HUGHES TOCLIMB
14,Ooo-FOOT PEAK
Forgets Politics in Heart
of Rockies and Avoids
entertainments.
Ry RAY II. LEEk.


Estes Park. Col, Aug. 27-Up here
close to the top of the world where a
low-hangine snow cloud or the appear
.orce Of a mountain lion is Of far more
;mnortance than the greatest political
issue. Charles f. Hughes has found the
FIRST seelusion he has experienced since
leaving his Long Island home three
weeks ago.
One telegraph wire Of questioned re-
liability and a perilous mountain roau
are all that bind him to the outside
world. And he has just announced that
he doesn't care how soon the wire goes
down or the road is blockaded.
The summer colonists who crowd the
saveral hotels here we're disappointed
this afternoon when Immediately after
luncheon Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes strolled
down the steps of the Stanley Hotel
and along the path that leads to Longs
Peak A few minutes later the visitors
for whAh the hotel had been waiting
FOR weeks were tiny specks moving to-
ward the continental divide.
To Climb Longs Peak.
The most serious business Mr..
Hughes has permitted himself to con-
slider is that Of reaching the summit OF
Longs Peak on foot. The peak is some
what more than 1900 feet above sea
level. the highest mountain in the front
range of the Rockies, and TO climb 1t is
bv-no means a simple pleasure jaunt
Public spirited citizens Of the village
of Estes Park. a mile away from the
temporary Hughes domicile, had ar
ranged a programme for the entertain
ment of their visitor tomorrow, but
the programme has been wrecked by
the refusal of either MIR Hughes or
mis- wife to take part in any activity
other than gazing at the wonders OF
this natural amphitheatre.
The Hughes train reached the heart
Of the Rockies early this morning at
the "ghost city" of Lyons. The little
hamlet that once was city passed out
Of corporate existence years ago when
Portland cement wiped out the market
for red sandstone such as crops out OF
its very streets.
But even the "ghost city" showed re-
markable signs of life when, as the
train drew into the station, a slender
line Of small children. carrying flags,
marched down the road and greeted the
nominee to the tune of America" Boy
scouts presented him with a miniature
axe on which was carved Hughes TO
the line, let the chips fall where they
may"
Then the special was abandoned, as
auto-stages and horsedrawn vehicles
alone may penetrate to this plateau,
which is more than a mile and half
high. The twenty-three-mile drive was
a thrilling one. The narrow road
which will admit Of two vehicles pass
ing only at spots where it has been built
out over the rocky gorges that it ira
verses, winds about great rocks, rises
falls and at times is almost lost Sew
eral times the honk honk of an ap-
preaching machine prevented accident
Up here, where the chauffeurs of high
climbing machines are familiar with
the hazards Of the road, these near
accidents are readily forgotten. To the
tenderfoot, however, they provide
thrills enough for many days.
