughes will return in time for the preparedness parade here on Wednesday.
 The candidate kept his plans for the trip secret and a score of news paper men who had arranged to accompany him awoke today to find him gone. They had been told at midnight that the justice was retiring and given to understand that he probably would start for New York at 10 o'clock this morning.
 MT. Hughes is anxious to get into the fight actively his friends say. He has been out of intimate touch with politics so long, however. he wants to get information and guidance from close friends in New York.
 The new presidential candidate was the object of much interest in Wash ington yesterday Many persons drove past his residence in hope of getting a glimpse of the former justice and so many moving picture men swarm ed about him on his way to church that the Hughes family was late to services.

Record Crowd Anticipated.

Record Crowd Ant1c1pated.
 Early trains brought scores of del- egates and visitors to St. Louis today and National Chairman McCombs said there was every indication that large crowds would attend the convention. ''This is a remarkable tribute to Pres ident Wilson and the party" said MT. McCombs, when one considers that the convention lacks the alluring fea- ture of an exciting contest over the head of the ticket"
 The convention hall is rapidly taking form and the national committee says 1t will be ready in ample time. St.. Louis hung out bunting and flags in profusion today and decorations ap- peared everywhere in honor of the convention.
 Mrs Florence Updegraff, the suffra- gist leader of New York, believes that the "golden lane,'' in which several thousand women dressed in white with yellow sashes and carrying vel low parasols will stand in silence on both sides of the main street through which the delegates will pass on way to convention is going to be an effective argument for suffrage. This silent plea of the "golden 1ane', Mrs. Upde- graff says, is to be in direct contrast with the women's campaign at other conventions, where oratory was relied upon to make their points.

CONN. DELEGATES
 ARE BACK AGAIN
(Continued From. First Page).

for another bite of pie. But this is not a thesis on the political situation. It is supposed to be on account of the homecoming of Connecticuts four teen delegates to the republican na- tional convention. They are here, safe and sound, and all ready to sprout whiskers according. to the cut and pattern of the Hughes design. From now on their labors will be needed, if Woodrow Wilson is to be thrust out of the White House into some other job. For, notwithstanding the so- called weak and vacillating'' policy of the present administration all those nine hundred and more delegates who voted for Hughes realize that it is going to be tough task to defeat the present president, and that "Any- thing to Beat Wilson, is a poor cam paign slogan.
