More political leaders are predict.
ing the nomination of Justice Charles
Il. Hughes tonight than at any other
time since the commencement of the
convention. They declare that unless
the situation is not reflected in its
true light that the jusice will be NOM
inaed sooner than has been predict
ed.
Efforts Fruitless.
-Four days of constant effort to
bring the two parties together has
not had the desired result and the
trend from the outse has been to.
ward the nomination of Justice
Hughes. Had Col. Roosevelt ann0unc.
ed during that time that he would not
support Justice Hughes, the leaders
we're prepared to turn to any one of
the regular republican candidates.
Under the condition. Justice Hughes
has naturally become the choice OF
practically all delegates instructed
for other candidates. They became
more eager to 60 to him as soon a.
they could secure relief from their
pledges.
See Only Hughes.
Frank H. Hitchcock, spokesman for
the Hughes followers, said there
would be no attempt to nominate
Hughes on the first ballot. He said
that he believed, however, that the
second ballot, with the release Of
many delegates from their obliga-
tions, would swell Hughes vote to
such proportions that he would be
certain of nomination on the third
ballot. When the Hughes tide be
came apparent tonight, many inquir.
les we're made as to whether his &C.
ceptance in case of nomination would
be in any sense contingent upon
third party nomination by. the pro-
gressives. The answer was that such
a contingency would be In n0wise be
taken into consideration by Mr..
Hughes.
The progressives argue that they
will have no course other than to
name their 1912 ticket, Roosevelt and
Johnson. as efforts to reach IN agrees
ment with the republicans for = re.
turn to the older party have failed.

Commissioner Newman explained how
the District governing board Is trying
to get in touch with the residents and
give them the best government and
service possible. He explained some OF
the difficulties which they encounter:
Mr. Newman said that the collection OF
garbage and other refuse could be done
better by District employees, and re-
viewed the steps that have been taken
looking to the establishment of a
municipal garbage disposal plant.
He stated that a middle west con-
tractor had offered. IL given contract
for three years, to build a plant here,
and at the end of that period turn 1t
over to the District. He cited this as
an illustration that there must be
good profit from such contract as now
covers this garbage collection.
