HUGHES INDORSED BY PROGRESSIVES AT ROOSEVELT'S URGING

Colonel Calls Upon Leaders To Support Republican Nominee

William Flinn Makes Motion To Support G. O. P. Before National Committee

CHICAGO, June 26- By a vote of 32 to 6, with nine members declining to vote, the National Committee of the Progressive Party today indorsed Charles E. Hughes for President, and the Bull Moose Party practically went out of existence as a national political organization.
  The decision to indorse the Republican Presidential nominee came at the end of a stormy session. The fight in the committee for Hughes' indorsment was led by George W. Perkins, of New York; James R. Garfield, of Ohio, and Chester H. Rowell, of California.
  The radical committee element in the committee, represented by Matthew Hale, of Massachusetts; Bainbridge Colby, of New York; Henry F. Cochems, of Wisconsin, and John M. Parker, of Louisiana, vigorously protested against the indorsements of any candidate for President, and fought the majority at every step of the proceedings. The minority's first move was to insist on an open session of the committee, and it won the point after a number of committeemen, led by John M. Parker, bolted the meeting.
Roosevelt for Hughes

After Oscar King Davis, secretary of the meeting, had read Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's letter finally declining the Progressive nomination for President and urging that Mr. Hughes be supported by of the Progressive Party in order to defeat President Wilson, the committee voted to accept Colonel Roosevelt's declination and took a recess for luncheon.
At the beginning of the afternoon session Chairman Matthew Hale, of Massachusetts, ruled of next order of business Kass to fill the vacancy on the ticket

DARING AVIATRIX, A FIERY COMET, HERALDS AD PARADE

RECORD THRONG SEES BRILLIANT NIGHT PAGEANT

Advertising Visualized in Hundreds of Cleverly-Conceived Floats

New "Philadelphia First" Established by Biggest Crowd Police Ever Handled

Advertising men the world over sought to astonish Philadephia last night by the most complete and wonderful "visualization of advertising" in the form of a parade that the world has ever seen. Instead, Philadephia astonished these wide-awake creators of public demand by turning out in such numbers as to establish another "Philadephia First."

Lining the wide pavements of Broad street, from Moore street on the south to Lehigh avenue on the north, and lining them solidly so that movement was impossible, the great throng overlapped the curbing at every other square and made the police establish new lines.

Philadephia police officials said it was the largest crowd they were ever called upon to handle.

The parade, all agreed, was the biggest and best exposition of the part of advertising in American life that has ever been presented.

Months of careful preparation was behind the pageant which kept the countless thousands packed solid on Broad street last night for four hours and more.

While the moving stream of inanimate things come to life and their active creators and assistants moved through the valley formed by the crowds on either side of the broad asphalted thoroughfare, there happened incident after incident that under ordinary circumstances would be deemed exceptional.

The crowd anticipated much, but received a great deal more and thoroughly fixed on the written page of the history of Philadephia an event which will ever linger in the minds of those who saw its variety and wonder.

New Record Set
The so-called advertising pageant has always been a feature of the convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. Each year it has grown bigger and more astonishing in its comprehensiveness. Each year the limit has been reached, excepting in the minds of the intrepid few.

Chicago last year was admitted to have

Girl in Biplane Thrills Thousands   With Dazzling Flights at Noon and Night. Will Repeat Them Today

Hundreds of thousands of persons watched with bated breath last night while Ruth Law, greatest woman flyer in the United States, made the most sensational flight in The Inquirer aeroplane which has ever been seen in this city.

With her machine a mass of dazzling lights, the darling young aviatrix raced through the air at a mad speed of nearly a hunderd [[hundred]] miles an hour, fearlessly performed aerial trick after aerial trick and made her frail biplane turn in constant evolutions at a speed which made the spectators gasp.

Never has a single event so stirred Philadelphia as did The Inquirer's greeting to the 18,000 delegates and visitors to the twelfth annual convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World.

It followed a similar performance at noon yesterday, which likewise created a municipal sensation. Showing plainly at all times on the white Irish Linen bottom of the aeroplane, except when the girl was actually riding upside down, was one word in big black letters, "Inquirer."

To many Miss Law seemed to ride through the clouds in reckless abandon, but the more experienced realized that her every move showed perfect machine control and was gracefully executed.

Night Flight Spectacular
Philadelphia went wildly enthusiastic over The Inquirer and the girl who ventured forth in the machine. Compared with those who gathered for the evening performance the great crowds at noon were small. Unquestionably it was the one big happening of the night. Miss law and her daring even overshadowed the four hours' pageant. Thousands waited for more than an hour to be among those fortunates who saw her twenty minutes' of aerial sport.
 Never before in the history of aviation has the city been so stirred. The feat of The inquirer in bringing the aviatrix here was lauded on all sides. Her presence gave an exciting zest and snap, which made the first night of Advertising Week the biggest success in the history of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World.
 Thousands of Philadelphians came to the centre of the city in the evening to see Miss Law, who had no interest in the wonderful parade. Hundreds more poured into Broad Street Station and the Reading Terminal from suburban points for the same purpose. As soon as the aviatrix had finished her night's work they returned to their homes, full of the memories of the thrills her dash through the sky had given them. They felt they had been allowed to view a marvelous triumph of a frail woman in what seemed a frailer machine over one of the elements of nature.

Seen by Thousands
 Even the "stay-at-homes" in most sections of the city were able to see the best part of the flight. They stood at street corners, climbed on roofs, risked limbs in reaching some particularly advantageous spot a distance from the

AS CONVENTION'S KEYNOTE IS HIGH HOPE FOR FUTURE
New Conceptions advanced of publicity as Educational Torch
Governor Brumbaugh and Mayor Smith Deliver Official Welcomes

New conceptions of advertising - as a means of human enlightenment, and as the only way for the immediate future to set up intelligent relations between producer and buyer and hence between the whole of humankind - were advanced at the opening sessions of the Advertising Clubs' convention, which opened yesterday morning at the Convention Hall of the Philadelphia Museum. 
 The convention was given a four-fold welcome; an official State welcome by Governor Brumbaugh, an official city welcome by Mayor Thomas B. Smith, in which the historic place of Philadelphia as an advertising centre was touched on; a personal welcome by President Robert H. Durkin, of the Poor Richard Club, and a welcome from the intellectual and scholastic forces of the city, spoken by Provost Edgar Fabs Smith, on behalf of the University of Pennsylvania.
 There was enthusiasm, there was inspiration for the visitors: there was fresh

ALLIES PREPARING FOR BIG OFFENSIVE DRIVE ON GERMANS
Long-Heralded Campaign May Be Under Way Now
War Office Silent, But Events Point to Gigantic and Successful Operations
BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER
Special Cable to The Inquirer

 LONDON, June 26.-At last the long-heralded and much-delayed grand offensive of the Allies seems to be on hand. Indeed, if events rather than official announcements mark its opening, it is already well under way.
 Paris and London have said nothing regarding the important operations now developing. It has been left to admissions from the Central Powers to establish their existence. Thus as against the silence of the British War Office, Berlin today chronicled the opening of "important battles" on the sector held by Sir Douglas Haig.
 Vienna supplements this tonight with the admission of a twenty-mile retirement in the Trentino.
 In the east the Russians, while still held up in their advance on Kovel by the Germans, are continuing their advance against the Austrians in the south. Their flank now protected by the Carpathians, they have turned northward in their sweep through Bukowina and are now approaching Kolomea. They are already within ten miles of the town.
 Thus, though the Germans do succeed in preventing progress from the north, they may still force the evacuation of

Work Wonderful
From a Staff Correspondent.
 CAMP BRUMBAUGH, MT. GRETNA, Pa., June 26. -Every brigade, every regiment, every battalion, troop and com-many away from here and on its way to the border by Wednesday night. 
 This in effect was the most recent de-mand of the War Department received here today as a sequel to the sudden, af-ter-midnight order of this morning, by which the First Brigade of Philadelphia, under command of Brigadier General William G. Price, Jr. was given the distinction and the honor of being the first of Pennsylvania Guard to be called to the defense of the nation and the maintenance of its honor. 
 It is the hope of the division staff that every troop may be away from Mt. Get-na within forty-eight hours, but it is a question whether the accomplishment of such a gigantic task is within the bounds of physical possibility. 
Philadelphia Sprit
 And then one considers what this great mobilization camp, now numbering 11,000 men, and so soon to be depleted by marching orders, already has done, almost as though by magic, in the three days since its came into being last Saturday. 
 One considers all that, and looks over the three Philadelphia Regiments now almost ready for tomorrow's departure for the Mexican border, and the realization is inevitable that once again the spirit, the patriotism and the efficiency of Philadelphians during a national need has set an example for the rest of the State and the balance of the nation. 
 As this is being written the soldier lads of the "Quaker City" are straining every nerve, working off every ounce of surplus weight in desperate, last-hour efforts to meet the demands that have been placed upon them. Their train schedule has been tentatively arranged, and they do no intend to be found wanting in preparedness. 
Other Regiments Arriving
 And while these study, patriotic, self-sacrificing specimens of fine physical and mental manhood are toiling, sweeten, laughing, joking and even each moment bringing nearer the time when they will shoulder riffles in their country's cause, other regiments notably the "Fighting Tenth"and others from the Northern  and Western ends of the State, are sending bands and battalions to Mount Gretna and Colebrook cations to meet the incoming recruits, who are to swell the units to full war strength. From many points the strains of martial music strike across the camp, one hears the stirring air of "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are Marching," or the marching songs of other wars, and then there are the sharp, vibrant shouts of men, scores, hundreds, thousands of them, cheering in all parts of the vast mobilization camp as a long line of civilian-clad [?] arrive to join some regiment and swell its numbers to War Department requirements.
 It would not be exaggeration, but the mere justice which such whole-hearted patriotism and Nation-loyalty deserves, to say that at no time in more than half a century, or since the Civil War closed, has Pennsylvania witnessed, or have Pennsylvanian participated in such scenes as have been enacted at this mobilization camp today. 
 They have been scenes marked by a splendid realization of the country's need and a awn's duty to respond thereto; and they have been scenes, too, marked by the solemnity and sadness which must ever be inseparable from the departure of soldiers for scenes of war.
Pathetic Partings
Mothers have hung sobbing upon the broad shoulders of courageous sons, and those same sons have tried bravely to reassure, while tears dimmed their own eyes and unconquered lumps swelled in their throats. A scene enacted tonight upon the station platform was typical of hundreds of others, there and in other parts of the camp. 
 A gray-haired mother, her shoulders rounded by the weight of years, took her boy's face in her own two hands, gazed hungrily into his eyes for a moment, and then, in a wild passion of grief, buried her face upon his chest. They boy tried to utter something. but it wouldn't come. He ran his fingers lovingly though her hair, and then tried again. 
 "Mother," he said, "mother, dear, don't cry. Everything is all right. There isn't any danger. I'll try to write to you every day. I'll soon be back. You mustn't-" and the rest was lost as he. too, burst into tears. And the throng turned, or. too engrossed in its equal sorrow, did not notice that mother and son. 
 It was a day, the inevitable day of sad leave-taking in which gladness mixed with sadness, and unquestioned patri-

20,000 MEN TO REACH EL PASO BY WEEK'S END; CARRANZA TROOPS MOVE
[?] to The [?]
EL PASO, Texas. June 26 - Hurried preparations for the reception of thousands of National Guardsmen were under way in El Paso tonight. Military authorities expressed the opinion that approximately 20,000 guardsmen will arrive here before the end of the week, and with the 5000 regular troops now stationed here, will make El Paso the largest military concentration camp in the United States. 
 With he entire National Guard of Massachusetts, New Jersey and Connecticut, approximating 10,000 men, under orders to entrain for El Paso, General George Bell. Jr. commanding the local military district, said that he was making preparations for the housing and rationing of 25,000 so he would be prepared to care for any additional troops sent him. 
5000 Go to Fort Bliss
 It is planned that about 5000 of the State troops now on their way here, will be stationed at Fort Bliss, on the outskirts of the town, while camp sites were laid within the corporate limits of the city for the remaining 5000. General Bell said that water mains had been laid, sewer connection made and the ground leveled, leaving nothing for the guardsmen to do upon their arrival but o set up their canvas. 
 Arrangements have been made for the frilling of recruits by non-commisoned officers of the regular army on station here. Major William Elliott, in charge of the army quartermaster depot here, said he had begun a heavy concentration of supplies, preparatory to the arrival of the guardsmen. It was estimated that a million dollars' worth of supplies, equipment, food and forage is in transit to the depot. 
 Discussion on both sides of the river centered upon President Wilson's demands upon Carranza. Mexican officials and Mexicans of the better educated class said they did not believe there would be any objection to surrendering the American prisoners taken at Carrizal. This concession they said, ought to satisfy American pride, but they expressed fear it would not. In the Mexican view, the Carrizal fight is simply an object lesson as to the danger of letting the American troops come into contact with the Mexicans. 
Jordan "Peace Conference"
 The general attitude of the American border public towards the "peace commission" of David Starr Jordan and others about to meet here for the purpose of considering the mexican situation with a view to bringing about peace is reflected in the statement of Mayor Tom Lea today who said:
 "It is the duty of El Pasoans at all times to treat people who are guests in our midst with every courtesy, and El Paso is not likely to break her record in this matter regarding the meeting of the so-called peace commissioners in the city of El Paso. To my mind they have nothing in common with any American on the border or with any American citizen, wherever he may be located, who believes that the standard of the American citizenship should be maintained and that the government owes its full duty to every citizen. Their coming will not create a ripple in the city of El Paso and I am sure that we will go along with out business and everyday vocations the same as if they were not here.
 "The only suggestion I have to make is that they might hold their meetings in peace Grove, across the river. I cannot offer them Washington Park because the squirrels are running loose, and squirrels are usually fond of nuts."
 Dr. Jordan arrived this morning. He declared that to prevent war with Mexico, to put a stop to the raiding on the border and generally straighten out and adjust differences now existing between in United States Government and Mexico are the purposes for which he has come to El Paso. 
 Dr. Jordan reached El Paso, from Oklahoma City, where he was lecturing
