scores Of persons on various missions
locked to his rooms mostly men who
had known him back in the days
when he was campaigning for COVER

TO those who knew the nominee as
supreme court justice there was q
marked change in his bearing today
His air of studious~ reserve apparently
left him with the robes OF his office
He had u hearty hand grasp and a
smile for every man he met ana
seemed enthusiastic in his welcome OF
old friends, who came to see him after
an interval of years. These came in
crowds. A Texas republican leader

here from Washington merely TO
shake hands and say, Texas Will be
with YOU"

local leaders in the nominees home

How the progressives will vote
whether Roosevelt viii support Mr..
Hughes: whether the colonel will take
the stump for him. to what extent
failure of the proeressives to support
Hughes would effect the election
these and kindred topics were the sub
ject of much speculation on the part
OF republican leaders VINO called. Inc
opinion prevailed that these questions
might be answered in several days
after the progressive leaders have had
an opportunity to confer at length.
Because Of the press Of political con-
ferences, Mr. Hughes stated late today
that he would not be able to take
part in the preparedness parade at
Washington on Wednesday. The re-
publican nominee had planned to
march in the parade, which will be
led by President Wilson.
