egrani while the arrival OF the
advance guards gives the hotel lobbics
a distinctly convention aspect, there
are comparatively few delegates as
yet in Chicago and those few for the
most part the ones whose esats are
contested. AS a consequence the big
noise consists almost wholly Of the
talk launched by the campaign man
ayers and their assistants specially de-
signed to build up their particular ia
vorite and break down the opposition.
Brushing aside these made-to-order
claims the political topography as

lions only il these two are out OF the

Method in Attacks.
There is more method than mad
ness, therefore, in the concentrated
effort to hammer and pick at Hughes,
because, TO the combination OF Of ia
yorite sons, Hughes is by far the most
dreaded obstacle in their path. So all
their ammunition is being shot at him
and the Hughes boosters, which ex-
plans the attacks on former National
Chairman Frank II. Hitchcock, who
is guiding the Hughes movement
Although ayowedly with no direct
sanction from Justice Hughes but
solely from a conviction that the nom
nation OF Hughes offers the best way
of uniting the republican elements for
a winning campaign against Wilson
and the democrats, il also explains the
adroit maneuvers in the same quarter
to get Roosevelt to play his battering-
ram against Hughes in the belief that
Roosevelt himself could not be the
beneficiary and with both side-tracked

out.

had a talk with him this noon. He
has no illusions. He knows it is real
fight, but he hopes to be the residuary
legatee of any breakup in the instruct
ed delegations.
Senator Kenyon coming in from
Washington stopped over on his way
home, but is not specially jubilant
over the outlook for Cummins whose
campaign he has been directing. He
realizes that those who will vote for
Cummins at the start have different
personal preferences and that it is a
serious question whether they can be
held for more than one or two ballots.
Hall Almost Ready.

which is almost ready for the decora-
tions. The seating arrangements are
very similar to four years ago except
the enlargement of the gallery box
