Chicago, June l0.-Justica Charles
Evans Hughes will probably be named
republican standard bearer today with.
in not more than five roll calls. The
call of the party may come to him on
one or two ballots. For his running
mate, any one Of half a dozen favorite
sons may be chosen.
This was the situation early today
when night Of conferences had shown
no concerted opposition against the jus.
tice and no possibility of restoration of
harmony between the G.. o. p. and bull
moose.
On the first ballot today, expected to
come about 1880, Senator Lawrence Y.

Chicago, June l0-Aside from its
immediate political interest, the re-
publican national convention always
attracts attention as o gathering of
men noted in various ways. Many Of
the names Of delegates and leaders
are familiar as those Of men who have
achieved success in various lines,
political and otherwise. For instance,
Theodore h. Burton, former senator
from Ohio and republican presi

second choice deal, it was nevertheless
fair to assume that any one of four
favorite sons would be perfectly willing
to take the vice-presdential nomina-
tion if proffercd.
The campaign manager for one of the
leading ally contestants summed up the
presidential situation thus:
"Sherman has released his Illinois
delegates. AS soon as they switch to
Hughes, Burton 5 delegates in Ohio will
probably follow suit and likewise, the
delegations pledged to CuInmins, except
possibly those From his home state Of
Iowa. This would total 493 l.2 votes,
an increase OF lG5 over the 32S l'2
which the justice polled on the second
ballot last night 1t is fairly safe to
assume that scattering votes, from va
riOus sourees-defleetion from the
Fairbanks, Knox, Roosevelt Root and
Weeks delegates-will jump his total
well above the 494 votes necessary to
nominate.
"The figures given above show only
One-half a vote less than the nu&ber
required" "

There is no doubt the delegates want
