EXPLAIN ATTACK ON HITCHCOCK
Effort to Induce Roosevelt

HOPE TO BRING ABOUT BREAKUP
- By VICTOR ROSEWATER.
Chicago, 111., May 31. (Special Tel
egram.) While the arrival of the
advance guards gives t lie hotel lohhics
a distinctly convention aspect, there
are comparatively few delegates as
yet in Chicago and those few for the
most part the ones whose csats are
contested. As a consequence the big
noise consists almost wholly of the
talk launched by the campaign man
agers anil their assistants specially de
signed to build up their particular fa
vorite and break down the opposition.
Brushing aside these madc-to-ordcr
:Iaims the political topography as
seen by the cleanest visioned observ
ers with whom I have talked shows
crs with whom I have talked show
two outstanding figures, Hughes and
Roosevelt and a group of lesser emi
nences that can attain larger propor
tions only if these two are out of the
way.
Method in Attacks.
There is more method than mad
ness, therefore, in the concentrated
effort to hammer and pick at Hughes,
because, to the combination of of fa
vorite sons, Hughes is by far the most
dreaded obstacle in their path. So all
their ammunition is being shot at him
and the Hughes boosters, which ex-
plans the attacks on former .National
Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock, who
is guiding the Hughes movement.
Although avowedly with no direct
sanction from Justice Hughes but
solely from a conviction that tl(e nom
ination of Hughes offers the best way
of uniting the republican elements for
a winning campaign against Wilson
nd the democrats, it also explains the
adroit maneuvers in the same quarter
to get Roosevelt to play his battering
ram against Hughes in the belief that
Roosevelt himself could not be the
beneficiary and with both side-tracked
one favorite son might stand to win
out.
Favorite Sons Watchful.
Fractically all the candidates are
already represented though the head
quarters are not formally open. Sen
ator Weeks is here himself, in the dual
capacity of delegate and candidate. I
had a talk with him this noon. He
has no illusions, lie knows it is a real
fight, but he hopes to be the residuary
legatee of any breakup in the instruct
ed delegations.
Senator Kenyon coming in from
Washington stopped over oa his way
home, but is not specially jubilant
over the outlook for Cummins whose
campaign he has been directing. He
realizes that those who will vote for
Cummins at the start have different
personal preferences and that it is a
serious question whether they can be
held for more than one or tvM Sallots.
Hall Almost Read.
I looked in on the convention hall
which is almost ready for the decora
tions. The seating arrangements are
very similar to four years ago except
the enlargement of the gallery box
immediately over the main entrance.
The national committee is sched
uled to meet tomorrow to deal with
the contests, but is hardly expected
t do more than agree on prelimin
aries and procedure and a start on the
real business.

HITCHCOCK DOES
NOT QUOTE HUGHES
Republican Leader Says He is Not
Authorized to Speak for Justice
and Has Not Attempted It.
WORKING ON OWN INITIATIVE
Chicago, May 31. Frank 11. Hitch
cock, who has been in Chicago for
several days working as an individual
in behalf of Justice Charles E.
Hughes, whose friends desire him
nominated by the .epublican national
convention for president, today is
sued a statement denying that he ever
said Mr. Hughes would accept the
honor if it were tendered him. Mr.
Hitchcock said:
"When I first arrived here I was
interviewed, and among other ques
tions was asked whether Justice
Hughes would ..ccept the republican
nomination for president. My reply
to that question vas that no man
could refuse a presidential nomination
tendered by his pi.rty in times like
these, and particularly if the party
felt that he was tlie man above all
others who could unite its -divided
forces and lead them to victory."
Mr. Hitchcock reiterated his
previous statement that he has no
authority whatever to represent Mr.
Hughes.
"1 have come to Chicago solely on
my own responsibility to work for
what 1 consider to be the best inter
ests of the republican party and the
country," he said.
Senator John W. Weeks of Massa
chusetts, a delegatc-at-Iarge to the
republican national convention and a
presidential candidate, arrived today,
lie is the second presidential candi
date to come to the convention, Cole
man Uupont of Delaware having ar
rived several days ago.
Senator Weeks issued a statement,
saying he could discern "a demo
cratic attempt at preparedness for the
approaching political campaign," but
could sec "slight evidence of any sat
isfactory attempt at preparedness for
national defense."
"Here in Chicago, however," he
continued, "I expect to see effective
means adopted toward this end, cul
minating in the framing of a platform
and the nomination of a candidate
such as will secure the support of all
the people in this country who be
lieve in 'America first' as a real, vital
national doctrine. My action as a
delegate will be guided solely by this
principle."
Attitude of Filipinos.
Philippine republicans will work
hard to have a plank inserted in
the platform declaring for permanent
and absolute American control of the
islands, according to Colonel Henry
B. McCoy, Philippine member of the
national committee, who arrived in
Chicago today. He said four other
representatives of the islands, party
organization, now -en route to Chi
cago, would devote their time to com
bating the democratic doctrine of ul
timate independence for the islands.
Meyer in Charge of Roosevelt Boom.
George von L. Meyer of New York
arrived today and assumed direction
of the republican Roosevelt cam
paign. ''Until we hear either from Mr.
Hughes lnmselt or a statement is
made from an authentic source we
will continue to believe that Frank
H. Hitchcock is political campaign
manager for Mr. Hughes," said Mr.
Meyer. "We find that the Roosevelt
sentiment among business men in
every state is growing daily. The
great preparedness parades show that
they" favor preparedness and true
Americanism as expounded by Mr.
Roosevelt.
"Congress has been so busy with
its oflicial duties in Washington that
it is not in touch with the business
interests of the country. The busi
ness men are aroused in this, crisis
and are rallying to the support of
Roosevelt. They feel that he is alive
to the country's need."
Managers of Senator L. Ys Sher

for Their Continued

TIME FOR THEM TO LEAVE
Snyi Raids Can Be Best Prevented
by Efficient Patrol of Arcri
can Side.
WILL BE PUBLISHED LATER
Mexico City, May 31. Claiming
that the words and protests of the
United States have been entirely in
contradition of their acts and that in
spite of protests not to intervene in
the affairs of Mexico soldiers of the
United States are in Mexico without
the consent of the Mexican govern
ment and in violation of Mexico's
sovereignty, the Mexican government
now asks for the immediate with
drawal of these troops. The request
is made in a 12,000-word note made
public at the foreign office today,
about noon.
The note recites that the American
troops crossed the border after the
Columbus incident without the per
mission of the Mexican government.
The act was not considered one of
invasion then, solely because the
United States said they had misinter
preted the attitude of the Mexican
government. When the second ex
pedtion crossed the line after the
Glenn Springs incident, the note
maintains, the plea that tin's was done
with the consent of the Mexican con
sul at Del Kio, Tex., is untenable and
that the act can only be considered
as one of invasion.
"The Mexican government there
fore invites the United States tobring
to an end this unsupportable situa
tion" the note concludes and "to sup
port jts protestations and declarations
of friendship by an immediate with
drawal of American troops."
Washington, May 31. A new note
from General Carranza, asking for a
definite explanation of the continued
ptcsence of American troops in
Mexico and renewing his previous
request for their withdrawal, was
presented to the State department to
day by Elio Arredondo, the Car-'
runa ambassador.
The note covers twenty-eight type
written pages and came in Spanis'-,.
Arrangements will be inade for its
publication after it has been trans
lated. Carranza officials in Mexico
City have previously admitted that
the note would be given out after it
had been delivered to Secretary
Lansing.
U. S. Should Patrol Own Side.
General tarranza's new note refers
to the repeated declarations that the
United States wants no war with
Mexico, and argues that the with
drawal of the troops would be the
best proof of that attitude on the part
of the American government.
The continued presence of the puni
tive expedition, the note says, is hav
ing a contrary effect. It goes on to
say that Carranza troops are now
able both in numbers and position to
control outlawry in northern Mexico
and that co-operation by the Amer
ican troops in preventing incursions
into the United States can best be
carried on by having the forces on
the American side of the border. It
declares that had the American
ttoops in Mexico been engaged in pa
trol on the American side the Glenn
Springs and Roquillas raids could
have been prevented.
State department officials regard
the note not as an ultin.atum, but
