One of the closest elections in American history, also one of the least-discussed.

Charles Evans Hughes was one of the most internationally-minded people in the Republican Party and would likely be enthusiastically cooperative with the British even if US entry to the war wasn't imminent. Hughes would likely have a far easier time convincing Congress to go along with a US role in the world postwar, especially because he wouldn't push a League of Nations to raise sovereignty concerns.

How does Hughes deal with the Mexico crisis? Wither Wilson's domestic agenda?

I have to think this Hughes leads to conservative Democrats dominating the 1920's and Republicans becoming the liberal party for good after winning in 1932.
