NOTIFICATION OF NOMINATION SOON

Hughes to Be Notified of Nomination Fpr Presidency Either July 24th of 31st.

Charles E. Hughes has decided to have the ceremony of his formal notification of his nomination for the presidency held in New York. It will take place on Monday if possible, probably July 31st, although it may occur a week earlier. The nominee prefers having it in a large hall. Republican and progressive leaders from every section of the country will be invited, if the tentative program is adopted, and hundreds of other invitations will be issued to party workers in New York. Mr. Hughes desires to have the general public admitted if any seats are available. The nominee has stated that he would like to have the notification serve as a get-together meeting of republicans and progressives from every part of the United States. His speech of acceptance, he said, probably would be a long one, as he expected to discuss every issue in detail. Almost immediately after the notification the campaign will open with a four or five weeks’ trip by the Pacific coast. Returning, the nominee will open his eastern campaign in Maine prior to the state election early in September. Not only will Mr. Hughes speak in Maine, but it is likely that both Col. Roosevelt and Former President Taft will be requested to take the stump there. In studying the campaign map, Mr. Hughes has looked with favor on a trip along the northern fringe of the southern states. It is likely that he will campaign in Maryland, West Virginia, North Caorlina, Tennessee and possibly Oklahoma on this trip.
