HUGHES STILL SILENT
ON NOMINATION TALK
Won't Discuss Rumor That ne
Is Preparing Statement.


WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-Arousing the
most intense interest among pclitlcians'
particularly those on the band wagons
of several booms, rumor was current
to-day that Justice Hughes was writing
a statement which would say that he
would not take the nomination for the
Presidency, even II 1t were offered by
a unanimous Republican convention.
Justice Hughes long ago reached the
point of refusing to comment on any
thing connected with the nomination
bn. One of his close friends stated pos
;tively tonight that he knew the JUS
tice was giving no consideration 20 any
thing political and was neither writing
q statement nor thinking of doing so.

WOmen'S Embargo
Plea StirS Attack
on War Traffic.
RANK HYPOCRISY,
ASSERTS KENYON
Democrats and Republi-
cans Echo His Jingle
of the Dollar"

Washington, Jan. 27.-An outburst OF
eenunciation against shipment of Amer
ican-made war munitions to European
belligerents stirred the Senate to-day.
rejecting a revival of sentiment which
may force a vote upon embargo reso-
lutions that have been pending in COM
mittee for several months.
A dozen Senators, Democrats as well
as Republicans, assailed the munitions
traffic, while those who have sided with
the administration in its stand that an
law were for the most part silent.
A petition for an embargo, bearing
more than a million signatures, started
the debate. A test vote at one time
seemed inevitable, but it was averted
after much parliamentary manGuvring
by reference Of the petition to the For
eign Relations Committee.
Petition Sent by Women.
Senator Kenyon, Iowa, Republican,
presented the petition, which had been
sent to the Senate by the organization
of American Women for Strict Neutral
ity.
The petition expressed earnest pro-
test for humanitarian reasons against
the expectation from this country OF
the things which kilp for the use OF
the nations engaged in the present cor
fict," anc added:
Germany did not permit her citizens
to sell arms or munitions OF war TO
Spain during our war with that ma
ton"
Senator Kenyon characterized the
sale Of munitions abroad as a cold
blooded, money making proposition,
and denounced the policy of praying
for peace on Sundays and selling
weapons Of war on week days as rank
hypocrisy.
"The signers Of these petitions are
not pro-British, not pro-German, but
they are pro-American, pro-humanlty,
pro- o-Christianity," he said. "The tre-
mendous shipment of things to kill
people with is not prompted by hu-
manity."
Neutrality Breach Suggested.
An embargo was vigorously urged also
by Senators Hitchcock, Clapp, Works,
Ashurst, Lane, MARITIME and La Fol-
lette. Other Senators who spoke in
favor of en- embargo were Clarke. Of
Arkansas; Clark, Of Wyoming; Smoot
and Townsend.
Senator Stone. chairman of the For
cign Relations Committee. before
which the embargo resolutions are
pending, said he had opinions on the
merits of the issue, but thought this
was not the time 10 discuss them.
Senator Robinson was the only Sena-
tor who expressed himself rs actually
opposed to an embargo, insisting that
it might return TO plague the United
States in time of conflict with other
nations.
Not Neutral, Says Townsend.
at is an open secret that we have
not been exactly neutral" said Senator
Townsend ave are regarded by many
European countries now as being one
of the Allies as a result of our con-
tinued shipment of arms"
Senator Works. Republican. and au-
thor of another embargo resolution.
urged the embargo "in the interest Of
the United States" Most of the COM
plications that have grown up between
US and foreign powers have resulted
from this trade in munitions" said he.

nefarious business the people on the
Lusitana would not have lost their
