touch with a representative IN Wash
ingtOn whose identity was carefully
guarded He was trying 20 get into
communication with the justice and
ask him 10 come out into the open
and say where he stands on the
great question Of Americanism. II
he would do so, and do il with en-
phasis, then mis- nomination by the
republicans and his endorsement by
the prOgressiy es could be secured.
Otherwise this was out of the ques-
ton.
Hughes Must Declare Stand.
It is understood that the "conserv-
ative progressives," with whom
Hughes is a second choice, should
Col Roosevelt eliminate himself and
Hughes show that he stood right,
made il very plain TO the Hughes
managers that under no circum-
stances could they support Hughes
unless he personally, and in Ian
guage that would leave no doubt of
what it meant. purge himself of the
charge that he favored hyphenism.
After the conference between the
! committees from the republican and
progressive conventions broke up
these men let il be known that the
only way that Hughes could be made
acceptable was as follows:
Announce in emphatic terms that
he stood for America first and for
the maintenance of neutrality at
every cost
Agree immediately to resign from
the bench and make his fight on the
party dictum of the republicans and
progressives adopted platform.
If Hughes is willing to do this the
progressives pointed out then he
could count on the support of Col.
Roosevelt and the colonel would
rush direct to Chicago on a special
train and deliver his own delegates
to Hughes.
Only Colonel Can Deliver.
It was admitted that only Roose-
welt himself could deliver the pro-
gresSive nomination 10 anyone other
than himself But if he came here
and told the convention that he had
won his fight and had safeguarded
the progressive cause as typified by
him in his telegram TO w. j. Jack
son yesterday, there was little doubt
| that he could have his own cOnven-
/ ton do anything that he willed.
But the republican leaders did not
know whether this was possible. So
| far Justice Hughes simply has de-
clined to agree to conference with
the Representatives of the republican
party who believe that he must be
| their candidate And he also has
refused to do what the Roosevelt
men have been trying hard to get
him to do-announce that his orig
inal position was unchanged. that he
was not a candidate for political
honors and that he would not accept
a presidential nomination were ii
| rendered TO him.

POLICE NOT ABLE
TO EXPLAIN CASE
Nick Nezick Tells Officer He Did Not
Steal $50 From Minnie Walden
and Another Woman in Auto.

After causing the arrest of a man
she alleged robbed her in a taxi-cab
in Rock Island late Saturday, and at
ter calling at the police station and
Identifying him, Minnie Walden today
failed to present herself in police
court as prosecuting witness and the
man was released after being fined
on minor charge.
The case presents peCuliarities the
police are unable to explain. The wO-
man notified authorities that she had
been robbed while the taXi-cab was
near Seventeenth street and Eigh-
teenth avenue. She said another wO-
man was with her at the time, and
that there was a man sitting in the
back seat of the car. She said he eX-
tracted SO from the purse of each Of
the women, and when they protested
he threatened to hit them over the
head with a beer bottle.
The driver and another man were
sitting on the front of the cab She
said they appeared not to have heard
the disturbance the man caused. She
said he leaped from the car and diSap-
peared.
She gave the police a detailed de-
scription of the alleged thief, and later
Nick Nezick was arrested. She was
notified and went to the headquarters
where she identified NeZick as the
man who stole the money She pre-
ferred a charge of larceny from the
person" and Nezick was held to pre-
liminary hearing at o'clock this
morning.
Does Not Show Up.
At the appointed hour the woman
failed to show up. Police had specifi-
cally told her to be on hand, as she
was the states most important wit
ness. After a long wait authorities
gave up hopes of her coming and Ne
zick paid fine of So for disorderly
conduct.
Police say the case is queer The
woman's failure to appear today, they
take it, means that she was not in good
faith when she made the complaint
NeZick stoutly denied the charge.
