TEN TENTATIVELY SELECTED
NEW YORK, Nov. 22. Wide-
epreaa sympainy among; residents or
New York for one side or the other
of the nations at war in Europe
rendered extremely difficult today
the selection of a Jury to try Dr.
Karl Buem, managing director, and
his three subordinate officers of the
Hamburg-American line on charges
of conspiracy to deceive and defraud
the United States by sending supply
ships to the German cruisers in the
Atlantic in the early stages of the
war.
Forty-Two Examined.
Forty-two talesmen were exam
ined, but only ten jurors were se
lected and these tentatively. Eight
of the number, however, were Bald
by counsel to be acceptable to both
ides. The entire panel was ex
hausted and another from which to
complete the jury will be on hand
when the trial is resumed tomorrow
morning. During today's session the
defense exhausted five of its ten
peremptory challenges and the gov
ernment four of the six allowed it.
Jfot er Six Neatral.
Not more than si of the forty-two
men examined professed to be en
tirely neutral with respect to the
European war. Many of the tales
men had relatives serving in the
armies of one side or the other, while
others of Qerman, British or French
descent had enrolled their sympa
thies nuder the colors of their father

HOGHESREQUEST
Secretary Announces Name of Asso
ciate Justice Will Be Omitted
from Primary Ballot.
ASKS SIGNERS TO FILE SUIT
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 22. Secre
tary of State Pool of Nebraska today
announced that, he would grant the
request of Associate Justice Hughes
of the supreme court and withdraw
the latter'a -name from the"Nebrask
primary ballot as a candidate for the
republican presidential nomination. ,
Justice HugheB' request was received
by Mr. Pool today and he Immediately
notified the signers of the petition of his
decision. The request was as follows:
"To the Secretary of tSate: A petition
having becn filed with you on November
13, 1916, requesting that my name be
placed upon the official primary ballot of
the republican party for the primary
election to be held in Nebraska April 18,
1916, as a candidate for the office of
president of the United States, I hereby
notify you that I decline the nomination
made in this petition similar petitions
and reqiiest that my name shall not be
placed upon the ballot for such primary
election.
'.'Dated Washington. D. C, this 18th
day of November. 1916.
"CHARLES E. HUGHES.
The fact that the Judge emphasises his
refusal to bocome a candidate by making
his request apply to "this petition and
similar petitions," looks as if he intended
to prevent any similar acts in the future.
"Exercising the authority which I feci
I am warranted In using," said Mr. Pool,
in his communication to the signers, "I
have decided to follow the wishes of Jus
tice Huxhes In this particular case, be
lieving that he, as a member of the high
eat court of the land, would not request
we do that which, la contrary to the ex
isting laws. Should you feel that I have
erred in this ruling, I shall be pleaaed to
have you take it before the courts of our
of our state for final adjudication."
A similar petition placing on file the
name of Mayor William Hale Thompson
of Chicago as a presidential candidate Is
liefore the secretary of state. It is
understood that Mr. Thompaon will re
quest the withdrawal of his name. Mr.
Pool has indicated that he will comply
upon receipt of a mesage from the Chi
cago mayor.
