per today said: "Evidenc*5 exists
11 abundance of a free, if not
lavish expenditure of money to;
spread the Hughes propaganda.!
t is a mystifying phase of the
•ituation, and one not wholly j
devoid of pos9ibi1ities of scandal,!
whence comes his campaign 1
unds.
Hitchcock iha,s rallied to the
support of his candidate man)
ex-office holders and has resur
rested the steam ro'ler of y8 to
usc in the preliminary contest.
It is evident that he is playing
a big game and crafty politicians
ar° watching with wonder while
awaiting hi8 next move.”
\Ym. Loeb, jr., arrived here
from New York today and de
dares that sentiment throughout
th" east indicates that the nom
ination lies between Roosevelt
and Hughes.. It is evident to all
that Hitchcock is behind Hughes
but who is behind Hitchcock is
a question that is causing much
speculation.
