WICKERSHAM SAYS HUGHES
WILL REUNITE THE G. O. P.
Ex-Attorney-General Expects to See Most of the Pro
gressives Return and Actively Support
the Nominee.
"Tho nomination of Justlc Hughes
will reunite all the element In the Re
publican party and reiult In the prac
tical amalgamation of tha Itepubllcan
and the Progressive vote. I confidently
predict hie election."
Cleonge W. Wlckersham, former At-tomcy-Oeneral
of the United Wales, In
the foregoing words ave hearty Indorse
ment yesterday to the action of the Ite
publlcan national convention In Chicago.
Not only waa he confident of lleubtlcaii
success, as the result of the merging of
warring factions, but he predicted mi
administration' In which "straight out
Americanism" would be tho outstanding
feature.
"Mr. Hughes stands for a more vigor
ous assertion of American rltits than
doen the present Administration," he
said.
Mr. Wlrkersham, who was In Wash
ington on Friday and Saturday, denied
that hp had seen Mr. Hughes after the
latter had received notification of his
nomination, He laughed at a report
that he had hurried back from the capi
tal and had gone straight to Oyster lkiy
to confer with Col. Itoosevelt.
"That report must have started," he
said, "from the fact that my train divides
at Jamaica, one section of It going to
Oyster Hay. I was not in that tmrt. I
went to my own home, Cedarhumt, not
to Sagamore Hill."
Will .n Visit Itnonevelt.
Mr. Wlckersham added that he had
no Intention of vIsltlnK tho Colonel, and
to another question said ho "did not care
to discuss the poselhlllt) " that Mr.
Roosevelt would take the stump for Mr.
Hughes. In emphasizing bis confidence
In the Republican nominee's unwavering
Americanism, tho ex-Attorney-General
said :
"In my opinion the hyphenates will
get but cold comfort from him. I nm
Inclined to believe, that tho support
which sonic of the Clerman newspapers
have given him was born of a wih
rather than nn expectation. They prob
ably were influenced by some of the
speeches made by Mr. Hughen before he

"Of course," ho said, "there may be

but I certainly am of the opinion that

Mr. Wlckersham did not care to von

he was sure the number wns small.
Mr. Wlckersham also praised Justice

with two assaults against tho hill It

tions east of the hill, on tho slopes of
the ravine which separates It from Ie
Mort Homme. Tho attacks failed com
pletely under tho French fire.
Thero was no Infantry action on the

The 'l(!ht rnmmnntiine.
The official communlqu Issued by the
War Office to-night follows:
On tho front north of Verdun there
was no Infantry action In the course
of tho day. Our artillery replied ae.
lively to the Oermnii batteries, which
bombarded particularly tho region
south of the Thlaumont farm and
west of Fort Vmiv
Tho day was calm on the rest of the
front except In Champagne, where the
artillery duel look on great Intensity
In the sector of Tahure.
The situation from June 4 to June
10:
The action beginning pn June 1 on
a front of five kilometers 13 1-8 miles)
from the Thlaumont farm to the vil
lage of Daniloup Inoluslvo was con
tinued with extreme violence timing
the whole week of June 4-10, The
Hermans used more than six divi
sions, of which two were newly brought
up to this region, one coming from the
Ilalkans, the other shifted from the
western front.
On the ntaht t June 3-4 and on
day of June 4 the enemy sought to
enter Fort Vaux from the south. He
was stopped by our trenches south of
tho fort and was thrown back on two
attempts by our counter attacks.
At Daniloup, In which hp hud gained
a foothold, the enemy pushed through
the village, of which he remaln.Nl In
control. Several attacks were stopped
by our tire north of Fort Vaux on the
eastern edge of Fumln wood.
Loss of Fort Vnm,

the best drive yet from the sartorial tee. A
plain Norfolk in the matter of belt and
pleats but has three or four surplus
inches tin Led away in the shoulder blades,
which means a longer "follow-through"
and puts more Kirkby into the carry. A
good-looking Norfolk, too. None of your
