FREDDY WELSH WON'T
STANDF0R REFEREE
Match With Charlie White in
Minneapolis Is Called
OFF.

MINNEAPOLIS. July n.-Harry. Pol
lock. manager OF Freddie Welsh, light
weight champion of the world. today
called off the scheduled ten-round bout
between the titleholder and Charlie
White. OF Chicago. owing to his failure
to accept Bill Hoke as referee. Tho
managers Of the two boxers could not
agree upon any official to act, and so
the battle was declared off after long
discussion.
The Welsh-White bout was to have
been held at a club midway between this
city and st. Paul. and many tickets have
been sold. All money will be returned by
the club planning to stage the bout.
It Is probable that White will never
get another chance to box the cham
pion. The Chicagoan had counted on a
decisive win tonight. II possible by a
knockout. Welsh has repeatedly turned
down chances to meet White In a twen-
ty-round bout to a decision. and White
meant to take advantage OF his oppor-
tunity tonight.

SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
IS NOMINATED ON
THIRD BALLOT.
PROGRESSIVES
NAME ROOSEVELT
This Means That There VIII
Be Two Tickets in the Field
-Insures Wilson's Election.

Supreme Court Justice Charles
Evans Hughes of New York has
been selected by the Republicans as
their presidential candidate, having
been nominated on the third ballot
at Chicago yesterday morning after
conference committees named by
the Republicans and Progressives
had failed to agree upon compro-
mise candidate.
After having received a telegram
from Roosevelt stating that Senator
Lodge was the only compromise can
didate acceptable to him, the Pro-
gressives met and nominated the
Colonel as their standard bearer.
A later telegram from Roosevelt
declared that he would make no
statement as to whether he would
support Justice Hughes until he
had read his letter of acceptance.
Roosevelt had previously stated,
however, that he would under no
consideratio1 support the Supreme
Court Justice, and it is generally be-
ieved that he will accept the nomin-
alton rendered him by the Progress
sives, and make the race as their
candidate.
The entrance Of Rooseyelt in the
race as the Progressive candidate
means that the Republican vote viii
be split, just as it was four year
ago, and the reelection of President
Wilson will naturally follow.
