ROOSEVELT MAY MAKE HURRAH TRIP TO CHICAGO Continued from Pate One to change the situation until the delegates arrive. A large portion of the men who will ex press tho sentiment of the country are on the way here, and the special trains are scheduled to begin arriving Sunday morn ing, There have been several conferences be tween the managers for the avowed can didates and the Progressive leaders to date, but not a single direct offer of a bargain has been made. Whether a real effort will be made to do business before the con ventions actually meet will depend on cir cumstances. The methods of the Roose velt boosters are characteristically Roose veltlan. Each manager Is assured how well the Roosevelt men think of his can didate, and how sorry they are for the fact that the Colonel and the real Issues of the campaign, are so closely united that he cannot retire In favor of that particu lar aspirant. And. despite the fact the managers Include In their ranks some of the most experienced politicians In the United States, they have all fallen for the "sales."

A suit for 1, 000,000 damages for aleged breach or prom ise to marry the largest award a New York court has ever been asked to grant in such a case was filod yesterday in tho Supremo Court her against William Edgar Smith, a resident of tho Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. His father, William Van Rensselaer Smith, was one of those "Inconspicuous millionaires that New York bo frequently produces. The extent of his fortune, $G, 600,000, amazed the town when his will was mado public. Tho complainant against Mr. Smith Is Miss Caislo Mansfield Doty, a kinswoman of his, who llve3 nt tho Hotel Touralne. Hor mother and Mr. Smith's father, she said last night, wero first cousins Sho ls a grandnlcce of General Joseph Mansfield, a Union coinmnnder, who was killed at the Battle of Antlctam. Another granduncle was Governor Buckingham, of Massachu setts, known ns the "Fighting Executive" of that Stato. Sho Is a woman of com fortable means, who has spent most of her liio in tnia city ana New Haven, Conn. Miss Doty charges In her complaint that hor cousin, Mr. Smith, nsked for her hand In July, 1911, and that she accepted him, the two agreeing that tho marriage should bo performed on February 6, 1912. "I have allowed moro than four years to pass In the belief that Mr. Smith might fulfil his promise," she said last night, "but recently I have camo to the belief that he did not ntend to do so, and consequently felt that I should have recourse to the law. Yea", I Intend to go through with the suit and shall not hesitate to tako my place upon the witness stand and tell about my friendship with and betrothal to Mr. Smith." HUGHES STANDS FOR PREPAREDNESS OF U. S. Continued from Fsie One all on the question of preparedness," said one of his closest associates significantly, "thav hfiA'A rhnntrMl wtih tha tlmio T, i certain he Is not a peace-at-any.prlce man " FAVORS PREPAREDNESS. In 1908, Justlco Hughes made n speech beforo the Republican Club, In New York, In which ho said: We are devoted to the Interests of peace and we cherish no policy of ag gresslon. The maintenance of our Ideals Is our surest protection. It Is our constant aim to live In friendship with all nations and to realize the alms of a free Government, secure from the Interruptions of strife and the wastes of war. It Is entirely consistent with these alms and It Is our duty to make adequate provision for our de fense and to maintain tho efficiency of our army and navy. And this I favor. Those who havo read the remarks of Just ce Hughes at that time give him credit for great foresight, because at the time preparedness was not a vital tissue. That Justice Hughes will work for re demption of a progressive platform If he should be nominated and ejected Is cen sldered certain, because of the character of opposition directed against him. PROBABLY WOULD ACCEPT. The Issuance of statements by Justice Hughes' secretary, the last one yesterday, has not changed In any particular the general impression in Washington that the Justice gladly will give up his Supreme Court robesMf he is nominated In Chicago. Attention repeatedly is called to the fact that Justice Hughes has never said that he would" ttot accept the nomination. In nu icuors unu leiegrams, bearing on the use of his name as a presidential possibility, he has insisted that he was "not a candl date." As a matter of fact the Issuance of de nials from Justice Hughes' home had the effect of convincing many that he is not only willing, but anxious to land the nomination. If he were not a candidate, political leaders argue, he would let the rumorB pass unnoticed. It Is not customary for a Supreme Court Justice to dignify rumors and newspaper stories with formal statements Issued through his secretary.

Whitney, of tho Public Service Commission of New York, has written an article for tomorrow's Public Ledger on the logic of Justice Hughes' public career. He contends that in these times, when we hear so much of the importance of universal training and compulsory service, men trained to the duties of a republic must be subject to call, even to draft, if needs bel It is from this unique angle he writes in advocacy of the man who refuses to fur ther hia own nomination for President. The coming Presidential election prom ises to be the most important in the history of the United States. This article is a de tailed and authenticated analysis of the life-work of the man who may be galled to the Presidency.
