The announcement of Senator Weeks
withdrawal followed closely on the
news that Sherman had released his
delegates The decision of the Weeks
candidates, and in the case of Illinois
to support Justice Hughes, became
known early and had a potential in
huence in deciding the course of the
followers of other favorite-son candi-
dates.
Senator Weeks announced without
hesitation that he would no longer con-
tinue the fight. and when pressed for a
statement, said simply that he Informed
his supporters that while he greatly
appreciated their loyalty. he desired
for some other candidate.
Still Loyal to Weeks.
A large part of the Massachusetts
delegation indicated that they would
stay with Weeks until the end, but it
is understood that his supporters from
other states generally will be for JUS
tic Hughes. No one would undertake
to speak specifically for Senator Fair
banks followers. but it is quite well un-
derstood that they will not longer press
the senator's candidacy.
Involved in his case is the question
of the vice presidency and even the SEN
atorial race in Indiana. Two senators
are to be elected in that state this year.
and in whatever the Indiana delegation
does it will have regard to this fact
The leaders, therefore. are anxious that
the former Vice President should be
again asked to allow his name to be
used for this Office. believing that with
him on the national ticket the election
of two republican senator's from the
Hoosier state would be practically as
sured
At last accounts they had received
nothing from him or his closest friends
indicating that he would accept the
nomination for second place. Under
the circumstances we have just got to
have him. and Well make him take it

There was little routine business dur

changes. A fight to insert prohibi-

was somewhat stormy. Several of the
chairmen implied that Chairman Per-

of Louisiana resented the criticism.
Miller left the room, but was persuad-
to return. Parker declined to ad-
dress the meeting.

to nominate. and that he looked for a
recession in the Hughes strength on
succeeding ballots

Predicts Early Nomination.
William Allen White of Emporia,
Kan. predicted that before the pro-
gressive convention was in session five
minutes Col. Roosevelt would be nomi-
mated. The southern delegates in the
conference put up strong fight
against a merger with the republicans
and contended for preserving the pro-
sressive party as a political entity.
II was understood that senator Smoot
had submitted a proposal to the pro-
SresSives which was placed in writing
While IL was felt in some quarters

EIGHT MONTHS IN WAR
 NOW FEARS SPANKING

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-A mans growth of beard failed to hide the boyish happiness of 16-year-old Robert Vincent as he arrived here after eight months along the fight ing front in France. The lad, whose father is Dr. John Vincent, a prominent physician of Boston, ran away from home last April. He took passage on the Arabic and was penniless when he arrived in Liverpool.
 1t took me nine days to walk to London" said the youth. q tried to enlist in the Kings Royal Rifles, but they refused me because I looked too young. I took the train to Folkestone, crossed the channel to Boulogne, and finally arrived in Paris.
 Now, say, don't write this, pleaded the youthful adventurer, but I told them I was the nephew of prominent American. That satisfied the inquisitive 'ginks' for while. They put me in the Boy Scouts. For two months I was taught how to ride horseback and on motorcycle. Finally they sent me to the front.
 T was put to work carrying mes.
 :ges between English and French generals. Take it from me, I saw some fighting. After several weeks they found out that .r. erican so they sent me to a deten. tion camp at Boulogne. Finally the consul at Calais got permission from the State Depart ment to send me home. Here am and take it from me I certainl, am glad"
 The boys happiness was uncon- fined yet he expressed fear owe. the reception awaiting him at home Tho he had tempted death tim, and again On the battlefront h' showed nervousness at any refer ence to his father.
