Washington. April ■_•."►. — Governor
Charles E. Hughes will succeed the lat«
Justice Brewer in the supreme Court of
the United States. His nomination was)
srnt to the Senate to-day by the Presi-
dent, immediately after the receipt of an
acceptance of hi? offer from # the Gov- X
i ernor.

Ml This arrangement has the full ap
proval of Preside nt Taft, and was a ma
terial factor in Governor Hu^hess ac
ceptance of the place tendered him by
th- President last Friday.
Governor liijrhes's nomination was re
ceived at the Senate late this afternoon
and was referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary. There is no doubt that <*
favorable report will be. made at an
early date and that • ■onflrm;Ui«»n will
follow «o»>n thereafter Members as?
both political parties in the Senate ex
pressed themselves as highly pleased
with the nomination and predated that
there would be no opposition to con
firmation.
President's Statement.
The following official statement of tha
ttnder of the nomination and its ac
ceptance was 3iv«n out at the White
House:
The President by letter of April 22 ten
dered the appointment to th« Supr«m»
bench to succeed Justice Brewer to Gov
ernor Charles E. Hughes of New Yo'«.
By letter of April 24 Governor Hughes
accepted. In the President's letter to
Governor Hughes he told him that m
the Supreme Court would adjourn its
hearings this week the person appointed
would not be called 'upon to discharge
any judicial functions until the opening
of the October term on the second Mon
day in October and that therefore if
Governor Hughes could accept he mignt
continue to discharge His duties as Gov
ernor until his qualification on the da/
cf the opening of the court in October
next. This was a material factor in Gov
ernor Hughes'* acceptance. According
ly, if the nomination • confirmed, as
there is every reason to believe it will be.
Governor Hughes's qualification will not
take place until October.
Th- President was much elated over
the success of his tender M Governor
Hujrhcs. and to-night he said:
I am very much delighted to secure
Governor Hughes for the bench. He is a
man of wide experience and marked
ability, and it is a mighty valuable
thing to have on the great bench of th«
Supreme Court a man of affairs. Gov
ernor Hughes is forty-eight years of age,
I think, and even if he should retire at
seventy he will have had twenty two
years of solid usefulness on the bench.

notice t-> the p-ople of New York that
th-- national R«-publi> an administration

When It was sugs^ste«l that the
nomination of Governor Hushes might
result in the elimination of the governor
from active participation in the forth
coming joliti« tl campaign in the Empire
State, the New York member aald:
"Of course. 1 am not able to say what
