A score of possible candidates have been discussed in the hotel lobbies and other meeting places of politicians, but it seems to be generally conceded that the party in all probability will look to New York State for its standard bearer. The men most frequently mentioned hail from the Empire State. They are Supreme Court Judge Charles E. Hughes, United States Senator Elihu Root and Governor Charles 8. Whitman. Sepnator Root retired from the Senate today.

Jus- tice Hughes' attitude is likewige un- known. Scme of his friends assert that under no circumstances would he leave the supreme court, while others are rooting hard for his se~ lection. Governor Willis, of Ohio, Senator Borah, of Idaho, and Myron T. Herick, of Ohio, are also talked of as being candidate timber. SPECIAL ATTENTION, R. A.
