HUGHES SENTIMENT Representatives of Oilier Candidates Now Fear They Are Unable to Control Movement. FEVERISH ANXIETY TO OBTAIN HARMONY Leaders Now Recognize That Unless Republicans and Prog- ressives Get Together All Chances of Suc- cess at Polls Are Slight. Chicago, June 5.—Representatives of the several candidates for the Republican presidential nomination are in a perplexing predicament tonight. Having fostered sentiment in favor of Justice Hughes until they felt sure Colonel Roosevelt defi- nitely was eliminated, they now fear they cannot control the Hughes movement. During the day it grew to the proportion of a boom. Ef- forts are being made to concentrate all elements against it, and the indications are that the veto of the Progressive party, which, of course, means Colonel Roosevelt, disapproval of Hughes, may be sought as a check. Harmony above everything else is desired by the leaders. Without it any nominee would answer the purpose, because it is recognized that unless the Republicans and Progressives get together, their chances of success at the polls are very slight. To obtain harmony, the Republican leaders are willing to concede to Colonel Roosevelt the veto power in some form. Some of the leaders say he should suggest men for considera- tion by convention leaders, and practically all of the party chiefs are willing to admit that any of the candidates definitely rejected by Colonel Roosevelt could not be nominated. Impartial observers within the Republican ranks do not con- sider that the unexpected growth of the Hughes boom is nec- essarily an indication of personal popularity of the Justice among the delegation. Those who promoted it in opposition to what proved to be an exaggerated estimate of the expect- ed demand for the nomination of Roosevelt were surprised at its growth. __ - With the arrival of hundreds of del-\ egates today the sentiment in favor 'naswsjrt vtam UlfflS WORKERS S ORGANIZE! •Gov. Whitman Says People Are Overwhelmingly for the Justice. of Hughes reached high tide, and in spite of the concentration upon him by all of the opposition forces, he ap- peared to he far in the lead. Manag- ers of favorite son campaigns have made no headway to combine against Hughes, because he is the second choice of many of the instructed dele- gates, and trading is dangerous. Every attempt transfer, it is feared, would result in spilling some delegates into the Hughes basket. Unless the situa- tion changes very soon, these dele- gates are almost certain to flop to him, should there be more than two or three ballots without a nomination. All thought of getting a pre-conven- tion statement from Justice Hughes was abandoned during the day. The so-called \smoking out processes\ were unsuccessful. Similar efforts were directed tonight against the Roosevelt people, and a demand was made that the Colonel should come here and take part in the counsels, or place his spokesmen in a position where they could answer the questions of the so-called \allies\ as to what candidate or plan would be acceptable to him to defeat Hughes. It was not believed that any of the demands would be met. Many of the Roosevelt adherents themselves believed the Colonel should come to Chicago. His presence, they thought, would obvi- ate all danger of the Progressive Na- tional Convention getting beyond con- trol. Strangely enough, the old guard leaders would welcome Colonel Roose- velt at this time, as they would prefer to deal with him directly rather than through representatives, as some of them argue that if he could be induc- ed to come here, the union of the Re- publicans and Progressives would be assured. Efforts of the Progressive National Committee today to fix a time for nominations in their convention re- sulted in conflicting statements of what actually had been agreed upon. On one hand it was stated that the nominations would be deferred until Saturday, and on the other hand, it was denied that such a delay had been agreed upon, and that a nomination was possible not later than Thursday. After the Progressive national com- mittee had held its conference, and the leaders had been urged to exert every effort to hold the delegates in check until later in the week, inter- mediaries between Republican and Progressive headquarters began to operate. The result of several pre- limary conferences brought Senator Lodge and Mr. Perkins together. Sen- ator Lodge was told Perkins wished to confer with him on the possibilities of harmony. The conference continu- ed'for nearly two hours. Delegates Pour Into Convention City. Chicago, June 5.—Delegates to the Republican National convention pour- ed into Chicago all day, and tonight it was estimated that very few hun- dreds were not on the ground. Many delegates came quietly, and sought their hotels without display, but the few that brought brass bands and banners and badges of favorite sons, gave a touch of color and some- thing of an holiday air to pre-conven- tion day that has been lacking. It was a retiring delegate who was not buttonholed before lie found his room and supplied with - information about the general situation. The lob by of the hotel where most of the dele- gates stopped was cleared: for action early. Chairs, lounges, palms and other moveable objects, were removed to safe places, and to-night there was nothing on the floor but an excited mass of delegates. On the sidewalk outside, and in oth- er hotels in the same section, the but- tonholing and the whispered conversa tiohs, went on just as vigorously, as preparations were made for the big convention. The routine of arrival and registration was followed by the usual arrangements for state caucus es, at which officers and national com mitteemen will be named. In severa- delegations, New York and Illinois ir (Continued next page.) Chicago, Juno 5.—A Hughes com- mittee, composed of perhaps one him- ired delegates from a score of states, both instructed and uninstructed, was created here today, marking the first -.ten toward a national organization of .he forces that wish to nominate the Justice. The urpose of the committee is to pledge every possible delegate to Justice Hughes before the convention meets, and to stir enthusiasm for him by the use of bands, banners, badges and buttons. The expenses of the committee will be met by public sub iscription, and offers to contribute to the fund came quickly today when the iplan was suggested. Meetings of the committee will be held daily. The next one will be tomorow afternoon, when it was predicted a score of addi- tional states will be represented. Every mention of the Justice's name brought prolonged applause at itoday's meeting, and when Governor 'Whitman, Prank H. Hitchcock and iCol. William Hayward predicted thai Hie would be not only be nominated ibut elected, the delegates shouted ap- proval. Introducing Governor \Whitman John A. Jantzke, of Maryland, chair- man of the meeting, said the governor, as a Hughes leader, would tell the delegates what to do. \It is not my purpose to tell you what to do,\ the governor said. \I wish from my heart that all the states represented in this convention had done as Oregon has done in sending a full delegation here instructed for Justice Hughes. They have shown the entire country what should be done. The Hughes senti- ment is here today, but I feel that it only faintly represents the sentiment that exists throughout the United States. I only wish that the New York delegation was as united for Justice Hughes as is that of Oregon. \The sentiment in New York is over- whelmingly in favor of Justice Hughes. Delegates are not sent here to voice the sentiments of one man. They are here to record the senti- ments of the people. And if the sen- timent- of the people is regarded, I (have no doubt that the action of Ore gon will be the action of the conven- tion. \As one who desires to see the country united on the best man, it is imy opinion that Charles E. Hughes not only will be nominated, but also will be elected the next president of She United States.\ BIG OFFENSIVE HUGE MASSES OF MEN ARE HURLED FORWARD AGAINST ENEMY---THIRTEEN THOUSAND AUSTRIAN PRISONERS TAKEN.

Declare Its Intentions Attri- buted in Capita! to Activity of Foreign Agents in Mexico. Washington, June. 5.—President Wilson and his cabinet are expected to discuss at tomorrow's meeting the reply to be sent to General Carranza's note demanding the withdrawal of the American troops fron* Mexico. While it has been stated authorita- tively that the reply will make clear the administration's determination not to withdraw the expedition unless the Carranza troops have shown both the intention and ability to prevent bandit raids, there are many other questions raised by the note which must be considered. General Carranza's demand that the United States declare its intention to- tribute it to- the activity of foreign agfents in Mexico t City working to. offset President, Wilson's efforts to- ward a closer pan-American relation- ship. They argue that the fact,that American marines haye been employed recently in Nicaragua, Haiti,and the Dominican Republic, and that Ameri- can troops now are in Mexico, may have been used by such agents to dis- count the president's declarations for pan-American amity. Some even as- sert that a campaign is on foot to pre- vent the United States from perman- ently obtaining the trade with south and central America and Mexico, for- merly held in Europe. State Depart- ment officials refused to discuss the ward Mexico, \in the interests of all 'question, and the reply President Wil- Latin America,\ has raised consider- able discussion in diplomatic circles. Some diplomats do not hesitate to at- son will make to the demand for a new expression of disinterestedness has. not been indicated.

MARINE CAPTAIN SHOT BY DOMINICANS VILLA CHIEF PAYS PENALTY FOR HIS. CRIME of the Russians against the Teutonic allies seemingly bas begun. From both Petrograd and Vienna come re- ports that the Russians are actively engaged over a front from the Pripet river, east of Brest-Litovsk, to the Roumanian frontier, a distance of about 250 miles. The Russians everywhere are using large numbers of guns and men, and, according to Petrograd, have achieved, successes in many important sectors, taking 13,000 prisoners, a large num- ber of guns, and destroying or captur- ing Teuton positions. AlOng the Bessarabian front in the Dniester region, along the lower Stripa, and in Volhynia, the Russian attacks have been particularly violent. In the region of Olyka, in the zone of the Volhynian fortress triangle, the Russians guns, have heavily shelled a front more than fifteen miles long, held by the Austrian Archduke Joseph Ferdinand. Around Verdun, bad weather has set in, and as a result, the infantry on- both sides have kept to their trenches, only bombardments taking plaGe. No new changes in position are reported, ground Vaux and Damloup, northeast of Verdun,'the-bombardment on both sides has continued with considerable intensity; -while west of the Meuse the shelling has been- only intermittent. '• On the remainder of the fronts in France, except around Tpres, the sit- uation is reported quiet. About Ypres, however, the Germans and Canadians' are keeping up the violent fighting that has been in progress since last week, when the Germans, under a terrific rain of shells,' captured Cana- dian positions which later were re- taken in hand to hand and bomb en- Sunday, the Germans again forced the Canadians to relinquish the bulk of the recaptured ground, but the Canad- ians are disputing strenuously the ef- forts of the Teutons to oust them from the remainder of the position. Vienna reports that despite the sturdy resistance of the, Italians, the Austrians have made a further ad- vance into Italy in the Cengio zone near Asiago. The town of Ceisana, 5,600 Italian prisoners, 3 cannon and 11 machine guns, as well as 126 bomb throwers, were captured by the Aus- trians, reports from Vienna state. Rome admits the retirement of the Italians in the Cengio sector, but says that in the Balgene Valley, Labarina Valley, and on the Posina front, all Austrians attacks were repulsed with heavy losses. '^^PB . In southern Albania, in the regloTl of Avlona, the Austrians have dispers- ed with their artillery detachments operating in that vicinity. Situation in Black Republic Assumes More Aspect. Serio'as Washington, ' June 5.—Dominican rebels who fled from Puerto Plata and Monte Christi at the approach of American marines have strongly en- trenched themselves outside of the latter town. A dispatch to the state department today from Minister Rus- sel at Santo Domingo, indicated that the situation on the island was more serious than had been believed here. A paraphrase of the minister's .mes- sage follows: \After 24 hours notice, marines were landed on June 1 at Monte Christi and Puerto Plata. The fort at Puerto Plata was occupied after resistance of two hours. One marine and officer probably fatally wounded. Fort and town of Monte Christi occupied without resistance, but rebels strongly en- trenched outside of the town.\ The wounded marine officer was Captain Herbert J. Hirschinger, com- manding the detachment from the battleship Rhode Island, who died at Puerto Plata, June 1. He was shot through the head while directing the landing of men.

TORNADOES TAKE TERRIBLE TOLL IN ARKANSAS Fjfty-Nine Lives Reported Lost and Enormous Prop- erty Damage. Destroyer Reported Lost Reaches Port, London, June 5.—The British torpe- do boat destroyer Acasa, which the German Admiralty claimed had been sunk in the recent battle off fh'e coast of Jutland, has arrived off the mouth of the\. Thames in tow of another de- stroyer. A shell which put the warship out of action, after she had been in the. thick of the fight for forty minutes exploded in the engine room, killing five men. \After that we were helpless,\ said one of her crew, \and with shells fall- ing all around us we expected soon, to be sent to the bottom, but luckily none struck us as we drifted out of the fight.\ Austrians Repulsed, Says Rome. Rome, via London, June*5.—Austrian, attacks in the Lazarina Valley, where a vigorous attempt was made to carry the important Italian positions at Coni Zugna, were repulsed with heavy loss- es, the war office announced tonight. The Austrians were also driven back while endeavoring to advance in the Posina sector, the report stated. PRESIDENT TO ANSWER MEXICO WILL AID CARRANZA TO \KEEP RIGHT\ WITH PEOPLE. Washington, June 5.—The President today began to' draft his reply to the latest note from Carranza. The inten- tion is to have the reply in Carranza's hands before the end of the' week. That the troop withdrawal suggestion will be refused seems certain. The answer will leave Carranza an oppor- tunity to \keep right\ before the Mex- ican people.
