NO ENTHUSIASM FOR HUGHES
Progressives Will Nominate Roose-

BY CHARLES e. HAspRook.

CHICAGO, June 9-The Old Guard
knows now that it must accept Roose-
welt as II leader or face u split as it
did in 1912. The Progressives have
been patiently marking time all day,
while waiting action in the Coliseum
before nominating Roosevelt, which
they VIII do tomorrow whether or mo-;
they combined with the fayorite sons
tonight and forced an adjournment.
Their agreement with them to prevent
Hughes's choice seems temporarily eff
fcctive. Meanwhile they will nominate
their man by their own convention.
and make a fierce drive in the ranks
of their enemy. Hughes's supporters
lack enthusiasm. He is not liked by
the bosses OF his party, because they
know he Will not be bossed by any
one: and so the bosses are not en-
thusiastic. They respect him, and sup
port him on account of his alleged
strength with the people. but unless he
breaks into the favorite sons delcga-
tons on the first ballot tomorrow, his
following will scatter and cndeavor to
kill of Roosevelt by throwing their
strength elsewhere.
