Hughes Believed Probable

Choice of G. 0. P.; May

Not Finish Voting Until

Saturday.

COLISEUM. CHICAGO. !une o In spite nf the fact

that the conference committee* of the two conventions are

to hold another meeting this afternoon, it was the consensus

of opinion among leader* of the republican national conven

tion today that Justice Hughes will he the party's nominee

It was just as iilOliy believed that the would

never give up the idea of nominating Roosevelt, and indica

tions this afternoon are that there will be three parties in

the field, utiles*, of course, Roosevelt should stamp the nonii

nation of the mpreme court justice with hi* approval and

yield in his favor.

Nominations were begun shortly before noon today, and

the convention enjoyed its first outbreak of old-time en

thusiasm.

Gov. Whitman of New York nominated Justice Hughes

During his speech he mentioned the name of Taft, and

got a real demonstration. Delegates all over the hall stood

up, waved their hats, and yelled wildly. The outburst con

tinued five minutes and was silenced only by the effort* of

the band.

When Root's name was placed before the convention,

Chauncey M. Depew climbed onto his chair and led the

demonstration

The hats of the respective "favorite -ons" then were

hurled into the ring, with lots of oratory, and demonstrations

of varying length. The voting was scheduled to start when

the nominating speeches were concluded.

The greatest demonstration to date came when Whit

man finished his nominating speech at 12:12, not mentioning

Hughes' name until the last words of his speech. I hen the

din broke loose.

The Vermont delegates were the real cheer leaders

They stood on their chairs ami whooped it up strong.

Oregon's Representatives—the only delegates instructed

for Hughes, were hardly second in their enthusiasm.

The band was started in an effort to Mop the noise, but

only succeeded in adding emphasis to the din

Henry G. Beyer of Portland, Me., produced a paper mache

elephant which he carried aloft down the main aisle, causing

another tremendous outbreak The Oregon crowd started

parading on the floor. The Vermont delegates got the fever

at the same moment.

Mississippi camt next, the delegates rooting up their

standard and marching along;, a raving, cheering mob.

Oregon's standard, held aloft, was covered with red

Hughes banners'. Michigan followed next it bring perfectly

apparent from their demeanor that they were not Ford

pacificists, even if instructed to vote for the automobile man

They got a good deal of good-natured kidding as thrv

marched, -ome delegates mockingly adding to the general

uproar by cheering for "Ford."

At 12:19 the demonstration subsided a little and the band

stopped, a little exhausted, but a moment later four New York

delegates, standing on chairs, and led by some one with a

watchman's rattle, organized a cheering gang <-«id rent the

air with shouts of "Hughes! Hughes!" It was taken tip all

over the hall. The one-syllable Irurst forth again and again

ney'! wife. Is on trial, charged

In front of the Sevoy hotel, on

"The progressive conferees

were unanimous In urging, with

BY H. L. RENNICK

United Press Staff Correspondent

AUDITORIUM, CHICAGO,

June 9.—While the progressive

convention held In check its

"Roosevelt today eplrit," Sen.

W. R. Borah of .daho appeared

before the progressive* today

with what many of the dele

gate* believe wa( an "eHyv"*

branch" from the 0. O. P.

When the progressives ro

cessed until 3 p. m. it waa with

the understanding that the

Roosevelt stampede would be

held up until after the pro

gressive and republican c««-

ferees got together this

noon for another session.

Both the progressive and repnV

Mean conventions seem to work

along parallel llnea to the minute.

Telephones between the conven

tion halls notified each of the oth

er's moves snd the conference

business seemed to be conducted

on a clock work schedule.

Borah Makea Speech

Rome of the radicals said the

nomination of Roosevelt will come

tonight unless the republicans

agree to take him.

"1 do not visit you in an official

capacity." Borah said in his

speech "I think I know something

of the spirit of this convention. It

is pretty well known tTiat I have a

deep seated admiration for your

great leader. Theodore Roosevelt."

The crowd went wild.

"We want Teddy," they shouted,

starting the noisiest demonstrattoa

of the day It lasted four minutes.

"There is no doubt," said Borah,

"that Tftu want Teddy.

Must Work Together

"I have no doubt there are mil

lions of people who want him, too.

I can say with entire truth that

you are fortunate in having a lead

er who, in my humble judgment,

has done more than any other 500

men In the I'nited States to make

the issue that this campaign Is

bagrd upon.

"He is accepted as a master of

our international problems.

"But. my friends, let us bear In

mind what these two conventions

Fhall do here will perhaps decide

the destiny of the country for the

next 25 years.

Cry tor Roosevelt

"We can secure results only by

working together.

' I would not be true to ray con

victions if I did not say to you that

it is essential that it shall be de

termined that we shall march to

gether and fight together in this

election.

"Who shall lead us?"

"Teddy," shouted the crowd. "If

your convention and mine should

agree on your great leader," Borah

concluded, "there would be no

more enthusiastic supporter for

Roosevelt than myself."

When Borah took the platform

lie was greeted with cries of, "Now

come on home, Bill."

The delegates were cheering and

singing, as usual, when they enter

ed the hull.

While the conference committed

delayed their arrival, several dele

gates. Including Charles E. Mason

of Maine, were permitted to speak.

Will Delay Nomination

Henry .1. Allen of Kansas, radical

leader, suid his faction had deter

mined to delay the nomination of

Roosevelt until the conference com

mittee had had more time to act,

"We will start, tho. the mlnut*

the republicans begin balloting,"

he said.

The progressive committee reach

ed the Auditorium platform at

11:30 nnd consideration of the

platform was suspended while

Chairman Perkins reported for the

conferees.
