No One Can
Speak for Justice

WASHINGTON. Juno a.-Justice
Hughes. through his secretary. told
tho United Press today that neither
Frank Hitchcock nor any ono else
II authorised to work for the nom.
nation Of the Justice. at ChicaSo
Justice Hughes has no rspresen-
tative and there Is no man author
ixed to use his name a. . presiden-
tial possibility" said the secretary.
Laurence III. Green.
He said he was surprised that the
impression had been gained that
Hitchcock might be acting with
authority OF the Justice.
I'VE supposed the public knew
that Justice Hughes has no repre-
sentative nor anyone who has been
authorized In the slightest degree. |"
he added.
The Justice Is sticking closely to
his library these days. Except for
Mondays. he spends all his working
hours. and they are many, in his IL
brary. studying cases. Supreme
court justices have no ofices ex-
cept their own libraries.
II he has business downtown. he
walks-a distance Of two or three
miles or more-or rides with Mrs.
Hughes In their electric car.
The justice knows little society"
except Official events from which
there Ia no escape. One OF his re-
creations is his victrola. and an
other his children.
