HUGHES NEEDS IS
His Supporters Claim AS Votes
for Him Today.
Most of Them Will Be Cast on
the Second Ballot.
NO SIGNS OF HARMONY
Many Old Guard Leaders Flock
to Harding.
The Progressive Fight Against
Hughes Is Unabated.
tRY JAMES G. MoNrAGUE.)

Chicago, ILL.,, June Ton the eve
of the Republican national convention
Chicago went into action this morn
ing. The supporters of Justice Charles
E. Hughes have counted 41S votes
which they assert will be cast for him
not later than the second ballot. These
votes come from 81 states. They are
rs short of the number he will require
before he can become the candidate of
the convention.
The Hughes candidacy has now two
hurdles before it can succeed.
First-Seventy- five Republican dele
gates must be convinced either that
the plain determination of the Pro-
gressives to nominate Roosevelt is a
bluff, or that Roosevelt's nomination
will make no difference.
Second-Seventy- delegates must
stand firm against the earnest perSua-
sion of the Old Guard leaders to unite
on another candidate, probably War
rem G. Harding of Ohio and James B.
Wadsworth of New York.
Progressives Firm.
The battle to stop Hughes is de-
termined, but divided. His Progressive
opponents, in an extremely heroic
mood. met in the Florentine room of
the Congress. the birthplace of their
party, and loudly declared their de-
termination to nominate Theodore
Roosevelt without the aid or consent
of any other party on earth. 1t was a
bigger meeting than the one which
brought the Progressive movement
into being.
The Harding movement was con-
Quoted in secret chambers and be-
hind heavily bolted doors. Alarmed
by the strength of the Hughes forces,
the old guard leaders are dragging up
their heaviest artillery.
Word has gone out to bring in all
the boys who are regular and talk tur-
key to them. The watchword is this:
These long horn Progressives are
going to run out on US anyway. Per-
kins can't stop them. Neither can
any one else. We don't want Hughes
and as long as we can't bring the
Progressives into camp with US. we
might as well name a stronger man.
Go out and boost for Harding
Senators Lodge, SmOot. Crane and
Penrose represented the old guard, to-
gether with the astute brethren from
Indiana who positively refuse to go
home without some kind of a nominal
ton for Charles Fairbanks
Meanwhile the Hughes people were
doing some very busy recruiting and
reported great progress.
Frank H. Hitchcock, whose services
in behalf of Hughes only threatened
to upset the Hughes beans was the
most prominent halter thrower in the
company. While he was extremely
conservative about announcing state
delegations he said that at least a
hundred delegates had been brought
into the corral. He was confident
that the convention will be all over
after the third ballot as far as the
presidency is concerned

had been such as to place the British
in a position to pursue the Germans.

Wheat Improving; Other Crops

The fore part of the week was warm

favorable for crop growth, cultivating
corn and cutting alfalfa, says the re-
port.
During the latter part heavy rains
were general except in the northwest
quarter and effectually broke the

been secured the second crop has
