HUGHES TO ANNOUNCE REFUSAL
Justice of Supreme Court to Stop
BOOSTING of Friends.

Washin gton, Jan. %. - Associate
Justice Hughes Of. the supreme court
will soon make a public declaration
that he will not accept the republican
nomination for president under any
circumstances, according to western
republican leader who has been inter-
ested In smoking Hughes out"
The authority for this statement
who would not permit himself to be
quoted by name said he and his
friends recently undertook to sound
Mr.. Hughes to discover whether he
would accept the. nomination If 1t
should come to him as the free will
offering Of the republican convention.
The Justice, It is alleged, made 1t
clear II he were nominated he would
be compelled to reject the honor.
Mr.. Hughes is represented as assert
ing the improperly of a supreme court
justice permitting himself to be con-
sidered as possible presidential can
didate. It would drag the court into
politics and establish a dangerous pre-
cedent, he said. He hoped to see~1he
day when no one would think of sug-
gestlng a supreme court justice for
political preferment
ton of Mr.. Hughes is this: He would
not resign now to become a candidate
for the nomination, because he Is not
seeking the presidency. and he is COM
PEELED to say he would reject un-
sought nomination because otherwise
he would be guilty in the meantime Of
the inpropriety Of participating In the
Anal decision Of litigation while being
considered for political Office.
It is stated Mr. Hughes will take
himself out Of the presidential field Of
possibilities within the next few weeks
by making public a letter to a friend
stating he would not accept the NOM
ination under any circumstances and
outlining his views of the ethics in
volved In the question.
The accuracy of this account could
not be verified last night. Justice
Hughes declines to discuss for publ
cation any phase of the question. Ar
dent advocates of Hughes for president
say they hope the report that he will
not accept is not true. but admit they
have misgivings on the subject.
