Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 10.
To the Progressive Conven-

the honor you confer upon me
by nominating me as presi-
dent. / cannot accept it at
this time. l do not know the
attitude of the candidate of
the Republican party toward
the vital questions of the day.
Therefore, if you desire an
immediate decision, l must
decline the nomination.
But if you prefer to, | sug-
gest that my conditional re-
fusal to run be placed in the
hands of the progressive ma
tional committee. If Mr..
Hughes's statements, when he
makes them, shall satisfy the

interest of the country that
he be elected, they can act &C
cordingly and treat my re-
fusal as definitely accepted.
If they are not satisfied,
they can so notify the Pro-
gressive party, and at the
same time they can confer
with me, and then determine
on whatever action we may
severally deem appropriate
to meet the needs of the coun-
try.

Prominently Mentioned.

Washington, juno l1.-Chotles z
Hughes will begin his fight for the presi-
dency tomorrow with a series Of polti-
cal conferences in New York city. His
action in Fastening TO New York. taken In
connection with the telegram of accept
ance to Chairman Harding. is construed
as removing any doubt about his inten-
ton to wage vigorous campaign from
the very start.
The nominee plans to be in New York
some time to meet the republican leaders
returning from the Chicago convention.
He will seize the opportunity also IL time
permits, to get in touch once more with
the situation in New York State The
time for his return to Washington has
not been fixed but he may stay only a
few hours
The chief questions to be discussed now
concern the selection of a chairman Of the
national committee and the nature of the
presidential campaign, particularly the
part to be played by Mr. Hughes himself.
After six years of complete retirement
from political activity NJ Hughes finds
himself quite out OF touch with politics,
and he 8 turning to his friends in New
York for information and guidance. No
statement as to whom he will see there
was forthcoming from the Hughes resi-
dence tonight but it is expected he will
meet former Attorney General George w.
Wickersham, long a close friend Fred
erick c. Tanner, chairman of the New
York republican committee: Frank H.
Hitchcock. the unauthorized Hughes
boomer at Chicago; Governor Whitman
and others.
Friends Of the nominee say he is fired
with enthusiasm to get into the contest
now that the convention has spoken.
Members of the Hughes family ap-
peared in public to-day for the first time
since the nomination. He and his daugh-
ter Miss Catherine. left home at 1890
this morning to walk two miles to the
Cavalry Baptist Church. Their way was
blocked by a squad of moving picture
men, who kept pace with them for two
squares. At the church entrance thew
were met by Mrs Hughes and little Mrs.
Elizabeth, who had driven there
The moving picture men had made the

During services the family was seated

at the homes of all the justices of tho
supreme Court to pay farewell calls. No
one was received al the Hughes home.

The private, a recent recruit, it
was said, at militia ,headquar-

international line with instruc-

he met the sentry he was to
relieve.
In some manner Dockery
missed the sentry. He kept
walking until finally last night
he met a patrol on guard
eighteen miles east of the
camp.
"Dockery certainly obeyed in
structions," an officer remarked,
but it is good thing he met

NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
BILL PASSED BY HOUSE
Creates Bureau in Department of In.
terror to Have Reservations and
Monuments in It's Charge.

A bill introduced by Representative
Kent of California to create national
park service. with a comprehensive
system of supervision. passed the House
yesterday afternoon. 1t creates a
bureau in the Department of the In
terror. with headquarters in this city
to have in charge the existing national
parks and those to be established by
Congress. and also the monuments
now under the Jurisdiction of the In
terror Department. The purpose of
the bureau, as outlined in the bill, is:
The service thus esta blished shall
promote and regulate the use of the
federal areas known as national parks
monuments and reservations by such
means as conform to the fundamental
purpose of said parks. monuments and
reservations. which purpose is to con-
serve the scenery and natural and his
toric objects and the wild life therein,
and to provide for the enjoyment of
the same in such manner and by such
means as will leave them unimpaired
for the enjoyment of future genera
tions."
First Proposed in 1910.
Such park service was proposed by
the American Civic Association in 1910,
when the first bill for the purpose was
introduced in Congress. Richard b.
Watrous, secretary of the association,
speaking of the action taken by the
House yesterday, said:
1T begins to look as If the movement
We have been leading for years for the
greater usefulness of the national parks
through the establishment of a park
service is to be realized 1t will mean
great things for our vast recreationaI
areas.
People are coming to realize that they
do not need to travel abroad to find
scenic grandeur. but that it is in their
own country. And the United States
will benefit in an economic way by at
tracing for American tourist travel the
hundreds of millions of dollars that
have been going abroad for travel alone
But that is a by-product-the great
value of the parks is their recreationaI
value and the benefits they offer to the
hundred millions of our people"
