of the minor candidates, these being

five. Weeks with three and I,a Follette

Root. Cummins, Burton and Falr

SOOssTelt's Appeal Ignored.
The nettled determination of the
delegates to name Hughes today and
get the business done ts only
strengthened by a final appeal from
Roosevelt, submitted In a note from
the. Progressive convention.
The rolonel, ns a last peace offer

FAIRBANKS AS
AS ORDERED TO
North Carolina, alone of all the 48
states and three others took the offer
seriously.
That state gave Iodge seven votes of
Jts fourteen.
Probably never In the history of
party government has the naming of a
candidate been so perfunctory aa was
the ""minatljn of Mr. Justice Hughes.
j Entnaslasm X.lks a Claque's.
The taking of the ballot anil the slow
swinglng of one state after another
into the Hughes column was applauded
with the same enthusiasm that marks
the applauding 6f a "plugged" vaudc
ille actor by a claque In the foyer
hired for that purpose.
When the ballot was taken and tho
result was made known, some of the
Hughes delegates arose and paraded
with deep solemnity atjout the hall.
But though flags were swung and
the band played, there were ripples of
shouts only here and there and al times
the silence was broken only by the
shuffling of feet and the buzzing of
conversation. Frank Hitchcock, wno
has supplied most of the craft of the
campaign for Hughes, moved about
among the delegations with sepulchral
seriousness as one who should fay:
The Remains Pat on View.
"Those who wish to view the remains
will please pass to the right."
Murray Crane of Massachusetts,
whose shrewd brain discovered thr.t
Hughes alone was strong enough to
prevent me nomination of Roosevelt,
looked straight ahead of, him and said
nothing. But once or twice he winked.
Governor Whitman of New York,
the only militant Hughes man on
the floor, shot out his Itw in the
particular manner he employs to de
note triumph He did not smile.
Kmoot, long and angular, looked rroni
the platform to Penrose, whose gi
gantic form towered over the heads
of his charges" in the Pennsylvania
delegation. Penrose looked back at
Snioot. Neither of them looked as if
they were especially pleaset: with the
work of the day.
Own Tails Scar Orag-onlang.
The Oregon delegates, refreshed b
the rain which is their native ele
ment, stood on their chairs for a
while and tried to yell. But when
they htard the echoes of their own
voices reverberate from the encirc'
lng rafters they subsided. And soon
the sadness of the occasion infected
all present and the sounds died away
into a dismal sizzle.
When the delegates began stream
ing in this morning it became appar
ent that ail the arrangements for tha
big event haa been completed. The
first man from Illinois to show
brought word that Sherman, the fav
orite son of that stale, had released
his delegates to go whither they
would.

Charles Evans Hughes, plain citizen,

in a declaration of principles.
The former supreme court justice

hours after his nomination by the Re
publican convention as their party
leader by formally tendering his
resignation to President Wilson. The
president immediately accepted.
Hughes declined to comment " on
Roosevelt's action in refusing to ac

Conditional Refusal of Nom

Auditorium, Chicago, June 10. (U.
P.) Colonel Theodore .Roosevelt to
night Informed the Progressive party
that he cannot at this time accept
the Progressive nomination as their
candidate. The colonel's announce

Roosevelt stated that he desired his

Committee to Decide.
The committee, the colonel asked,
should decide whether it be best for
the country for Hughes to be elected,
and lf it did so consider it, treat the
colonel's refusal es definite.
The convention, a few minutes be
fore adjourning, referred the colonel'3
statement to the national committee
with power to act.
If the colonel definitely refuses to

Delegation to
Accept Hughes
If Future Course of G. O. P.
Nominee Commends Him
to Progressives.
Hy Carl Smith.
Chicago, 111., June 10 The Oregon
Progressive delegation is ready to ac
cept Hughes provided his future
course commends him to the Progres
sive party in an aggressive way. The
situation is what the Progressives de
sire, they say. leaving Roosevelt as
the master hand of the coming cam
paign. After Roosevelt's message suggest
ing Senator Lodge as joint nominee
was received the Oregonians cai:
cussed and resolved that if the Re
publicans named Lodge they would
present the name of Hughes as their
candidate "to the Progressive conven
tion, taking the position that witn
Roosevelt out of tiiu running they
would stand on the Oregon primary in
dorsement of Hughes as their second
choice.
Lane Mentioned As
Hughes' Successor
Secretary of Interior Is Suggested
as Likely Candidate for Supreme
Bench.
Washington, June 10. (I. N. S.)
Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the
Interior, stands out tonight as the
foremost possibility among those
whose names have been mentioned as
the successor of former Associate
Justice Hughes on the United Stated
supreme court Tench.
The best judgment of those close to
the president is that he will not delay
the selection of Mr. Hughes' succes
sor. It Is known that Secretary Lane
stands very high in the president's
estimation and 1ms been considered
before for the supreme court.
The name of John w. lavis, solicl-
tor-generali of the department of jus
tice, was also mentioned in adminis
tration quarters. He is regarded by
the president as one of the most able
men in tne orriciai iamlly.
Friends of former Governor Joseph
W. Folk of Missouri, now chief coun
sel for the interstate commerce com
mission, launched his candidacy to
night lor the vacancy.

HUGHES' ACCEPTANCE AS WEAK
It Is Almost Certain the Colonel Will Not Run on a Third
Ticket, and He May Come Out in Support of the Re
publican Nominee if Hughes Will Denounce the German-American
Alliance by Name, He Intimates.
Oyster Ray. N". Y., June 10. (U. P.)
If Hughes will denounce the Ger
man-American alliance by name.
Roosevelt will accept him and take the
stump with the Republicans In an ef
fort to accomplish the greatest desire
he has the defeat of Wilson.
This statement was made confiden
tially tonight, although Colonel Roose
velt would not Issue a formal state
ment for publication.
"No, no pictures. I am out or poli
tics," Colonel Roosevelt declared to a
newspaper photographer 'who asked
him to pose for a picture.
Roosevelt had just finished readme
Justice Hughes' statement of accept
ance when he made this remark In
the presence of a number of news I
atermen. He refused to comment
on the Hughes statement, but told the
reporters he believed there was no
longer any reason why they should
stay at Oyster Bay.
Considers Statement Weak. .
Colonel Roosevelt considers the
Hughes message of acceptance
weak statement.
He clearly showed the . strain of
having Hpent practically all night at
the long distance telephone connect
lng .Sagamore Hill with Chicago. He
lacked his usual vigorous manner In
conversing with correspondents.
Friends believe Theodore Roosevelt
has made his final exit from the field
of politics.
His declination of the Progressive
nomination this afternoon is his vale
dictory. There may be a formal 'word
of retirement later. After the Progres
sive national committee has considered
his communication and acted upon it
Colonel Roosevelt may Issue a brief
statement. But It will only be to make
his retirement certain.
Certain Colonel Wont Bun.
It is as certain tjnight as anything
can be that no action which the Pro
gressive convention may take will in
duce Colonel Roosevelt to run for the
presidency on a third ticket. He is
through.
Whether he will Issue any state
ment in support of Hughes is entirely
problematical. Whether he will take
the stump for him or any other candi
date is altogether improbable.
Colonel Roosevelt has made hla
fight and lost. He will always sup
port the principles for which he ha
contended and his insistence that the
success Is essential to the safety of
the nation will not be abated a Jot.
To TJse Pen But Vot Toloe.
Through his pen rather than by hi
voice he will urge his doctrines in thq
future. J nis is tne view of the fu
ture Colonel Roosevelt that was ob
talned here tonight.
There is a loop hole of course, in the
statement he sent this afternoon to
the Progressive convention. That
statement leaves the situation rather
up in the air. Tne Progressive na
tional committee may express itself as
dissatisfied with the Hughes' declara
tion of principles and insist upon Col
onel Roosevelt running.
