By Martin Green. Correspondent of The Evening World.) » CHICAGO, June 9.—Justice Charles Evans Hughes of the United States Supreme Court was submitted to the Republl- can Convention by Gov, Charles S. Whitman of New York as candidate for the nomination for President a little al noon to-day. Gov, Whitman was brief in his remarks, and, contrary to expectations, did not outline to the convention any of Mr. Hughes's policies or prine clples in national affairs, contenting himself with reading from a speech delivered by the Jurist several years ago. Several hundred delegates and alternates managed to keep a hurrah for Hughes alive for more than twenty minutes, but there was nothing de- lrious about it. The 12,000 spectators sat unmoved and watched the spee- tacle on the floor below. The convention previously cheered Taft's name for six minutes, and sat down hard on a demonstration for Roosevelt. Eltha Root was placed in nomination in a rainbow chasing speech by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. Juyt as the Doctor mentioned the rainbow there was a tremendous clap of thunder, and rain began to fall when he ; brought In the name of Root. Then a woman from Washington with the name of Root--not related to the former Senator—led In making a demon- | Stration for the New Yorker which lasted as long as the cheering for Hughes, Following this » Willls of Ohio placed Senator Burton in nomina- tion and started a demonstration that lasted thirty-four minutes, ene The convention apparently Is determined to name the ticket regardle: being | of thé Progressives.
