frage The night meeting followed

Create Hughes Committee.

CHICAGO, June 5.-A Hughes COM
mlttee. composed Of perhaps a hun
dred delegates from score of states.
both instructed and uninstructed. was
created here today. marking the first
step toward national organization
Of the forces which want to nominate
the Justice.
Tho purpose the committee is to
pledge every possible DELEGATE to .Jus-
tice Hughes before the convention
meets and to stir enthusiasm for him
by the use Of bands banners, badges
and buttons. Expenses of the com
mittee will be met by popular sub
scription.
Every mention of the Justices
name brought prolonged applause al
today's meeting and when Governor
Whitman. Frank II. Hitchcock. and
Colonel William Hayward predicted
that he not only would be nominated
but elected, the delegates shouted APP
proval
Several New England delegations
were said to be planning "a conference
with Mr. Hitchcock with a view to
joining the Hughes boom
The apparent elimination Of Colonel
Roosevelt as "A possible nominee, how
ever, has encouraged boomers for
some of the other candidates. Many
of them profess To believe they will
be the beneficiaries Of the waning
Roosevelt strength and that an effort
now will be made to concentrate On a
plan to eliminate Hughes. Chief
among these are the friends Of Sena-
tor Weeks of Massachusetts. As fast
as delegates arrive all of those who
are willing are taken to the Weeks
headquarters.
Leaders in presenting Justice
Hughes to the convention let it be
known today that Governor Whitman
in his nominating speech will make a
statement outlining Justice Hughes
political views and his record on inn
portant issues. Delegates have been
told that this outline will be based on
careful study Of histpublic career.

WAsHINGToN, June 5.-Presi-
w dent Wilson and his cabinet are
expected to discuss at tomorrow S
meeting the reply to be sent to Cen
cral Carranza's note demanding with
drawal of American troops from Me-
leo. While il has been stated author
itatiVely that the reply will make
clear the administrators intention.
not TO withdraw the expedition until
the Carranza troops have shown both
the intention and ability TO prevent
bandit raids, there are many other
questions raised by the note which
must be considered
General Carranza's demand that
the United States declare its inten-
tions toward Mexico in the interest
of all Latin America" has aroused
considerable discussion in diplomatic
circles. Some diplomats do not hesi-
tate to attribute to the activity ol
ing to offset President Wilson's of-
forts toward "a closer Pan-American
relationship.
Fighting l.. ..
They argue that the fact that Amer
lean marines have been employed re-
Gently in Nicaragua, Haiti and the
Dominican republic and that Ameri-
can troops are now in Mexico. may
have been used bv such agents to dis
count the presidents declarations fol
Pan-Ameircan amity. Some even
assert that campaign is on foot u

taining permanently the trade witt
South and Central America and Mex
leo formerly held in Europe
state department officials refuse tC
discuss that possibility and tho rCDl,
President Wilson will make to the de

terestedness has not been indicated
The demand may be ignored entirely
as other portions of the note such as
that suggesting that American do

New York.-Two explosions and the

Chihuahua City.-All lines of oom-
munication from here southwark have
been cut off by villa. Intense excite
ment prevails here. The bandit Is be-
lieved to be on way to take the city.
A train which started early on the
morning of July 16 for Mexico City
returned with the report that the rail-
road track north of Jiminez had been
torn up for miles Telegraph and tele-
phone wires also have been cut.

forcements being sent to the small
Carranzista garrisons at Parral and
Torreon. The bandit is reported to
have divided his forces, number 5000
men. One division is marching on
Torrean. The other will attack Parra'.

taken a new lease on life and 1t is
reported that he is moving with SUBJ
stantial number of men toward the
United States border line. 1t is said
that Villa has stated his determine
ton to become dictator of Mexico
