of Hughes Supply, Inc. (the "Issuer") whose principal executive offices are
located at 20 North Orange Avenue, Suite 200, Orlando, Florida, 32801. 

Item 2.  Identity and Background. 

     The following information relates to the person filing this statement:


          (a)  Name; Russell V. Hughes (the "reporting person"). 

          (b)  Business address; 20 North Orange Avenue
                                 Suite 200
                                 Orlando, Florida  32801

          (c)  Present principal occupation and employment; 

               Vice President of the Issuer.

          (d)  The reporting person has not, during the last five
               years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding
               (excluding traffic violations or similar
               misdemeanors).

          (e)  The reporting person has not, during the last five
               years, been a party  to a civil proceeding of  a judicial or
               administrative body of competent jurisdiction nor has he, as
               a result of any such proceeding, been subject to a judgment,
               decree  or final  order enjoining  future violations  of, or
               prohibiting  or  mandating activity  subject to,  federal or
               state securities laws or  finding any violation with respect
               to such laws. 

          (f)  Citizenship; United States of America. 

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. 

     This Schedule is filed for the purpose of reporting the acquisition on
February 16, 1994 by the reporting  person of shared voting and dispositive
power, and, therefore, beneficial ownership, with respect to 211,608 shares
(the "Trust  Shares") of Common Stock  held by the Russell  S. Hughes Trust
(the "RSH Trust") under Agreement dated September 9, 1970, as amended  (the
"Trust  Agreement").  The acquisition  of such beneficial  ownership of the
Trust  Shares  increased the  reporting  person's  beneficial ownership  of
Common Stock to more than five percent of the total outstanding shares.   
     
     Acquisition by the  reporting person of  voting and dispositive  power
with respect to  the Trust Shares resulted from the  death, on February 16,
1994, of  Russell S. Hughes  (the "Grantor"),  grantor of   the RSH  Trust.
Under the terms of the Trust Agreement, after the death of the Grantor, Sun
Bank,  N.A. (the  "Trustee"), as  trustee  of the  RSH Trust,  may exercise
voting and  dispositive powers with respect  to the Trust  Shares only with
the written consent of the reporting person and one other person designated
in the Trust Agreement.  

     Prior to his death,  the Grantor reported his beneficial  ownership of
the  Trust Shares on Schedule 13G, the  last such report being Amendment 13
to Schedule  13G dated May  4, 1991.   Prior to the  date of  the Grantor's
death his beneficial ownership  of Common Stock constituted less  than five
percent of the outstanding shares as a result of increases in the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding.  

     The  acquisition of  the Trust  Shares, when  added  to the  shares of
Common  Stock already  beneficially owned  by the  reporting person  on the
acquisition date, increased the  reporting person's beneficial ownership of
Common Stock to more than five percent of the shares then outstanding.

     The  following table sets forth  the number of  shares of Common Stock
beneficially  owned by  the reporting  person upon  his acquisition  of the
Trust Shares  and the changes in  his beneficial ownership of  Common Stock
from the date of his acquisition of the Trust Shares until the date of this
Schedule:

                         Shares Beneficially Owned,
                              Acquisitions and
