Hughes Seen Likeliest Nominee at Chicago Convention
Washington reports six weeks before the Chicago convention that Justice Charles Hughes of the Supreme Court is the leading Republican for the presidential nomination.

Opinions vary on timing, with a possible third or fourth ballot and a likely compromise candidate, while Republican leaders note Hughes leads current polling and favorite son candidates lack sufficient support.
