Hughes Lead Is Admitted;
Roosevelt and Regulars
Nav Combine for Defense

CHICAGO, June 3.-Republican or
ganization leaders admitted tonight
that Charles f. Hughes would get more
votes on the first ballot for the presi-
Dental nomination than any of his COM
petitors. They estimate his strength
on the initial ballot at between IT'S and
225
The organization forces estimated
Roosevelt's first ballot strength at less
than $50, but admit that his vote will
grow when the favorite son candidates
begin to drop out of the race.
This situation, it is said, may lead
to temporary combination of interests
between the organization and friends
Of Roosevelt to fight Hughes in the
early hours of voting in the convention.
What will happen after the first few
ballots are taken and the favorlte son
candidates begin quitting the race no
body seems able to predict at this
time. There are outward Indications
that the Roosevelt men and the Or
ganization republican leaders are paw
ing the way for possible harmony later
by numerous talks of an informal char
acter between representatives of each
group. While no definite understand
ing regarding a program has been
reached. both sides express the hope
agreement later.
The organization is said to be count
ing on the assistance of the Roosevelt
delegates to defeat Hughes and later
to have the Hughes men aid them in
preventing Roosevelt from securing the
nomination. In this way they believe
they may succeed in their plan 10 nom
mate either one of the favorite sons
or a dark horse who will be acceptable
to the progressives.

leader The people know this; they
are calling for him: they are expecting
that the two conventions that are to
assemble here this coming week will

spirit-the leader of reawakened
America.
The chief difficulty in the way of
campaign managers making more de-
finite claims is the fact that only
minority OF the delegates had arrived
up to tonight. 1t was estimated that
about 300 are here. Among those who
arrived today were men from Arizona
and other far western states. The
great influx will begin tomorrow. and
Monday night will find virtually all
delegates and others who expect to
attend the convention on tine ground:

brought vigorous protest from the
friends Of Hughes. who professed to
see in the move scheme to injure the
chances Of their candidate.

interest today was g. suggestion made

the whispers that Mr.. Crane was weak
ening on Weeks, went up to the Mas
sachusetts leader and proceeded. in the

Effect of Preparedness Parade.
There was much speculation in all
the camps as to who will derive bene-
fit from the monster demonstration for
preparedness today. which really
amazed all behoders. That it will
stimulate sentiment in favor of a
strong platform declaration for pre-
paredness is unquestioned. AS to
whether any candidate will benefit
over another is in question.
Roosevelt's men say: I'VE saw 1t
first; it is our pigeon"
Senator Burton, however, is out
strong for preparedness, and now come
others. From Roots headquarters to-
night emanates an interview with
Henry L. Stimson, former Secretary
of War. Mr.. Stimson said:
The republican who stands out be-
yond all others, both in the work that
he has done in the past as secretary OF
