Fostering of Justice "Merely t Proves Boomerang to Repr Candidates for Republic gressive Checkn Chicago, Juii" Representatives of the several candidates for the Republican presidential nomination ar in a perplexing predicament tonight. Having fostered sentiment in f.ivor of Justice Hugh s until they felt sure Colonel Roosevelt was definitely olim inated, they now fear they cannot control the Hughe- niovt inent. During the day it grew to the proportions of a boom. KfTort Is being , made to concentrate all elements against it, and the indications arc that the veto of the Progressive! party, which, of course, m< ins Cnl-j onol Roosevelt's disapproval of Hughes, may be sought as a check.
