Penrose and Perkins Meet.
Another harmony hsndshske, which,
in the mind of Chairman Wilcox, was
added proof that practically all former
and present Republicans were working
together for Hughes, occurred at
national headquarters yesterday. Sena-
tor Boies Penrose. of Pennsylvania,
and George w. Perkins, of the National
Committee, met in Mr.. WillcoX's office,
quito by accident, it was said. and in
dulged in a most friendly converse
ton.
Nothing strange that we should be
together, is there, George" said Mr..
Penrose when the newspaper men
broke in on them. "Why, Mr.. Perkins
and have known each other for thirty
years. Just now we happen 20 be
working shoulder to shoulder, and all
that sort Of thing. II isn't like it was
four years ago, is it GEORGE"
Mr.. Perkins shook his head vigor-
crsly. Senator Penrose declared that
Pennsylvania would give Hughes n
majority of between 100000 and 300,0 900
votes. He said the Progressives were
all back in the Republican fold in that
state and no functional differences now
existed.
The Republican State Committee
will meet to-day to decide how many
Progressives will be among the forty
five Presidential electors from this
state. State Chairman Frederick &.
