Hughes turned out to be sound on the Issues ot Americanism and pre , , . paredness, and that If Hughea turned Y out to be pactlflstlc, pussy-footed, or pro-uermao ne wouia accept ana make the race as the Progressive can ' didate. Justice Hughes broke all recorda by accepting the nomination by telegraph, without waiting for a formal notifica tion by the regularly appointed com mittee, and declared his position not only On the Issues regarded by Col onel Roosevelt as the teat issues, but also on the other principal questions -raised by the Republican platform. For a long time a third telegram, this one from Mr, Fairbanks declining the Vice Presidential nomination, waa an- tldpated, because he already had sent a private one to that effect, but. In atead, he accepted over the telophone. .rne Conference Committee scheme failed because the Republicans would name no candidate. At the last minute, after every effort to induce them to do so had proved ineffective. Colonel Roosevelt himself proposed union on' Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts.! i The two Conference Committeea - ao reported, but the Progressive Conven tion laid the telegram on the table and the Republicans paid no attention :' to it. - ..

It be known that the Hughes men wanted Burton for second place, Ohio withdrew Burton's name, leav ing the field to Mr. Fairbanks and , . former Secretary Burkett of Nebraska. The ballot for Vice President show- : ed this count: - Fairbanks 863; Eurkett 108; Borah 8; Burton 1; Johnson 1; absent, scat tering and not voting 6. Total 987. Leaders Seen Satisfied. At 2:01 p. m. the convention ad journed. There were expressions of harmony from all the leaders and among the delegates. The delegations whlch-on the final ballot had cast : votes for others than Mr. Hughes made statements declaring their loy alty to the nominees. V "Six months ago," said Chairman nines oi ina naugDW vumuiiiiw, I said a nominee would be born In the convention, and he was." "I am very much pleased, of course," said Mr. Hitchcock. "It means a re united Republican party and victory In November." ' The nomination of Mr. HugheB was made possible so soon by an over night break up of the allied favorite sons' combination which early in the morning released Its delegates, prac tically all of whom were known to favor Mr. Hughea when freed from their Instructions. ? v Favorite Sona Withdrew. 1 . : When the convention . began busi ness shortly before noon the with drawal ot the favorite sons waa an nounced one after another and the votes began flopping into the Hughea column In solid blocks so rapidly that ' the nomination plainly was assured before the roll call bad gone five 1 states. When It cot to Colorado the , i drift waa so apparent that a proposal . to make It unanimous was made, but - ChalrmaTi Harding ruled-that the bal loting should take awegular courser Greeted By Valla. . . - r ' Each addition to the Hughes col , , nmn was greeted by yells of exulta - . tion from the rapidly accumulating Hughes delegates' and steadily state by. state the votes piled up-until New ' Jersey carried It past the required 494 and the remainder formality. In rapid succession aa the vote went on Du Pont waa withdrawn by Del aware and his solid block was cast for Hughes; Illinois 'withdrew Sher man; Ohio withdrew Burton; Iowa withdrew Cummins; New Tork with drew Root; Maasachusetta withdrew Weeks. Practically all ot these new votes were caat tor Hughea, only a few remaining In compliment to the favorite sons who brought them. Candldatee Pledge Support. Then one after the other. Senator Weeks and Senator Lodge took the platform pledged loyalty to the nom inee and asked all their supporters to do likewise) Similar announce ments were made from all the favor Its sons delegation. , . Burton Goea to Fairbanks. . With the end ot the balloting for the presidential nomination and the official announcement the balloting for Vice President began. There were some surprise when Governor Willis of Ohio withdrew Burton's name and cast the whole block of Ohio vote for Fairbanks. After Chairman Harding had offi cially announced the nomination of Fairbanks, the nsual resolutions were passed. Chairman Hlllea . called a meeting ot the new National commit tee for organization, and the conven tion adjourned.' -y '; Notable Convention. The convention waa notable In po litical history for many things. A man who tad steadfastly refused o seek the nomination had been chosen; it waa the first Republican convention since 1888 which had been forced to take more than one ballot to agree upon candidate, and it had been marked by a lack of riotous demon stration - and nervous enthusiasm which hitherto bad been a feature ot Such gatherings. It did not touch any of the existing records tor sus tained demonstrations, but despite the fact that it was wholly and decid edly "unbossed;" It moved with a pre cision and quietness which had not been equalled since the McKInley con vention In Philadelphia. ROOSEVELT DECLARES THAT . HE IS OUT OF POLITICS. Oyster Bay, N. Y. Theodore Roose velt reiterated that he Is out of poll tics. - - .'. - . : ..- "I want to tell you newspaper men," he said, "that It's no use for you to come here to see me. I will have nothing to say. I will answer no ques tions, so please don't ask me to. I am out of politics." " If the former President baa any plans for the Immediate future other than to continue his literary work, be has not made them public. A flood of telegrams has been re ceived, It waa announced that most of them approved his action In de clining to become a candidate upon the Progressive ticket, " i. While Colonel Roosevelt would not discuss the question his intimates considered it altogether unlikely that he would reconsider his conditional refusal to head a third ticket He has not yet made It clear whether or not he will support the candidacy of Mr. Hughes.

ALSO GUNS AND MUCH BOOTY Gsnsral Tsehltshyn't Faroe Alone Took 18,000 Austrlans. Turks At tacks In Caucasus Repulaed With "Enormous Lessss. Patrbgrad, via London. Continuing their offensive movement adds, over whelmed the Austrian troops, took prisoner 409 officers and 36,000 men, says the official statement issued here. The Russlana also captured 80 guns and an enormous quantity of booty. The army of General Techltskyn alone, operated In the direction of Czernowits, Bukomlna, the atatomenla adds, overwhelmed the Austro-Hungar-lans and took 18,000 prisoners. Since the present offensive waa started one week ago, the Russians have tuken about 108,000 prisoners. "Our offensive in Volhynla. Gallcla and Bukowlna, have obtained fresh successes. The enemy armies con tinue to suffer enormous losses in prisoners alone. "The fierce attacks of our troops are throwing Into our handa thous ands upon thousands ot prisoners and booty of all kinds, the exact estima tion of which is as yet Impossible. "For Instance, In a single sector on the enemy front we captured 21 searchlights, two convoys, 29 field kitchens, 47 tralna of machine guns, 12,000 poods of barbedwire, (a pood is equivalent to 36 pounds) 1,004 con crete planks, 7,000,000 cubes ot con crete, 10,000 pounds of coal, enormous depots of ammunition and quantities of arms and other material.

"The capture of , such enormous war materials prepared by the enemy for various operations affords proof of how opportune waa our coup. 'The Turks In the Caucasus region repeated attacks on our positions in the Platana region but were repulsed with heavy losses, abandoning . in front of our trenches hundreds of dead. In- the direction of Gummes- han we have occupied first line enemy trenches. In the direction of Dlar bekr, we are advancing and-have taken prisoners and captured boxes of ammunition."
