Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 20.-The COM
ing of Senator Quay into Ohio has caused
intense interest at the Mckinley headquar-
tiers here and is regarded by Mr.. Hanna as
an Indication that Senator Quay is prepar-
ing to capitulate. The news of Mr.. Quay's
coming reached Cleveland after ex-Gov.
Mckinley had departed for Canton yester-
day, but was impaired to him there last
evening. and the word that came back was
1.-THE latch string of Mckinley's home is
always out to republicans"
The news was read at the Hanna head
quarters with evident pleasure on the part
of the Mckinley managers, though they
professed to have no other information ON
the matter than that contained in the press
dispatches. Mr.. Hanna was asked for his
view of the significance of the trip, and ne
laughed. He said simply that he hardly
believed Quay would go to Canton at all.
About the offices it is believed that # he
should go, the interview with Maj. Mcktn-
ley would be in the nature OF suit for
peace. 1t is noticed that the proposed visit
would follow upon the recent interview
between Quay and Plltt.
\ leading republican politician who is in
close touch with tie Mckinley leaders,
said today: There is no doubt that d
strong effort will nov be made to induce
Tom Reed to accept a place in the cabinet
as Secretary of State, and that strong in
ducements will be given Quay to join the
Mckinley procession if he comes TO Ohio.
while Mckinley feels that he has votes
and to spare, there is always a certain
nervousness just prior to a convention that
leads Candidates to accept recruits not
deemed absolutely essential That seems
to be the situation, and l think Quay feels
that Now is the time to subscribe"
