CHICAGO, June 8.-As the politi cal leaders gathered thls morning for the second dave sessions of the Republican and Progressive nation al conventions, lt became more ap- parent that there would certainly bc three national tickets in the field for the November aIections, although both George Perkins and Gov. Hiram w. Johnson are pleading with the l Progressive convention delegates this afternoon not to nominate Col. Roose- volt tonight and are trying to bring about a peaceful overture with the Republicans.
 Chairman Victor Murdock, of the ] Progressive national committee summed up the situation today when he said;
 Well, we left the door open but the Republicans don't seem to be coming ln.7
 The Republican leaders, too, dls- counted the sueeess Of the peace talk, saying that action had been de- layed SO long that a majority of the Republican delegates already have decided to proceed without regard for any third party and will nom mate Justice Hughes.
 William Allen White, radical Pro eressive, said: "l believe that the Progressive convention will nom mate Theodore Roosevelt by mid night and that the nomination will be squarely up to the Republicans to take or leave it as they see fit."
 PARTY LEADERS LABOR.
 All during the night the leaders Of both partles apparently labored sep arately on the work before the two conventions. All compromise talk vanished and both parties today started towards the end which prob. ably means two tickets and two Pres- ldentlal nominees.
 PREDICT FOR HUGHES.
 While they are still endeavorina to hold action in check until both Roosevelt and Hughes can both be disposed of. many Republican lead ers who have heretofore remained silent regarding probable convention results. are predicting the nomin- ation of Justice Charles E. Hughes .arly in the ballotlng. The attempt of the Prosressives to force Roose- welt on the Republicans rather than to dlscuss compromise is, it Is admitted by old line leaders, tending 10 make the issue one between the two leading candldates-RooseveIt and Hughes.
 Roosevelt in wires today states that he will come to Chicago and ad- dress the Republicans if the delegates 30 desire.
 CANYONS SHARP SPEECH.
 Uncle Joe Cannon made particu- lar sharp speech in the Republican convention boldly stating that only a Republican would be nominated for she Presidency. This Is one of the sharpest cuts The Colonel has re- celved before the Republican con vention.

Republicans Fear President
 Wllson.

CHICAGO. June -Telegraphing his paper, Louis seibold. political editor of the New York World. says that Republicans and Progresslves alike fear the popularity of Presi. dent Wilson. and are doubtful about the final results Of anything they might do. He says More disturb ing to the peace of mind of straight goods" and Progressive Republican leaders gathered for the convention than any of the candidates is Wood row Wilson. His name is heard more frequently than that of Hughes. Roosevelt. Root or the dozen or more "favorite sons"
 The Democratic President is actu- ally the central figure in the situa- ton. which is without tangible foun- dalton upon which to base an accu- rate prediction as to the identity of the opposing candidate fortunate or unfortunate enough to win the honor Of running against him.
