said today - they had assurance from
Hughes, who is now traveling in Eu

Bay that the president would be pleased
and gratified should Hughes be nominated.-.
The announcement .was made
today by one In authority.
The man who made the announcement
said In addition: "We muat nominate a
man this year . whose. Independence is
beyond question. Hughes Is an ideal
man for the situation and will be nomi

assured that he will. Also his nomina
tion will please President Roosevelt"
The man said:--Udell has realised tnat
he could make no progress sgalnst Hlg

was making all the headway. But from
this. day forward Hughes will be used
by the Odell-Platt leaders to fores Hlg

The Berkeley -ampua will not be a city

students of ths state university will be
housed. This Is the Information given
out by President Wheeler after he had
carefully considered the oVowded situ
ation of Berkeley and the .number of
students who were seeking admission
within Ms college doors. The univer
sity authorities havs given up the plan
for looking after the undergraduate
students on account of the congssted
situation here due to the large number
of people from San Francisco who are
new making thle city their home, and
the faculty haa been forced to let every
one help himself.
For a while .president wneeior was
considering the plan of erecting tente
for the use of students, but after In
vestigates thoroughly he has found
that of last year's students there would
be something like 100 who would not
return and as a result there would be
little need of suoh arrangements be
ing mad.
Nevertheless Berkeley le crowded end
