CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, June 8.—After the convention went into session to-day the allied favorite sons, seven in number, agreed that they have no chance. They will close their activities and their votes atter the first ballot will go to Hughes. This new development insures Hughes at least 500 votes on the second ballot and insures his nomination unless something like a miracle intervenes. There is some conflict as to whether the name of Justice Hughes or that of former Senator Root will be tirst presented. The delegation itself will decide this question, but both of New York's sons will be placed before the convention before another State is called It appears that George B. Cortelyou, who came here ostensibly be- cause as ex-Chairman of the Republican National Committee he thought his advice might help out the situation, has cut a considerable figure asa harmonizer, Mr. Cortelyou, according to good authority, has conveyed to the G, O, P. leaders the information that Col. Roosevelt, if he cannot get the nomination himself, and he has not lost all hope, will support Hughes if the plattorm is in accord with Rooseyelt ideas. The difficulty of shaping a platform tor the Republican Party that will satisfy Col, R and differences in the committee on resolu Uons over attempt on the part ot pro-German interests to. i t the European war into this gathering combined to put a barrier in the here r determined.
