HUGHES MAY GET
NEBRASKA VOTE
Twelve of Sixteen Repub-
lican Delegates Say
They Prefer Him.

Omaha. April 23. Twelve OF the SIN
teen delegates from Nebraska 10 the
Republican National Convention have
expressed their personal preference for
Charles f. Hughes. and in case Henry
Ford carries the state and refuses to
permit his name 20 20 before the ma
tional convention the entire delegation
probably will be for Hughes.
Justice Hughes won the delegates
from the ID District. and will have at
least two votes from Nebraska. even If
Cummins gets tho other twelve. Under
the Nebraska law there Is no second
chosc provided for n the winner Of
tho Nebraska primary refuses 10 accept
the delegation can vote as 1t pleascs.
Ford and Cummins arc still sccssw-
ing back and forth Ford is leading
Cummius tonight by nnety-seycn
votes. Twice to-day Cummins passed
Ford when favorable counties were
heard from, bur Ford came back each
time. and when the checkers stopped
work tonight the Detroit man was IN
the lead. About 10 per cent Of tho re
turns are still out. and either Ford or
Cummins may be the winner.
Nebraska Democrats are not through
with Charles ". Bryan, even though they
have just defeated him 50 dccisiyely in
his candidacy for Governor Mr.. Bryan
has received the nomination of tho
Populiet party FOR that Office. and
while ne has made no statement Demo-
Gratis believe that he viii accept that
nomination and that his name will be
on the regular ballot at the election. If
this is done Mr. Bryan will receive the
vote of his Democratic admirers, and
while he may not be elected he may
get enough votes 10 defeat the regular
Democratic nominee.
Bryan's principal plank was prohibi-
ton. and while this does not appeal 70
the Democrats it is one of the stock
panks OF the Populist party. and the
few Popuists left voted for Bryan,
whose name had been filed as a Popu-
list as well as a Democrat.

PREFERENCE PRIMARY
IN OHIO TOMORROW
Parties Will Select Delegates to
Conventions.

Columbus. Ohio. April 93.-At tho
first Presidential preference primary
election Tuesday Ohio Republicans and
Democrats will select delegates and
altcrnates TO their national and state
conventions, and designate their respec-
tive choices for the Presidential and
Vice-Presidential nominations.
The distinctive feature Of the cleo
lions is the contest between the four
so-caled regular" candidates for dele
eates-at-large on the Republican tick
ct and three candidates who hope 20
break the slate. Most opposition TO
the regular slate appears 10 be cen
tired on Governor Frank b. Willis,
whose political opponents arc trying
TO make his showing in the primaries
weak, for the sake Of hampering him
in his campaign for reelection next
fail.
Contests on the Democratic ballot
arc few and Of little Importance. Pres
ident Wilson is expected to have prsc-
ticaliy no opposition for denomination.
All candidates for delegates and al
ternates to the Republican National
Convention have declared themselves
FOR former Senator Theodore Z. Burton
fer President.
The Progressive State Central Com
im.tec is expected 20 name delegates
at-laree TO its convention, and this
plan will be followed by the party
likewise in local districts.

In such case our rulers at Washington

20 prepare during these twenty

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London. jan 2a-Bankers and other
financial experts regard Sir Edward Hol-
denis address before the meeting of the
shareholders Of the London City and
Midland Bank today as the most impor-
tant statement on war finance yet de-
Ittyered outside of Germany.
The speech constitutes . reply TO NJ
cent attacks on Great Britain's financial
position by the German minister Of
finance, Herr Helferich. Sir Edward de-
clares Germany's credit balances abroad
are exhausted and her exports have d.
minished 50 seriously as to make II diff
icuIt to finance her imports He adds
that the Germans have sold nearly all
their American. Swiss, Scandinavian and
Russian securities. and hence gold ex-
ports have become inevitable for her.
He challenges Herr Helferich to reply
to ten categorical questions covering
these and other points regarding Ger
many's economic position.
Financiers here also derive great salts
faction from Sir Edwards references to
the fact that. on account Of the British
income tax being equal to from Is to II
per cent under the existing law, the first
British war loan returns were only per
cent and the last only 3 3-4 per cent. and
on this basis Great Britain has raised
about 100000 900 pounds sterling.
At the same time. Holden urges that the
British government consider the fact that
other belligerents have flung aside the
income tax on war loans. which forms
a deterrePt influence on the complete
success of the issues. Incidentally, Sir
Edward said:
We are under great obligations to the
American bankers for the magnificent
spirit they. showed in buying, straight
out. that s50O.O00.OoO loan"
