 Republican leaders here. without ex- ception, appeared pleased at the nom- ination of Hughes, and did not con ceal their hope that Roosevelts ten tative declination of the progressive nomination might mean the parties could unite on the republican nominee.
 Republican Leader Mann announced the Hughes nomination in the House. There has been rumor," he said, that the next President of the Uni ted States has just been nominated at Chicago in the person of MT. Justice Charles E. Hughes"
 When applause from the republicans had subsided Representative Murray of Oklahoma, a democrat, responded:
 "Oh. the convention that will nomi- nate the next President will not meet until next week"
