fer upon me by nominating me as
president. ! cannot accept it at this
time. ! do not know the attitude of

ment Of his position on issues and to
say nothing which might be construed
as becoming a candidate while he ore
the robe of a justice in the worlds
greatest court.
Before the nominating ballot was
taken Senator Smoot announced the
report Of the latest meeting OF the
Republican conferees with the con.
ferees OF the Progressive convention,
disclosing that the Republicans had
presented the name OF Mr.. Hughes for
their consideration as a candidate on
whom both conventions could unite.
He also read the reply of the Progress
sive conferees. which merely was an
acknowledgment Of receipt of the pro-
posal. Then he read Col. R%oosevelt's
telegram 20 the Progressive conven.
ton, which had been brought to the
Coliseum by John McGrath, the col
onel's secretary, suggesting Senator
Lodge.
Before he had finished the reading
word came and was announced in the
Coliseum that the Progressive con-
vention itself had not only tabled the
Republican proposal of Mr.. Hughes,
but had tabled Col. Roosevelt's own
proposal of Senator Lodge as we'll. No
one in the Republican convention real
ly expected Col. Roosevet's compro-
mise to be accepted, neither did they
feel the Progresses would accept Mr..
Hughes.

HUGHES SENDS ACCEPTANCE
Utters First Word On Policies.
Resignation Accepted.

Washington,-Charles Evans Hughes
on June 10 resigned from the supreme
bench and accepted the Republican
nomination for president. In a tele-
gram denouncing the administrations
foreign policies and declaring for a
dominant. thoroughgoing American
ism" he gave his decision TO Chair
man Harding of the Republican ma
tional convention and broke the long
silence which had kept the leaders Of
his party in the dark as to his atti-
tude on what they termed the great is
sue of the day.
IL have not desired the nomination"
the telegram said. 81 have wished to
remain IN the bench. But in this crit
ical period of our national history l
recognize that 1t is your right TO sum-
mon and hat it is my paramount duty
to respond"
Within an hour after Chairman
Harding had notified him Of his nomi-
nation Mr.. Hughes had accepted the
call. His resignation, a scant two-line
letter without a superfluous word, was

the Hughes home before the nominee

paper men into his study to tell them
OF his decision. President Wilson ac-

more than a formal reply.

NOW APPEARS TO ALMOST
BE A ROUT.
CzERNOWITZ IS THREATENED
Occupation Of Important City Of Blu.
kowina 10 Reported, But Not Con-
firmed-Austrians Give Up
Strategic Points.

Petrograd.-A war office announce
ment says that the retreat Of the Aus
tro-Hungarian and German troops
along the Galician and Volhynian
fronts is proceeding so rapidly that
only a small number of prisoners has
been captured, in addition to those
previously reported. The total is now
given as about 115,700.
Reports of the occupation Of Ger
nowitz, capital of Bukowina, by the
Russians, are still without confirma.
ton, but after the recent defeat of the
Austrian General Planners army and
the successful Russian operations in
the immediate vicinity of Czernowitz,
official news of the fall Of the city is
~momentarily expected here.

and one of the most important posi-
tons on the Dniester line Of fortified
lions also comes within the ION now

Russians, it is In an equally critical
situation.
The two other most important sec.
tors Of the front extending from the
Pripet river to Roumania are the re-
gions south Of Lutsk and north OF
Tarnopol. From the reports of the
p%recipitate Austrian retreat from the
former region 1t is inferred here that
the Austrians e compelled to re-
linquish their most important position
on the Ikwa front-the Torgovitsa for
LITIGATION, at the junction of the Ikwa
and Styr rivers. The occupied posi-.
ton is of the greatest strategic value.
Here the same fate overlook the Aus
TRANS as at Mlynoff, on the Ikwa,
east Of T~orgovitsa. Finding them
selves the target for an intense artil-
lery bombardment from three sides,
the garrison fled in disorder.

EXPLOSION WRECKS ELEVATOR,
Few Men May Be Dead From $2,00o,-
600 Fire In Baltimore.

" ~ J"
Baltimore. - Pennsylvania railroad
No. 3, on the harbor front at Canton,
a suburb, was burned June 10 with a
loss Of life conservatively estimated
at from four to 10 men and injuries
to more than 40 others. The victims
were mostly elevator employees and
cargo trimmers.
Two steamships, the Willem van De-
reil, ST., a Dutch vessel. and the Brit
ish steamer Welbeck Hall, which were
loading grain at the elevator, also
we're badly damaged by fire and
wreckage dropped upon them from
the elevator.
The flames spread to an ore pier
next to the elevator, badly damaging
It. Several strings Of grain cars in
the elevator were burned.
While the fire is thought to have
been caused by an explosion of grain
dust, a theory was advanced that it
may have been caused by a bomb.
This theory will be investigated, 1t
was said. Conservative estimates
placed the loss at more than $1,000
600. Scores of men barely escaped
with their lives.
