HUGHESTWOT0ONE
OVER ROOSEVELT
IN VERMONT
First Primary Shows Decided Pre-
ference Of Republicans
LITTLE OPPOSITION TO WILSON
Available Returns Indicate Little Diff
ference of Sentiment Throughout
State.

Based upon returns from the more
important towns of the state and upon
complete figures from three counties,
the first presidential preference pri-
mary in Vermont has resulted in an
expression for Charles Il. Hughes as
republican candidate for president.
That Roosevelt is by no means elm
mated as factor in state politics is
shown by the substantial vote he re-
ceiyed in the various towns
Undoubtedly the supply of Hughes
stickers provided for number of
towns had great deal to do with the
strength which Hughes showed
Weeks and Root received scatter
ing votes throughout the state, most
towns listing their strength under
scattering" except in Rutland coun-
ty where vote of 55 was counted for
Root.
In many towns the Roosevelt vote
was divided, one-half being registered
on the republican and one.half on the
progressive ballot.
Among the towns which showed
more Roosevelt votes than Hughes
votes were st. Adams, Springfield,
Swanton. Morristown, Barton, Ludlow,
Newport, Windsor, Wallingford,
Shrewsbury. Mount Holly and Middle
town Springs.
SO far as delegates to the state con-
yention are reported, they are largely
for Hughes, although none of them, so
far as reported, were instructed to
support any special candidate. The
so-called "old guard" largely predom-
mates in delegations so far reported.
Springfield sent three Roosevelt dele
gates, one Root and one Weeks dele,

Windsor delegates We're instructed
to present the name OF George o.
Gridley as delegate to the Chicago
convention, ST. Johnsbury to support
Theodore n. Vail, Montpelier to sup
port Hugh J. NJ. Jones and Springfield
to support F. H. Babbitt. Few other
instructions were reported except sew
eral delegations in Rutland county be-
ing instructed for Col Z. r. Morse.
The vote in some of the larger towns
of the state was as follows.

FATE OF EASEMENT
MOVED TO HIGHER
TRIBUNAL
Preliminary Hearing Ends After
Brief Hearing Today
NATURE OF DEFENCE UNKNOWN
Counsel May Attempt to Prove Ser
geant Bailey Was Ignorant of Real
Nature of Expedition.

London, May 17.-The cases of Sir
Roger Easement and of Daniel j.
Bailey, the Irish sergeant, charged
with treason, will now go to the high
court If convicted they will probab.
ly be executed. The presiding magis-
trate at the Bow-street court, where
the preliminary hearings have been
held, made this announcement after a
brief session this forenoon.
What the nature of the defence to be
presented by Easements attorneys
will be continues a mystery. Counsel
for Bailey will probably endeavor to
show that the sergeant had little
knowledge of the alleged plotes Of
Easement and they will endeavor to
prove that the soldier disclosed the
presence Of the expedition on the Irish
coast to the British authorities as soon
as he became aware of its purpose.
London, May 17.-Sir Roger Case
ment and Daniel ]. Bailey, who for two
days past have been undergoing pre-
liminary examination in the Bow
street police court in London on the
charge of high treason in connection
with the recent Irish revolt, will proba-
bly, know today whether they will be
placed on trial for their lives in high
er court. The attorneys for the crown
virtually concluded the introduction of
evidence yesterday and unless the de-
tense has some surprise in store it is
believed the hearing will be concluded
and the magistrates decision whether
the prisoners shall be held for trial
will be given today.
Legal experts who are following the
case expressed last night the opinion
that there was small doubt that Sir
Roger and Bailey would reserve their
defense for the higher court.
After the hearing had been in
progress for some time, Easement
turned his attention from the testi-
mony to the writing of a long state
ment. 1t was while thus engaged
that he showed marked emotion for
the first time since the hearing began.
Whatever was the nature of his
thoughts they were such that they
moved to tears. He wept quietly as
he worked away with his pencil. 1t
was a striking change from the smil'
ing and self.confident man OF short
time before.
