"I have not desired the nomina tion," tho telegram began. "I have witched to remain on the bench. But In thlB critical period of our national history 1 recognize that it ls your right to summon and that lt is my paramount duty to respond." Within an hour after Chairman Harding had notified him of his nom ination Mr. Hughes had accepted the call. His resignation, a scant two line letter without a superfluous word, was on its way to tho White House from tho Hughes home before th 1 nominee had dispatched the mes sage of acceptance.

I do not accept it at this time. I do not know tho at titude of tho candidate of the Repub lican party toward the vital ques tions of the day. Therefore, if you desire an immediate decision 1 must decline the nomination. But, If you profer it, I suggest that my condi tional refusal to run <bo placed in the hands of tho Progressive National Committee. If Mr. Hughes' state ments, when he makes them, shall satisfy tho committee that it is for th-- interest of tho country that he ho cloded they can act accordingly and trout my refusal as definitely ac cepted.
