HILLES SAYS CANDIDATE BE !
BORN AT CONVENTION
_ i
A. P. A. Service.
CHICAGO, Jun 27 —Chairman Hll
les, discusing the political outlook
today gave It as his opinion that the
nomination of a candidate for the
presidency at the republican conven
tion will be a sort of a catch as catch
can affair as there will probably be a
considerable number of candidates in
the field which will tend to divide the
votes of the delegates, and make the
linal result doubtful.
Hllles refused absolutely to discuss
the possibility of Koosevelt being a
candidate and stated that he had no{
desire to comment on the possible as-1
plratlona of the former Bull Moose'
leader.
Hllles says that there Is little Indi 1
cation as to the probable candidate at
the present time and says that in his
belief the candidate who will head the
ticket will probably be born at the
convention.
Franklin Murphy, the New Jersey
committeeman, says that the republi
can leaders are willing to give the
progressives every opportunity to come
into the fold, by picking a candidate j
that will be agreeable to both parties.
"The held is absolutely open," said]
Muryhy, today, "and if the progressives j
don’t get nasty about It, they proba- |
bly can secure a candidate suitable:
to all elements." At the present time I
all signs point to the selection of either
Hoot or Borah as the temporary chair
man of the republican convention
