WASHINGTON, May 20.--Justice
Charles f. Hughes today received
without apparent excitement news
Of bis overwhelming triumph in the
presidential primaries In Oregon.
HIS secretary announced. when the
United Press returns were read to
him. that there would assuredly be
no expression from the justice, and
that il could not even be said he
was in the race
Republican leaders who believe
they have control Of the coming Re-
publican convention, however, took
AN entirely different view Of the sit
uation. Hughes against the fleld,'
was the expression of one prominent
senator and he declared the only fig
ure in "the field" who could be re-
garded as more than a favorite son,
since the beating given Cummins
and Burton in Oregon, is Col.
Roosevelt
Because OF the failure Of the
forces friendly TO Roosevelt in Penn
sylvania TO do better than break
even, If that well. with Penrose, the
Justice was declared leader over
the colonel.
One conservative leader while
claiming 10 regard the first ballot in
the coming convention as among the
least consequential events, gave out
this estimate OF strength:
Cummins. SO; Burton, l40; Fair
banks, 40: Root, 100; Weeks, 120;
Borah. 8: Dupont 8; Sherman 80;
Hughes. 30; Roosevelt, 50; LaFol-
