DEMONSTRATION
FOR ROOSEVELT
IS EXPECTED,
HUGHES Strength.
MAIN SUBJECT
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, June 6.-Poiitical lead
ers are trying to determine whether
Hughes has been strengthened or
weakened by the temporary concen-
tration of forces upon him with the
avowed purpose of eliminating
Roosevelt. The effect Of the drive is
to place the field against Hughes.
Republican and Progressive leaders
resumed their conference this morn
ing.
George w. Perkins. in a statement,
declared that Roosevelt has not said
he would not support Hughes or any
other man. The latest elements con-
sidered were Hughes speech at
Washington yesterday. and the dis
cussion of Lodge as a compromise
candidate. Hughes supporters claim
his speech touching on Americanism
cleared the only question that he had
not previously declared himself on
Ahto OBpOhChto ltbb vi
platitudes." many saying he is care
full as the time comes due. Practical
politicians are almost unanimous in
holding that the speech is without
Significance. What Progressives will
do tomorrow overshadowed the Re-
publican maneuvering.
A tremendous Roosevelt demon
stration is expected despite the eff
forts to delay the nomination, Lead.
ers decided last night that Roose-
velt should be nominated as soon as
possible, nothing but a. request from
the Colonel being allowed to inter-
fere. The Progressive headquarters

ST. AUGUSTINE MAN
FOUND DEAD In SAND

st. Augustine, June 6.-Lying
with his face buried In the oyster
bank at point short distance
south of the Arsenal dock, Thomas
Bowen was found about 1880
o'clock Saturday morning by Elmer
Johnson, a white boy, and Joe Grant,
colored man.
They notified Coroner Mackey and
the sheriff's office of their gruesome
discovery. Judge iMackey and Deputy
Sheriff Perry hastened to the Arsenal
dock and found the body as had been
described, the tide water just reach
ing it. The body was brought to
the dock where 1t was examined to
determine the cause of death. The
examination revealed no marks other
than the wounds inflicted by the oys-
ter shells.
Mr.. Bowen had been Ill for several
months and for the past week acted
as IL his mind was giving way under
the long strain. He was a member
of the Eagles and was living at the
home of that oranization on Hospi-
tai street. For several days he had
locked himself in his room and re-
fused to come out to see anyone. He
was last seen alive on Thursday,
and the suppositlon was that he was
still in his room. He probably left
his room that morning and wandered
down to one of the docks. AS he was
very weak, and suffered from dizzi-
ness he probably fell overheard from
one of the docks. He had not been in
the water very long when his body
was discovered, for his watch was
still running, and at the correct
time, when it was taken from his
pocket at 1905 o'clock.
Mr. Bowen had resided in st. Au-
gustine many years, coming here
from Baltimore. He was a relative
