Nine newspaper correspondents sat
in the library of Justice Hughes. wait
ing for the expected flash which would
announce the nomination of a Justice
of the United States Supreme Court
for the presidency. and it struck one
of them that the room should contain
the keynote to the character of
Hughes. the work man.
There are many other rooms in the
house at the corner of V and 18th
streets, and maybe some of them
might better show other sides of the
man. But here. it seemed. one could.
II one cared. grasp the characteristics
in which America is principally con-
cerned today-the working Hughes,
Hughes the public servant. So one of
them looked about and found many
indications of the real Hughes.
In the first place. the room is on the
ground floor. You walk in the front
door. turn to the right. and you are
in the workshop of the justice. No
stairs to climb, no corners to turn, you
walk straight in. 1t gives one the
impression of accessibility and frank
ness-and of a disposition to put the
or play or social functions.
1t is well lighted. this library of Jus
tice Hughes. Sunlight pours in through
big windows-there are no shadowy
corners. One senses a willingness to
stand in the open in the fact that the
light concentrates on the desk chair
of the Justice.

HUGHES NOMINATION RECEIVED
WITH APPLAUSE IN THE HOUSE

Announcement at the Capitol yester-
day of the republican and progressive
nominations at Chicago interrupted for
time the work of the House. and
provoked lively banter between repub-
licans and democrats over prospects
for victory in the campaign. The Sen
ate was not in session when the an
nouncements came.
Republican leaders here without ex-
ception appeared pleased at the
nomination of Hughes. and did not con-
ceal their hope that Roosevelt's tenta-
tive declination of the progressive
nomination might mean the parties
could unite on the republican nominee.
Mr.. Hughes associates on the Su-
preme Court bench have watched the
work of the convention closely, but
none would comment last night on the
outcome.
Republican Leader Mann announced
the Hughes nomination in the House

When applause from the republican
side had subsidized Representative MUIR
ray of Oklahoma, a democrat, re-
sponded:
''Oh, the convention that will NOM
mate the next President will not meet
until next week"
The raiilery continued for several
minutes until Representative Harrison
of Mississippi announced that the pro-
gressives had nominated Roosevelt.
Then the House proceeded with its
business.
Representative Mann later issued a
statement declaring the seemingly i'm
possible had happened in that the office

Few There When News Came.
When Mr.. Hughes was first informed
of his nomination, through the medium
of The Star, only a small group of
newspaper men was on hand to ascer-
tain what he might have to say to the
public. 1t was in his private apart
ments on the second floor of the house
that the former Justice received the
news. He had sought that seclusion
with his wife. Miss Katherine Hughes
spent the day with a tutor. coaching
her in preparation for entering Welles-
ley College next fall, this being the
college at which Mrs. Hughes was
educated. Little Miss Elizabeth Hughes
was occupied with the playthings of
