G. 0. P. CHAIRMAN
MUST Be NEUTRAL
Hughes Seeks Man to Head Com
mittee Not Identified With
Any Faction Past.
EASY DAY FOR THE NOMINEE

Washington, June lS.-Charles f.
Hughes, republican nominee for the
presidency, devoted most of his time
today to consideration of whom he
would select as chairman Of the re-
publican national committee. He
discussed the chairmanship with
many callers, including several men,
bers of the progressive wing of the
party.
The nominee is said to have
reached a decision as to the type OF
a man he will select and is reported
to have narrowed the field eligible
to two or three. Indications to-
night were that Frank Hitchcock,
who has been mentioned as one of the
leading candidates, virtually had been
eliminated from consideration, that
it was unlikely that William Hay
ward, public service commissioner OF
New York and close friend of Gov
ernor Whitman, would be chosen.
That William Loeb, jr., whose
selection was advocated by pro-
gressive supporters of the nominee
was a possibility and that Herbert
Parsons of New York also stood a
chance Of selection.
Selection Not Final.
Some time between now and Mon.
day afternoon when Mr.. Hughes
meets the national subcommittee on
organization a headquarters in New
York, tentative choice will be made
This selection, however, will not be
final as the nominee wishes to heat
the views of the committee. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Hughes will place
before the committee the names o.
two or three men who he believes tc
possess the proper qualifications.
Mr.. Hughes advisers said tonigh
that the nominee was seeking chair
man possessing the following quail
fications:
He should be man who has no
been actively identified with any fac
tion of the party.
He should be acceptable to the pro
gressives as well as to republicans.
If possible he should be residen
of New York, and,
He should know politics, but tn
nominee would prefer a man who ha
not been too actively identified wit
politics during the last few years.
Has Many Callers.
Callers kept the candidate busy a
day. Dozens of friends and man
party leaders from various parts {
. the country were among then

On Arms in Mexico

Columbus, N. NJ, June 18.-The
American punitive expedition in Mex
leo is sleeping on its arms prepared
for any eventualities. According to
reports here tonight General Jacinto
Trevino's threat is taken seriously
by the army members, more especial
ly since he occupied the better part
of last week reforming his entire line
south Of Namiquipa.
American scout patrols have been
detailed to watch the Mexico North
western railroad to prevent any sur
prise troop movements from north
or south.
Information leaking through from
the south today indicates that the
American troops are being re-dis-
posed in sections where surprise at
tacks might be possible. Outposts
in every direction have been with
drawn and detailed to vantage points
for protective purposes.
While no immediate attack i.
looked for yet, General Pershing il
taking every precaution to protect hi:
command, it is said. 1t is also under
stood that General Pershing's in
structions from his superiors giv'
him perfect freedom of action in cas-
of attack by the Mexican de factt
troops.
Meantime, ammunition and sup
plies were being rushed from Colum

cans OF the country were for the the
ticket, as we'll as three-fourths Of the
progressives. ..,
The nomination Of Huges, the SEN
ator said, was made against the
wishes of what are called the bosses
and it was clearly the will of the
people expressed at the convention.
He said that he had the pledges of
several delegations Friday night, suf-
ficient to have nominated him, but it
appeared to be for the best interests
Of the party to nominate Fairbanks
and whatever was for the best inter-
ests of the republican party, he was
heartily in accord with.
Speeches were made by S. M.
Meiick, L. L. Lindsey, Judge J. B.

. attended the crossing.
A field wireless apparatus has been
established on the American side of
the river tonight, which will keep in
close touch with the fourth punitive
expedition into Mexico. Troop H
was the first body of soldiers to
cross the river. Most of the day
these soldiers exchanged shots with
, bandits after the small expedition had
crossed the Rio Grande, but the sole
casualty was one Mexican bandits
