New York, -la-. 20 ?The New York
state republican s, at the end of a
stormy session, have f iled to uame a
eboiee for the ppesiden i <1 nomination.
A bitter fight was mad by the support
er* of Governor Hughes, but .the
friends of the administration and of
Taft. while not ab'e to secure an en*
dorsement, were strong enough to pre
vent the Hughes resolutions from

pointment to the Hughes men, and by
comment outside the state is accepted
as very like a deathblow to the Hughes
boom. It is thought possible his case
may be strengthened before the Chi
