We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

259 \(\Rightarrow\) 5
given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication Reference
259 \(\Rightarrow\) 51 Variations of Zorn's lemma, principles of cofinality, and Hausdorff's maximal principle, Part I and II, Harper, J. 1976, Notre Dame J. Formal Logic
51 \(\Rightarrow\) 337 Non-constructive properties of the real numbers, Howard, P. 2001, Math. Logic Quart.
337 \(\Rightarrow\) 92 clear
92 \(\Rightarrow\) 94 clear
94 \(\Rightarrow\) 5 clear

Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:

Howard-Rubin Number Statement
259:

\(Z(TR\&C,W)\): If \((X,R)\) is a transitive and connected relation in which every well ordered subset has an upper bound, then \((X,R)\) has a maximal element.

51:

Cofinality Principle: Every linear ordering has a cofinal sub well ordering.  Sierpi\'nski [1918], p 117.

337:

\(C(WO\), uniformly linearly ordered):  If \(X\) is a well ordered collection of non-empty sets and there is a function \(f\) defined on \(X\) such that for every \(x\in X\), \(f(x)\) is a linear ordering of \(x\), then there is a choice function for \(X\).

92:

\(C(WO,{\Bbb R})\):  Every well ordered family of non-empty subsets of \({\Bbb R}\) has a choice function.

94:

\(C(\aleph_{0},\infty,{\Bbb R})\): Every denumerable family of non-empty sets of reals  has a choice function. Jech [1973b], p 148 prob 10.1.

5:

\(C(\aleph_0,\aleph_0,\Bbb R)\): Every denumerable set of non-empty denumerable subsets of \({\Bbb R}\) has a choice function.
