HUGHES MAY RUN
FOR SENATE IN N. Y.
Reported Ready to Contest
Primary With Wadsworth.
Given Dinner.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE

BY far the most interesting piece
of Washington political gossip of
the DreCongresSional season revolves
around the reported plans of Charles
S..ns Hughes. The Secretary OF
State in the Harding and Coolidge
cabinets Is said uo have his eye on
the New York Republican senatorial
nomination in 1926. If he enters the
lists. MIR. Hughes will contest the
primary election with the incumbent
Senator James W. Nadsworth. jr
Mr.. Wadsworth is the official leader
of The Republican party in the En-
pire State. Victory over him would
make Hughes not only the sena-
torial candidate of the G. o. p. but
its titular head in the State.
If the former Secretary of State
achieves the purpose attributed to
him, Mr.. Hughes would become a
formidable contender for the 1;epub-
lican presidential nomination in 19oS.
Although he will be 66 years old IN
April of that year. Mr.. hughes II
today in the prime of physical and
mental viSor. With the care he is
accustomed to take of himself his
age three years hence prospectivefy
would not put him in Nhe ineligible
class. During his recent appear
ances before the United States Su-
preme Court in Washington MIR.
Hughes impressed everybody with his
almost youthful buoyancy. He Is
manifestly enjoying thoroughly his
return to the active practice of his
profession.
Will Be Honor Guest.
On the evening of November 10, at
an Armistice eve dinner in New York
City. Mr.. Hughes is to be rendered
the first public honors bestowed upon
him since his retirement from the
secretaryship of state last March.
The dinner was organized for that
special purpose. The former foreign
minister of the United States will be
toasted by q distinguished predeces-
sor in that Office. Elihu Root. The
only other speaker will be Mr..
Hughes himself. 1t may be that the
function will turn out to be the open
ing gun in the fight for Senator Wads-
worths seat.
That Mr.. Hughes still regards him
self in politics Is shown by the vigor
with which he has thrown himself
into the bitter New York mayoralty
campaign just drawing to a close.
At the time of Secretary Hughes
resignation early in 1925 it was a
matter of common report that he left
the cabinet mainly in order to be
free to promote his presidential am
bitions. Mr.. Hughes himself refused
to confirm this talk. of course. assert
ing that the desire to rebuild his per
sonal fortune was the sole cause of
his return to private life. But his
friends know that the Republican who
lost the presidency in 1916 by the
single electoral vote of California has
always felt in his heart that he ought
to have another chance at the White
House under less treacherouS condi-
tons than those which overthrew him
nine years ago.

which is declared to have attained
such q serious aspect that Gen. Sar-
rail. the French high commissioner.
has requested $4,000 reinforcementS
with which to overcome the attacks
of the natives.
Even in official circles. the silence
of Gen. Sarrail in reporting COM
pletelv on the situa ton has caused
considerable irritation and open criti-
cism of him. This is due to the
premier's admission before. the
chamber committee on finance that
there were more than 5000 casual
ties in last weeks fighting between
the French and Druses.
Yesterday evenings conference be-
tween Premier Painleve and Presi-
dent Doumergue dealt with the ad-
visibility of recalling Sarrail. The
newspapers, in admitting that dur
ing the revolt in Damascus on Octo-
Der 19 the loss of life was heavy and
the destruction great, call for the
removal of Sarrail.

Order Reported Restored.

Order has been restored, says a
report received today from Sarrail.
Denying reports that the women and
children were evacuated from the city,
the general says a few persons left at
the time of the bombardment against
fhe insurrectionists on October IS, but
that they are returning.
The only troubles, he declared. were
caused by bands of brigands outside
Damascus. and measures are being
taken against these.
A dispatch from Alexa ndria, Egypt,
Yesterday asserted that the rioting in
Damascus had it's origin in the action
of the French troops in parading
through the streets of the city with
bodies of rebels who had been killed in
fighting in the neighborhood. Refugee
Syrians arriving from Beirut were
quoted as authority for this state
ment.
The number killed in the rioting was
in the thousa nds.
5000 Reported Slain.
BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PARIS, October 29.-rhe entire
Paris press, regardless of political col
or. devotes editorials and front.page
articles to the Syrian situation. which
is considered extremely grave. with
the prospect of growing worse in the
near future.
The death toll at Damascus is very
great, unofficial reports mentioning as
many as 5000 killed or wounded. 1t
is not the loss of human life. however,
which excites the Arabs to frenzy.
but the fact that for the first time in
history Christian soldiers dared to
lombard the Holy City and drop
bombs on the famous Senayeh
Mosque, which contains, among other
venerable relics. the rock on which
Abraham made his sacrifice.
This jewel Of oriental art, which. in
spite of the political vissicitudes of
the East. has been preserved intact
for 500 years, is reported to have been
damaged by French shells. Naturally
such an act is bound to have. a tre-

Mussulmans of Syria and neighboring
districts. all of which are under Chris

for Ann Arbor to prepare for the
Spring practice at Michigan.
Yost and Harvey Emery, who have
been directing the Princeton practice

the experiment and anxious to have
Bill Roper and AL Wittmer attend
practice at the Middle Western insti-
tuition.
At the informal luncheon given to
the visiting coaches by DR.. Charles w
Kennedy, chairman of the Princeton
board Of athletic control, Yost COM
mented on the growth of intercollegi-
ate athletics and the change in faculty
attitude toward it.

he said. Now in 95 per cent of the
colleges and universities of this coun-
try I believe that athletics constitute
an integral part of the educational
system.
"Strict rules of eligibility and a COM
mon understanding are necessary foi
friendliness in undergraduate competi-
ton. We must maintain a sense OF
proportion in our direction of athletics
Our task is not to produce the best
technical game as such, but to produce
the best game with the material which
we have at our disposal-namely, the
men who come to our universities tC

MARSHALL In DRAW;
TORRE WINS MATCH

BADEN April 18.-Both
of the American representatives in the
international chess masters tourna-
ment at the Kurhaus here went
through the second round undefeated,
8 out of a total of 10 games decided,
are credited with ] Il points each.
Whereas Frank J. Marshall, the
United States champion, won his game
Thursday, he had to be satisfied with
a draw against Spielmann of Austria
yesterday. Marshall had the black
side of Petroff defense, which fol.
lowed well-known lines to point
where the position was so even that
they agreed upon a draw after 19
moves.
Carlos Torre, the New York State
champion. who also had the black
pieces and resorted to the French de-
fense, was successful in winning from
j. W. Kolste of Amsterdam in a com.
paratively short game of IS moves
The young Mexican outcombined his
adversary soon after the opening had
been left behind, and won piece
which gave him an overwhelming
advantage.
The only one of the 21 competitors
with a better score than the Ameri
cans is A. NiemZowitsch of Denmark
who defeated DIR. Tarrasch of Muen-
chen in consequence of a blunder by
the latter, who had the black side OF
an English opening. This game lasted
27 moves. Niemzowitsch is the only
one with a clean slate of two
victories.
