There is room for improvement in great many

FAVORITE SONS ARE
NOT VERY CHEERFUL
They Cannot Agree On One
of Themselves, But Are
Ready for Hughes
By Carl D. Groat.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Chicago, June l0.-The second break
in the ranks of the favorite sons came
early today. Following the withdrawal
OF Governor Brumbaugh after the first
ballot yesterday, the managers of Law
renee Y. Sherman gave up the ship
about dawn Illinois win Join the
Hughes forces on the first ballot today
and Sherman delegates, scattered else,
where, are expected to follow. Other
breaks in the allied ranks are expected
soon after balloting is under way, until
the field is narrowed down to three or
four men.
Favorite sons row was not a CHEEKY
spot about ! a. m. today. Frazzled man
ayers slipped away for few hours rest
after q series Of long conferences. but
it was evident the pow vows had avail
ed nothing in the way of combination
to head off Hughes
The managers of Burton, Fairbanks,
Cummins and Root were ready to renew
the battle, but they had not agreed on
one of their candidates to be the recipi-
ent OF their combined strength Indi-
vidually, they declared it possible to
prolong the contest by continuing each
favorite son for himself but none was
willing to say Hughes might not win if
an attempt was made to narrow the
fight to Hughes and one favorite sor.
Overtures were made during the fight
BY Hughes managers, first to this ia
vorite and then to that offering them
the vice presidency if it would deliver
his strength TO Hughes. The vice-presi.
dental bait did not appear attractive,
as all realized the moment they began
dickering for second place, their chance
for first place would go glimmering.
a number of definite plans were un.
der consideration by the favorite man,
ayers today. One was to start q move.
ment for Senator Warren G. Harding in
the hope that the favorite son delegates
might be able to combine on him and
defeat Hughes.
Uninstrueted delegations we're being
watched by the favorite sons. Word was
coming in early today that first one
uniustructed state and then another
would break away and 60 to Hughes.
