There is stir in Official circles
over the Gubernatorisl question. II

in harmony, as several of the most
influential local leaders Of the city
have openly expressed themselves for

powers Of the party recognize the
fact that he has following that will
be hard to overcome. They found
they could not win with Hodges and

1t Was Heart Failure

1NDIANAPoLIs, IND, Nov. 23.-Alvin P.
Hovey, governor of Indiana, died at l 20
this afternoon of heart failure, in his room
at the Denison hotel. About three weeks
ago Gov. Hovey started on pleasure trip
through the West and Mexico. When the
trip had been about half completed the gov
ernor was taken suddenly i'll and had 20 re-
turn home. He and his party arrived here
last Wednesday night, since which time
he has been in bed.
Governor HCVey was born in Posey
county, near Mount Vernon, Ind, in 1921.
He served one term in congress, and was
elected governor in 1889. Governor Hovey
was twice married; his first wife died in
1862. His second wife was a daughter of
the late Caleb B. Smith, secretary Of the
interior under President Lincoln, and she
died in 1865. two weeks after marriage, in
New York city while en- route to Peru, to
which country Gen. Bovey had been APP
pointed minister.
When the war broke out he enlisted as
colonel of the Twenty fourth Indiana; was
commissioned brigadier-general for gal
lantry at Shiloh, and he won his major
eeneralship at Champion Hills. At the
close of the war he was military governor
of Indiana, and upon him devolved the re-
sponslbllity of the celebrated treason trials
in which Miligan, Bowles and Humphrey
were convicted only to be pardoned by
President Lincoln. Two children survive,
one being the wife of Mai. NIanziers, and
the other Charles P, who is postmaster at
Mt. Vernon, Ind.
