ARE FOR HUGHES
Majority of Kansas Delegation
to Chicago Convention.
Will Vote for New Yorker if in
the Race.
FOUR OTHER CANDIDATES
Some Will Lay Aside Their
Personal Preferences.
In the Interest of Harmony,
Says w. Y. Morgan.

More than half of the twenty ele-
gates from Kansas to the Republican
national convention in Chicago will
vote for Justice Hughes for the presi-
dency if his name is brought before
the convention. Tina was the state
ment in Topeka today of w. Y. Nor
gan of Hutchinson, Lieutenant COVER
nor who will go to Chicago as mem
Der of the big Four" from this state.
Recently Morgan talked with dele
gates to the Chicago convention he
discussed informally the presidential
possibilities before the national con-
vention and secured from nearly "
cry member of the Kansas delegation
an expression as to personal prefer
ence for presidential nominee. A ma
1ority of the delegates, Morgan said
today, would support Justice Hughes
either through personal choice or be-
cause they believ his candidacy would
bring together the factions in the &c
publican party.
q have talked with nearly all of
the delegates to CT icago regarding
stated. "A majority of them, 1 am
sure, will be for Hughes as first
choice for lhe presidency and will vote
for him if his name is presented to
the convention.
Have Preferences.
some OF the u61tSdlGS W 10 WOultl
vote for Justice Hughes have other
personal preferences for first place.
Yet they feel that his nomination
would strengthen the party and would
be a wise move. It is the get-together
spirit and not personal desire of many
of the delegates that will prompt them
to vote for ETughes."
No effort was made to instruct
either district delegates or delegates
at large to the national convention
Agitation started several months age
in favor of Hughes instructions was
not received in the most kindly spirit
in some districts. Many old line Re
publicans declared the Hughes in
struction scheme was a plan to bind
the Kansas delegation to man who
would not be a candidate and to de-
liver the delegation to Roosevelt when
the supreme court justice refused tc
run.
In the fight concerning the election
of D. w Mulvane as national COM
mitteeman, Republican leaders forgot
their plans for Hughes instructions
and directed their fight against Null
vane delegates. Morgan, however, de-
clares the Kansas delegation will give
a majority to the New York man il
the vote for presidential candidates.
Several convention polls have beer
| taken in various sections of the state
during the last few weeks. In severa
counties polls of delegates have beer
/ taken regarding presidential prefer
| enceS. In Topeka last week a poll o,
| delegates and visitors in the state con
vention is said to have given Justice
Hughes a majority of the votes ovel
all candidates.
Morgan is in Topeka today to attend
the house warming and dinner of tn,
| Topeka Press club. He will be on,
of the speakers at the club dinner.

WASH. MARKING time

Confined from Page One-k
ton, hef irst would consult congress.
Until the government has some def
mite action on which to take steps
the issue is be clouded by a lack of
information or by conflicting state
ments.
American consular officers and the
embassies in France and England are
being urged to gather evidence of a
definite and legal sort and when this
is at hand President Wilson and Sec
rotary Lansing will determine what
the next step will be. Meanwhile the
situation can only be described as a
waiting one.
COnsuItS President.
Chairman Stone of the foreign rela-
tons committee said after seeing
President Wilson that all facts would
be awaited before action was taken
and that in their absence he refused to
express an opinion. While President
Wilson and other officials do not
underestimate the possibility of the
new situation, they realize that break
ing off of diplomatic relations with
Germany almost certain would mean
war and that for this reason every
step would be carefully considered
The president was in communica-
ton with Secretary Lansing during
the day and urged speedy gathering
of facts regarding the Sussex and
Englishman. Senators and represen-
tatives who called at the White House
reflected the view that the situation
was serious.

AMPUTATION
Of child's Finger Thought Unneces
sary-Curtls Cotton Sustains
Painful Injury

Curtis, the five-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Cotton of the Old
Delaware road, met with a very pain
full accident Friday evening, while
playing in the barn where his father
was putting up a load Of hay.
The little fellow seized the hay
rope in his hand while the horse was
pulling and the rope drew his hand
into the pulley. Two fingers were
badly injured and all the skin on the
palm Of the hand was burned off by
the moving rope.
A physician dressed the injuries.
1t was thought at first that amputa.
tion of the third finger would be nee
essary and in any event the physician
stated that this finger would in all
probability be rendered useless.
Monday the child was reported to
be doing very nicely and the wound,
which is painful, to be free from in
fection.
