HUGHES BOOM
APPEARS real
Sentiment Strong in Favor of su.
preme Judge For President.
May Not Result in His !
Nomination.

| Chicago, June 6.-The general
feeling about this convention is that
Roosevelt can not be nominated, but
he is clearly dominant figure and
the fear of nominating a man whom
Roosevelt would oppose as the can
didate on the third party ticket de-
tiers powerful leaders from centering
on any man today. Hughes is the
strongest candidate in the field SO
far as talk in the crowds is concern
ed, but instructed delegates pretty
generally are making caucus agree
ments to stay by their candidates
which, if carried out, will eliminate
Hughes, and unless Hughes breaks
his silence and tells the country
where he stands, the Roosevelt crowd
will withhold their endorsement of
him and leave the danger of third
ticket ever present. Cummins has
the best chance of the field Of favor
lite sons today, for there is an unmis-
taxable friendliness of feeling to-
ward his candidacy on the part of
Roosevelt leaders. He voted for
Roosevelt four years ago, supporting
the republican ticket on all other Of
fees. Today Roosevelt leaders still
insist that Roosevelt should be nom
mated, but Senator Kenyon had a
very satisfactory conference with
Perkins, the Roosevelt leader, and
Iowa men still hope for success in
the event the Roosevelt men give up
hope for their candidate. HeaIy fin
ally came into the Cummins head
quarters yesterday and assured the
delegation that he would vote for
Cummins. Roosevelt has it in his
power to dictate the nomination Of
this convention, just as he had four
years ago, provided he will eliminate
himself The only question today
is, will he do it?
