| HUGHES KEEPS UP FRONT;
TO RESUME LAW PRACTICE
Defeated Presidential Candidate
Maintains Judicial Calm Over
Result of Election.

Outwardly, at least, Charles Evans
Hughes isn't showing any signs of
disappointment over indications that
he has just lost out of the biggest job
in America. The man who said two
days before the election, IF am
elected-as l expect to be-" and said
II with conviction ringing in his
voice, appears now to be just as i'm
perturbably unconcerned as when q
short six months ago he sat on the
bench of the supreme court of the
United States in judicial calm, says
New York dispatch. Strangely,
however, he has not yet sent Presi-
dent Wilson the usual congratulatory
letter.
There was no doubt that Mr..
Hughes was greatly moved when,
after having gone to bed election
night convinced he was elected he
awakened to find his opponent
chosen.
The future of Mr.. Hughes is in
doubt. Having left the supreme
court bench to accept the presiden-
t:al nomination he is now put in
position which practically compels
him to return to the practice of law.
