COP. LEADERS WILL PUT Q. K.
 ON CANDIDATE
Old System to Be Tn Vogue at Convention In
 Chicago. /

Chicago. June 2-The old theory that ca gentIemens agreement is made only to be broken is being shat tered here by members Of the Re- publican National Committee who are practically all here, ready for the fray, of next week They are provid- ing unmistakab1e proof of their abil- 1ty to comply with the terms of the contract they made in December.
 This contract, in substance,i pro- ytded that all delegates to be elected to the straight goods" convention, which meets on Wednesday next, should be tied up to the committee men instead of to candidates for the Inent not only has been kept but is being frightened by the party manag- CTS in anticipation of an attempt that Col. Roosevelt or any other aspirant for the Presidential nomination may make to stampede, coerce or cajole enough of the President makers to win.
 They Do Not Worry
 The best evidence has been pro- vided by the members of the National Committee of their ability to prevent a premature settlement. The party managers, therefore, are viewing com placently the activities of the sup- porters of Roosevelt, Hughes, Fair banks, Weeks, Sherman, Burton, Cummins and all the rest of the
 
 They do not appear to be ruffIed even by the extravagant claims made on every hand. Beyond encouraging the belligerents engaged in the trench lighting to make liberal use of poi Bonous gas'' in thel shape of deadly caIumnies and absurd predictions, they are taking no hand.
 There is the word of one of the best informed and industrious of the managers-once called bosses" by RooseveIt-that no candidate for the Presidential nomination has in ex- cess of 125 votes of the 493 neces- nary to win the honor. The distribu- tEon of the votes of the convention Is much the same as it has been for the last month, and it is not expected there will be any change until the group of leaders, numbering less than twenty, decide who shall be permit ted to win and on what terms.
 Who Will Decide Nomination
 Two win the nomination the sue cessfu1 candidate must secure the ap- NpFova1 of these notable operators in the field of practical Republican poIi- ties:

Washington, June By a vote of 47 to 22 the Senate yesterday con frmed Louis D. Brandeis, who was nominated by President Wilson for the United States supreme court on Jan. 28.
 F'orty-four Democrats and three Republicans voted for confirmation. and twenty-one Republicans and one Democrat - Senator Newlands-op- posed it. Senators La. Toilette, Nor ris and Poindexter were the Republi- cans who voted for it. Twenty-four Senators were paired and three Clarke of Arkansas, Democrat, and Sherman and Mclean, Republicans, were absent. The vote on the nom ination was by agreement, and with out debate.
 The calling of the roll was preced- ed by the presentation of majority and minorityi reports from the ju- dietary committee on the nomination In summing up their objection to MT. Brandeis' confirmation, Senators Clark of Wyoming, Nelson, Dilling- ham, Sutherland, Brandegee. Borah, Cummins and Works, the Republican members of the committee, said:
 Misfortune, Say Republicans.
 ''The facts upon which our conc1u- sions are based are undisputed. They present a condition that should make
 
 United States Senate impossible. New CT before in the history of the coun- try has a man been appointed a. jus tice of the supreme court of the Unit ed States whose honesty and integrity were seriously brought in question. It must be evident to any thinking and unbiased mind that this appointment has resulted from something other than the qualifications and fitness of the appOintee for the office.
 we regard it as a great misfor- tune and a distinct lowering of the standard heretofore maintained in making appointn ents to this high of fee that one should be selected for the place whose reputation for hon esty and integrity among his asso- ciates at the bar has been proved to be bad, whose reputation has been justified by his own course of con- duct. We cannot conscientiously give our consent to the confirmation of such an appointment"
 The answer of Senators Culberson, Overman, Chiffon, O'Gornan, F1etch- CT, Reed. Ashurst, Shields, Walsh and Smith of Georgia, the Democrats of the committee, is:
 Other Justices Were Attacked
 "An impression, has gone abroad that a great majority of the lawyers of Boston and vicinity are protesting against this nomination. This is a great mistake, as may be shown. It has been urged that in view of the fact that these charges have been made, and at best, there may be still

Chicago, June 2.-In the opinion or long-headed leaders who will wield a decided influence in the Republican National convention next week, the situation. as affecting candidates, has practically narrowed down to Roose- welt and Hughes Neither is wanted by the chieftains of the Republican Old Guard, who until a few days ago believed that they would hold the con vention in the hollow of their hands, and who are doing all the talking for their party here at present.
 They opposed Colonel Roosevelt in 1916 with all the vengeful spirit that marked their opposition to him in 1912, on the ground that he wrecked their party and is now enrolled with the third party which played havoc with their hopes of victory four years ago. They object to Justice Hughes be- cause bitter experience had taught a few of them that even victory, should 1t perch on the Republican banners this fall, would be barren in a patron age sense should he be tenant of the White House for four years to come
 T1se Old Guard leaders are still talk ing with well simulated assurance of putting Root over,'' while the press agents and managers of various fa- VoriteZ sons are discussing the pros poets of their candidates in an equally hopeful vein. But only a handful of delegates are here and all indications point to a united c1amor for a, winning candidate when they arrive. Of all the candidates so far mentioned, only Hughes or Roosevelt in the estima- ton of Republicans who view the sit uation in the cold light of reason, without personal bias or raneor, fits that description.
 Smoot Sees Hughes Leading.
 That some of the light has pene- trated into the inner circles of the Old Guard became apparent when United States Senator Reed Shoot, who is Chairman of the Utah delegation to the Republican National convention, arrived here.
 'It will be Hughes or Roosevelt" he said. "In my opinion the chances de- cidedly favor Hughes. If were a. betting man and making a book I would lay odds at the ratio of 10 to 1 on Hughes and 20 to 1 on Roosevelt That is the way size up the situa- tion after conferring with leaders from all parts of the country
 The statement of Senator Shoot created rumpus among the support CTS of E1ihu Root. who had counted upon Senator Smoot to support their candidate. Senator Smooth recently expressed a decided preference for MT. Root. His friends declare that he still regards the former New York Senator as the man best fitted for the Presidency in the present crisis, and that his only reason for desiring the nomination of some other candidate is his fear that Senator Root, if nom

 on Wise Interview

Washington, June 2-J usuce Hughes declined flatly today to dis cuss the interview which Rabbi Ste phen s. Wise of New York had with him and which was printed in the New York papers of June 21, 1912. Justice Hughes also refused to indi- cate whether the attitude ascribed to him at the interview remains unchang- ed, a position which the closing sen tence jof the alleged interview best de- scribes:

SIXTEEN VOTES LOST
 TO HUGHES BANNER

Chicago, June 2-Sixteen -prospec- tive votes for Justice Charles E. Hughes in the Republican convention went by the board yesterday when the national committee voted to seat the Henry s. Jackson delegation, of Georgia The action was taken after a lively contest which lasted more than six hours, and in which it was necessary to determine the personnel of the Georgia state committed
 A delegation representing the Wal ter H. Johnson wing of the party in Georgia fought a stubborn battle Each delegation came to Chicago un- instructed, but 1t was generally un- derstood that the Johnson delegation was prepared to support Hughes, while the Jackson delegates were friendly to Root, with John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts, as second choice.
 Previous to the consideration of the Georgia case the committee disposed of seven protests in Alabama, six re- gu1ar delegates-at-large being seated, while 8 protesting delegate from the 9th Congress District was returned a winner.
