 'I am very much pleased of course, said MT. Hitchcock Tt means q re- united republican party and victory in November"
 The nomination of MT. Hughes was made possible so soon by an overnight brealS-up of the allied favorite sons com bination, which early this morning re- leased it's delegates, practically all of whom were known to favor MT. Hughes when freed from their instructions.
 When the convention got down to busi- ness shortly before noon the withdrawal of the favorite sons was announced from the platform one after another, and the votes began Hopping into the Hughes column in solid blocks so rapidly that the nomination plainly was assured be- fore the roll call had gone five states
