Political advisers of President Wilson are elated over the failure of the Re publicans and the Progressives *V) name a Jolffl Presidential nominee. The President's friends are now con fident he will be re-elected. Mr. Hughes' resignation as Asso ciate Justice of the United States Supreme Court reached the White House at 2:40 o'clock. It had been expected momentarily by President Wilson. No official comment has come from the President or the White House, hut the Joy over Saturday's developments in Chicago is freely manifested in Administration quar ters. "Sure thing now," 19 the way in which close friends of the President express themselves. President Wilson kept up almost to the minute on the news from the conventions. His secretary. Joseph P Tumulty, carried the prf*s reports ,X* him sheet by sheet. This was the only public evidence of his cer tain Interest In the outcome of the conversions Only Feared RfKMcrelt. It was cnsclosed today that Presi dent Wllf>on and his polltica.1 advis ers actually feared Colonel R?>so velt as a single candidate more than they did Justice Hughes, although heretofore they have professed a de sire that Roosevelt be nominated. The President's advisers said they anticipated no difficulty In defeating Hughes In November, but would have looked forward to a campaign with Roosevelt running alone with much uneasiness. Now that Wilson has both Hughes and Roos?v*!t In thq field against him, his friends say he will ha.ve "a watk-away."

One enthusiastic supporter ventured the prediction that the President will carry practically every 8ate, except ing only Pennsylvania in his fore cast.
