WASHINGTON. May 20. - Close
friends of Justice Charles Z. Hughes,
fully convinced that he is TO be the
republican presidential nominee, will
endeavor to influence him to resign
from the bench before the Chicago
convention assem- bles and to an
nounce his candidacy. They assert
that if he could do so now the fight
would be over.
The Hughes sentiment, they claim.
is spreading like wildfire through the
southern delegates and the justice
has followers in every state delega-
ton. So far Mr.. Hughes positively
has refused TO discuss politics even
with judicial associates. 1t was said
today by a fellow member Of the su-
preme court bench that there was
not a single member who had the
slightest idea what the justices posi-
ton was. lie has been good hui
moredly chaffed about his possible
nomination and has replied in kind
but at no time has he made a sin
gle statement that would permit any
line on his personal thoughts re-
garding the republican nomination.
Say Hughes is Certain.
Progressive senators who stuck by
the republican party in the last ma
tional campaign thereby I-ein.nS
their regulations for party r-gula--
ity, are a unit in believing that the
nomination Of Justice Hughes is as
certain at Chicago as is the renom-
ination of Prest Woodrow Wilson at
St. Louis a week later. They are
devoting most of their attention to
questions of platform and several
prospective planks already have been
framed. Sen. William r. Borah of
Idaho, will offer the Mexican plank,
which will denOunce watchful wait
ing. He has held several confer
Genes with border senators on the
subject and it is expected that the
platform declaration will assail all
the administration moves in Mex
leo The entire international policy
of the administration also is to be
handled without gloves. In this
connection it is expected that this
plank will be framed by Sen. Lodge
of Massa chusetts. who has decided
