Chatin cey took care that It did not remain a eecrct. t Then in the midst of the disorgan ized mass of humanity which was tramping the aisles clamoring for a chance to reach Heats. emerRed John McUrath, Mr. Roosevelt's abbreviated but athletic secretary. Those, "In thu know" knew that John's presence meant .word from the colonel. There was hurrying to and fro and wild inquiry as to what was going forward. Bmoot and Crane Get Busy. Uy the time John got to the plat form most of the Insiders had heard that the colonel had offered bodge aa an acceptable substitute for himself the nominee of the convention. Smoot and Crane, who have been on the bridge since the beginning of this weary voyage, immediately got into act ion. There was much looking for Lodge, tnit L.O'lne was not to be found. In a little while, however, after Hitchcock had been sent out on scouting duty, the chiefs knew that the Lodge sug gestion would make no difference. Lodge is not exactly a tnun to start anything -particularly a stampede. .And thorough se;i n h revealed that he wan not in I he house trying to work up u boom for himself.

The delegate came instantly to or der. They were tilled with expecta tion. Some of them, having heard ru mors of all sorts fly. lit; round, hoped against hope that a row of .some kind might he on. When SVnalor Smoot, at the request of the i hair, walked .town the liridge ami confronted the cl.-!ei;;i trs with .1 -heaf of paper in Ins hand, there wan breathless silence. lie said.

There was an Interval of well-bred applause. When this had subsided Senator Smoot observed that in his opinion Mr. Hughes had the character and ability needed in such a candidate srid' that he was available, first,, he laus'e be was supported by the present governor .f .New York and the ma jority of the New York delegation; second, because he had been removed by his judicial position from any par t'cipatlon In the frig lit fulness ()f 1U12 whloh hail sundeted pie parly and made dangerous enmities.

The delegates were interested, but rot enthusiastic. The crowd in the gallery began searching the Massa chusetts delegation for Lodge, evi dently expecting that he would rise and blush and bow. But Lodge was not among his brethren.

"The chair," said Senator Harding in a voice bigger than the need of the occasion really demanded, "an nounces that the t ext order of busi ness is the taking of a ballot. Refore the baltot is proceeded with, tn-; cnair hiis great pleasure in introducing Sen ator Weeks. Weeka Wear Beaiffned Air. All eyes shifted to Senator Weeks, who was observe-d directly behinJ the chairman, a large powerful man, with a moustache, a bald head and the same air of resignation that lay like a pall over the whole place. Real cheers broke out now. Weekr' presence meant that the Massachu setts boys were to be set free of the trammels of the primary pledge. It became apparent that somebody would be, nominated and there wou'd soon be 'a chance to get out into the open air. "It Is quite apparent,'" said Senator Weeks, "that this convention pro fers another than I as Its candidate Not wishing to delay the proceedings, 1 therefore withdraw and ask the men who have supported me to follow the dictates of their own conscience. And I hope they will join me in doinr their utmost for the candidate of this convention. Ho Scare On Weeka. As certain sounds, indicating sym pathy were heard in various parts of the huge auditorium. Senator Weekr, took a step toward the delegates and rried: "And I want you to know there are no political scars on me." the Progressives, but who is still strong for his former chief.

Wadsworth arose and an nounced that New York's 87 votes were for Hughes. Because of some hitch or mistake. T. Colman l)u Pont got five votes out of South Carolina's eleven, the re maining six going to Hughes. Utah split 7 to 1 between Hughes and the colonel, and the rest of them. Including Hawaii, Alaska and the far away Philippines scrambled into the refrigerator as fast as the votes could be called. Ho Enthnalaam to Barn. It was felt distinctly necessary to hold a "demonstration'' when the re sult was announced. The scene that followed, however, demonstrated only that Republicans are willing to nomi-l nate Mr. Hughes if they have to. but j refuse absolutely to become fanatical about him. I John Wanamakcr, veteran of many conventions and campaigns and a strong and commanding figure, nomi nated Charles Warren Fairbanks for vice president, speaking for Pennsyl vania. Then there was real shouting, for the Republicans like Fairbanks, who is a willing performer in cam paigns and a wise counsellor in times of party trouble. There was no opposition and the nomination was by acclamation. Indiana Always Oeta Something'. Great was the rejoicing in Indiana, which has played the shrewdest poll tics of any of the delegations, her poli ticians imbibing a taste for that avocation with their mothers' milk. As the Tall Sycamore's nomination was formally recorded, a jealous Ohio an observed: "Indiana never comes to a national convention without taking something home. Sometimes it is a candidate for president, sometimes it is a vice president, sometimes It is only a cou ple of bath towels and a few cakes of soap from the hotel, but it is always something.'' Whereupon there were more cheers and good hearty ones. Hardly had Weeks left the speakers' platform before up hopped Congress man Rodenberg of Illinois for the pur pose of unleashing the Illinois 68 who had been voting aa a unit for Law rence Y. Sherman, their senior senator. Mr. Rodenberg said he had been re quested to say that Senator Sherman deeply appreciated the loyalty of the Illinois delegates, but that he now cheerfully released them to take what ever course they would with regard to the nomination. The Illinois dele gates seemed glad to be free. They stood upon their chairs and yelled lor li seconds. McCormlck Qnlta &ooaivelt. Then,, among them rose Medill Mc Cormick, who tollowed T.

Hughes and he bespoke, fo: that gentleman all the energies of the delegates there present. Then began the roll call and In stantly it was apparent that all would soon be over. Colonel Oeta a Few Votea. Alabama which had scattered her vote gave the whole 16 to Hughes. Arizona tossed some of hers to Roose velt, but later withdrew them. Cal ifornia turned her whole 26 into the Hughes column. Then came Colorado-I and "Big Steve." otherwise known as Archie Stevenson, who was chauffeur of the steamroller four years ago, but who this year has been a T. U. boom er, rose ponderously to make an an nouncement. While a chair bottom bellied under his 450 pounds, Mr. Stevenson said he represented all the Roosevelt dele gates in the convention and that it was their unanimous wish that th.9 name of the colonel be withdrawn. Few E-ran Snow Struggle. Arizona, rebuked by this generosity on the part of the vast Coloradan, straightway took back her Roosevelt votes and handed them to the Justice. Delaware, supposed to be solid for Du Pont, wheeled Into line with six more. o it wen. tin Illinois was reached. Her 58 votes were delivered to Hugnes wltnout a speech or a struggle. Then came two favorite son states, Indiana which Is always for Fairbanks, and Iowa, which is al ways for Cummins. Both of them proved to be solid for Hughes, with delegations of 30 and 26 respectively. These three "I" states are always pivotal in a presidential campaign and their unanimity cheered up the dele gates to a. very noticeable extent. One by One They rail in Una. One by one the sovereign common wealths wheeled into the Hughes line until Maryland was reached. Maryland had one vote for Roosevelt and deliv ered it despite "Big Steve's" with drawal of the colonel's name. Massa chusetts, emancipated by Weeks, gave him one vote notwithstanding. She gave the colonel three and turned In the rest, 32 in number, to Hughes. Michigan, which came here for Henry Ford, had already changed to Hughes 28 of her 30 votes. Today she made a job of it and gave him the other two. Minnesota thought enough of the colonel to give him three and a half. Montana gava him one that of Joe rtrIrann1 thn Im Hark in Ihn Remit.
