I'VE supposed the public knew that
Justice Hughes has no representative,
nor anyone who has beel authorized
in the slightest degree" he added.
The justice is sticking closely to his
library these days. Except for Mon
days he spends all his working hours,
and they are many, In his library,
studying cases Supreme Court jus.

Libraries.
II he has business downtown he

except official events from which there
is no escape. One Of his recreation'
is his victrola, another his children.

CARRANTA SENDS
ARMY Of 10000
TO THE BORDER
Funston Denies MexicanS
Are Entrenched Near

REPLY TO NOTE MAY Be
SHARPE Err Than ANTICIPATED
BY CARL D. GROAT

United Press Stan Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, June 2-Spread out
on 200-mile front 10000 Carranzista
troops have been mustered for border
patrol work, according to General
Funston's report to the War Depart
ment today. following careful investi-
cation of the Mexican troop move
ments. This number is double that
which General Obregon promised 10
dispose in Northern Mexico. The bulk
OF the twenty thousand troops. mostly
infantrymen. is massed In Chihuahua
City and vicinity. Fourteen thousand
are in Chihuahua City, 1000 just south
of there and 5000 have moved toward
MADEIRA Just northwest Of Chihuahua
City. Two thousand have moved to-
ward Oiinaga. 300 miles east Of Chi
huahua City at the tip OF the Big
Bend.
] Others are scattered at various
, points on the 500-mile line between
Madero and Ojinaga.
General Funston said that while the
newspapers reported entrenchments
Of the Mexicans, his investigators
found no evidence OF such move
In announcing this disposition. Sec
retary Baker declared General Funs-
ton manifested no apprehension over
the moves.
The nearest Mexican forces are al
MADEIRA. fifty miles northwest OF
Pershing's line.
The Funston report was specially
ordered In view of the recent rumors
that as many as 10000 Carranzistas
were being shifted TO Northern
Mexico Whether the information
will be taken as indicative Of Car
ranza's ability to patrol the border
is not yet known. The War Depart

CHICAGO. June 2.-The mightiest

sibilitv timber that has clogged up
Republican waters in a score of quad
rennial conclaves was on today. Al
though the Roosevelt neutenants re-
fused TO stand sponsor for the slate
II was fairly definitely established
along Candidates Row today that they
had let the Allies and Old Guard
know of the compromise which VIII
he most acceptable es the basis tor
the marching back into the fold OF
The Progressive hosts. The slate was;
Roosevelt for President, Fairbanks
for Vice-President; with the tacit un-
derstanding that Root was to be sec
retary of State and Burton secretary
of the treasury. Judging from the
hotel lobby gossip such a slate is far
from pleasing just now to the Allies
or Cid Guard hosts. But they had no
counter-proposal to make which would
take care of the various favorite sons

willing to trade the platform for the
nominee. that is, accept Roosevelt s

principles, but name some other leader

be entirely unsatisfactory to the
Roosevelt leaders.
United Press dispatches from New
York ten days ago told of the incep-
tion Of the compromise slate sug-
gested above.
II was said at that time, on author,
ity close to Roosevelt that he would

merely proposed adoption of his
Americanism as a platform without
granting voice as to the nominee.
