BACKS UP FORMER STATEMENT

New York. June l5.-Charles E.
Hughes, in response to questions put
to him today by newspaper men in
regard to his attitude towards the
support offered him by the German
Americans, said it was "onc of undi-
luted Americanism."
Il stated my position very clearly"
said the republican presidential can
didate, "in my statement to the con-
vention. My attitude is one of undi-
luted Americanism and anybody that
supports me is supporting an out and
out American and an out and out
American policy; absolutely nothing
else"
Mr.. Hughes dictated his statement
on "undiluted Americanism" in re-
sponse 10 repeated requests of inter-
viewers and in the face of his pre-
viously announced determination to
say nothing further on issues of the
day until his formal notification of
nomination. He met the correspond
ents by appointment and dictated the
statement standing in a group of
about forty newspaper men and other
callers.
Only Authorized Statement.
1t was the only statement he made
during his talk with newspaper men
that he would permit to go out as
authorized by him. Co.,
At the same time it was made clear
to callers that the nominee should
use what he. thought was the most
emphatic langus ge he could have
used on this subject in his telegram
last Saturday to Chairman Harding of
the republican national convention.
Mr.. Hughes, it was said, intends
to meet doubt that has been raised
in a manner which he believes will
clear it up. 1t will be a long CAM
paign and strenuous campaign, ac-
cording to the present outlook at
headquarters, and there will be OPP
portunity to go into details before
the American people.
The nominee, leaders said, probably
will start early on his speech-making
tours. These and other details, how
Fever. yet remain to be decided.
Indications today were that Mr
Hughes would remain in New York
until he begins his speech-making
tours, with the exception of his con-
templated visit to Brown university
next week.
Will Choose Chairman Later.
One Of the few developments Of
the day at Mr.. Hughes headquarters
was an announcement by Lafayette
B. Gleason, secretary of the repub-
lican national committee, and also OF
the New York state republican COM
mittee, which indicated that it will be
several days yet before any decision
is reported on the question Of the
man who is to succeed Charles D.
Hilles as chairman of the republican
national committee. Mr.. Gleason said
that a subcommittee of the national
committee would in a few days call
upon the nominee to discuss the mat
ter.
Another development was the an
nouncement from the candidates
headquarters that moving pictures
would be employed to aid his cam
paign. 1t is planned to throw on the
screen throughout the country pic
lures of Mr.. Hughes "in order that
the people may again become familiar
with Charles E. Hughes, because he
has for so long a time been virtually
out of public fife" The screens also
will display important passages from

convention accepting the nomination

for governor of New York on the
