Halfton Robert E. Hughes weighed 1,011 pounds and rested in a New York hotel suite while aides hunted for a tent sized Santa suit. He did not appear on a local TV tie‑in as travel fatigue and travel delays kept him away. An aide said Hughes enjoyed air travel but rough weather over the Great Lakes delayed plans.
