his duty lies in assuming the management
Of the campaign after the conven.

very good authority that II the
National Committee and Msjor McKin-

do SO Coupled with this is the further
statement that the headquarters will be
Ia New York. This statement is made
from an authority as near the source Of
power as anything that has yet been
published.
Opposition TO Mr.. Hanna Developing.
Strong opposition to Mr.. Hanna is de-

Hanna has bean surrounded for the last
month with men who have been 80 anx-

that they have possibly given him

All these things, however. will be
fully discussed. and although 1t

Hanna to accept the management Of the
campaign, the matter cannot be said to
have been settled that way. II Mr..

recognized choice OF a great number OF
