Interpreted as Plea That Hughes
Make Race Even in Face Of
Third Ticket.
VISITOR DENIES ALL RUM0RS
Attacks RooseveIt's Sincerity
and Urges Entire Republican
Party to Support Hughes.

The conference between George w.
wickersham, Attorney General In Presi-
dent Taft's Cabinet. and Associate jus
tice Hughes at the latter home. has
stirred widespread political discussion in
the Capital today.
One report widely credited was that
Mr.. wickersham had come to Washing
ton to plead with Justice Hughes not to
refuse the Republican nomination, IL
rendered. because a third party ticket
may be launched.
Mr.. Wickersham would not admit
this.
Yes. saw Justice Hughes" he said.
II saw several members OF the Su-
preme Court
He insisted that he was not in Wash
ington on a political mission, and said
he talked with no political leaders while
here.
Original Hughes Boomer.
Mr.. wickersham was one OF the orig
inal Hughes boomers. In a prepared
newspaper statement he gave the
strongest Endorsement to Hughes condi-
dacy. and criticised the movement to
nominate Colonel Roosevelt on a third
ticket.

lican." Wickersham said. "can fail to
support Mr.. Hughes II he is made the

In an attack on Colonel Roosevelt, he
said that the perplexity and vague dis
satisfaction over Wilson's foreign policy
has been played on by Roosevelt" add
Ing that many Republicans doubt tho
sincerity Of his rash and violent ex-
Dressions."
Doubt has been widely expressed as
to whether Justice Hughes would ac-
cept the Republican nomination If
Colonel Roosevelt were nominated on
the Progressive ticket.
Il was to stiffen Justice Hughes reso-
luton, many politicians believed to-
day. that Mr.. Wickershan: came to
the Capital to interview the prospec-
tive Republican nominee.

statement indorsing Hughes. said his

Not Work of Politicians.
This demand Is not the creation Of
political leaders" Wickersham said.

voice of the people. 1t has been given
expression in the movement for

will be because the people have de-
manded IT. not because he or any

! Mr.. Wickersham saws II Hughes is
nominated and makes the race he will
conduct an able campaign. He calls
attention to Justice Hughes public
speeches before going on the bench
as providing a contrast with the vague
and soporific rhetoric of President VIII

Play of Personalities
Is Chicago Sideshow

CHICAGO. June 9.-The peculiar
play of big personalities through the
hurly-burly OF these Republican and
Progressive national convention Is a
little show OF its own.
Every delegate, every big national
figure, everybody connected with the
conclave, take themselves very seri-
ously; yet they do something funny
almost every time they turn around,
Some supply a grin by their speak
ing gestures, their quirks of speech,
their brannerdsms, but always the
show is on, whether In convention hall
or hotel lobby.
Down at the Auditorium is the Pro-
gressive convention with it's chair
man, Raymond Robins. Robins black
warlock is one of the most belliger-
ent things about this exceedingly
belligerent meeting; and II contains

ination OF Hughes and to the eventual
support OF Hughes by Roosevelt.
The fact is that, In spite of highly
belligerent talk from some OF the Bull
Moose leaders. and many of the rank
and file, they have felt for the last
twenty-four hours that the ground was
slipping under their feet.
Bull Moose leaders. deeply attached TO
the Colonel. talk privately in heart
broken fashion over the probability
that in the rund-up Roosevelt will not
take the Progressive nomination and
will be found supporting the Republican
nominee.
1t will be one of the tragedies of poll
tics II the time coTNes when some OF the
rank and file OF the Bull Moose. who
have had supreme confidence In COM
pelling the nomination of Roosevelt by
both parties find II Is impossible. and
that II they continue to go along with
the Colonel they must support Hughes
or some man he consents to support.
1t Is apparent that harmony. or par
tial harmony. can be brought about In
two ways. Roosevelt might come out
at once and eliminate himself and say
definitely whom he would support Or
both conventions may go ahead and
nominate.

The gloom caused by the cold rain
Of the last several days persisted to-
day. rain continuing and chill winds
swept off Lake Michigan. The weather
is getting on the nerves OF the delegates
and everybody else.
Unless the sun of Austerlit shines

ventions end. II will lsok like an In
suspicious beginning OF the attempt To

No one need assume that harmony is
assured. II is not. A bomb may eN-
plode any time. Hughes may come Ia
feel he cannot afford 10 run. His
elimination would cause a great shat
terng of plans.
The radical Bull Moose are deter
mined to put n nomination up to Roose-
welt, and things might happen to make
him accept 1t. But II cannot be denied
that there is a growing desire among

CHICAGO. June e.-The resolutions

ton, which sat most Of Thursday, after
subcommittee had evolved draft
OF the platform in an all-night session.
had an animated time OF It in over
hauling the subcommittee report.
The subcommittee was composed or
majority OF Old Guard Republican
Senators, and what 1t said on certain
subjects didn't please the main COM
mittee. That is. the resolutions COM
mittee as a body insisted on revising
some OF the planks. Senator Lodge
was chairman OF the subcommittee and
also of the main committee. As to most
OF the propositions brought up IN the
main committee, members said lateS
there was fair opportunity given Tor
discussion.
Preparedness Plank.
The preparedness plank commanded
much notice. This was to some extent
strengthened by the main committee.
The subcommittee. however, had
provision for universal military train
ing. This frightened the main commit
tee as likely to be criticised as mill
taristic. 1t was stricken out, and to
weakened. Senator Fall OF New Mexico
was supremely interested In a strong
Mexican plank, and succeeded in get
ting II.
Senator Lodge wanted a plank in
serted for restriction of immigra ton
on basis of the literacy test. The
main committee refused to stand for
1t. 1t appeared in the subcommittee
draft.
Discussions in the main committee
were decidedly animated. Much de-
bate centered about the question of
protection of labor. Senator oliver
was not keen for anything on this
subject, but the committee did not
take his view OF 1t.
Nor would the main committee stand
for a straight ship subsidy plank. II
spoke in general for development OF
the merchant marine, but did not COM
NIT itself to subsidy.
d. C. Eliminated.
One of the planks which caused
discussion was a subcommittee prop
osition that officials of the Territories
and the District of Columbia should be
residents thereof. After a fight in
the main committee the District OF
Columbia was eliminated from the
plank. In other words. the convention
| did not go on record as insisting on
local appointments in the District OF
| Columbia.
Suffrage. Americanism. and en-
barge on munitions were other feat
ures of the platform which came In
for much discussion. Senator La Fol.

That was what peace waited on to-

sion several hours at the Chicago
Club. While the names of a numbe
OF candidates were considered, the
situation which presented itself in q
general way was this:
All Hughes and Roosevelt.
The Bull Moose conferees wanted
Roosevelt and urged his nomination.
The Republicans for the most part
talked Hughes, though other candidates
were also discussed.
Fusion could not be agreed on but II
was agreed that the interests OF the
country demanded the defeat of the
Democrats and that there was no essen
tial difference in the purpose OF the two
parties at this time. 1t was decided to
