Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, November 6.-Senator

to say anything about the recent election
beyond expressing his satisfaction that the
republicans should retain the control of
the general assembly. He refused to say
whom he intended to support in the contest
for Senator Germans seat, but intimated
to his friends that he would suppress Judge
Louis E. McComas' chances.
Local politicians feel that Mr.. Wellington
will prove the dominant factor in deciding
tie fight, and his attitude will attract great
interest
The question of the presidency of the
state senate Is also arousing interest,
Chairman Norman B. Scott. the senator
frcm Washington county, annouced his
candidacy today, and Senators Randall of
Anne Arundel, Dryden of Somerset and VIII

Opposition to Ohio Senator Taking
on Definite Shape.
BE WILL Be TIE CAUCUS NOMINEE
His Enemies Claim They Have
Sixteen Votes Pledged.
OTHER SIDE CONFIDENT

COLUMBUS, Ohio. November 6.-The
contest for control of the Ohio legislature
is considered ended today The official
counting in some counties will contiue next
week. but there has been such close watch
ing that no material changes are expected.
The indications are that the senate will
stand 10 democrats and II republicans and
the house 81 democrats and 5S republicans.
with majority Of republicans on joint
ballot. There may be several contested
seats, but these cannot be considered till
the legislature meets the first Monday in
January next. Since it seems to be settled
that the republicans have a small majority
on joint ballot, the rumors are revived
about a combine of certain republican
members with the seventy democratic
members for the election of some one other
than Senator Hanna on the joint ballot.
Caucus Will Nominate.
When Senator Foraker was indorsed by
the republican state convention two years
ago for his present position in the Senate
there was no legislative caucus. 1t is an
nounced now that there will be a republi-
can senatorial caucus when the legislature
convenes next January. Senator Hanna
was indorsed at the last state convention
for the senate, but the old factional fight
that formerly existed between Sherman
and Foraker's following and later between
the friends of Mckinley and Foraker has
been revived this year with more intense
feeling than heretofore. 1t is said that
there about dozen of the republican
members who had some factional opposi-
ton in their counties, especially for their
nominations, who do not feel kindly to-
ward the Junior Ohio senator.
Talk of Combines.
There has been so much talk about COM
h bot &c tot, hot tbo
will hold joint caucus for the nomination
of candidate for senator, and Senator
Hanna WILL no doubt be the caucus NOM
inee. 1t is thought that as the regular
nominee there will be no trouble about his
election, as none of the republican men,
berS would refuse under the circumSt tances
eltEer to enter the caucus or TO support it's
nominee. There are some republicans. who
are not members CT the legislature who
are said to be working for an anti-fIanna
combine, but none of the members are
known to favor such a movement. Gov.
Bushnell will have a democratic senate on
which to depend for the confirmation of his
appointments, and no partisan legislation
can be passed.
After State Patronage
In addition to watching the official count
ing, the representatives of candidates are
out IN the counties seeing the members
elect for support in the offices at the Or
Sanizatlon of both branches and the sena-
'orial question Will enter largely into the

CLEVELAND, OHIO, November 6-Ohio
promises to be the political storm center of
the country until January l. when the gem
eral assembly meets and elects a senator.
me anti-Hdnna fight in the republican
ranks is just formidable enough to keep
Mr. Hanna on the anxious seat until he has
been elected to the Senate. The anti-Han-
Mates claim that they have sixteen votes
IN the next general assembly which can be
depended on with reasonable certainty
Zen OF these, they say. are sure to stick.
If their clans are only partially true they
are sure to defeat Mr.. Hanna If they are
wholly correct they may regain the PARTY
leadership, of which he has deprived Them
Their present plan Is to urge either Mayor
Mckissen of this city or Chas. Kurtz of
Columbus for the short term in the Senate
ana Governor Bushnell for the long term
The original term of ex-senator Sherman
1t VIII be remembered, does not expire for
nearly year yet. and the first act of the
general assembly will be to fill their short
term This same assembly will also fill the
long term.
Will Not COalcscc With Democrats.
Anti-Hanna leaders will not form Goa
liticn with the democratic members OF the
next general assembly, with the end in
view of doing Hanna. They insist they
have enough strength Of their own to pre-
vent Mr.. Hanna $ election, and that in the
end the republican members of the assem-
bly,, together with some democrats, posi-
bly,, will unite with them in the interests of
harmony, and victory will he theirs
The reports sent out yesterday quoting
Mr.. Eurtz as predicting that Mr. Hanna
would be the next United States Senator
from Ohio, prove to have been false Mr..
kurtz now denies that he ever made such
Il prediction.
Mr.. Hanna is prepared to fight for the

rest. He will leave for the east Monday to
be gone about ten days.
He expects to address the Marquette
Club at Boston some evening next week
Col. Dick, Senator Hanna's manager, de-
clared this morning that Chairman Nc
Coiiville's reported scheme to prevent the
Issuance of election certificates to repub-
licans by getting out injunctions against
the county election boards was nonsense
They cannot make any headway with any
such scheme" said Col Dick '~rhe election
boards will be carefully watched If Mr..
McConville attempts to get out injunctions
against them we will promptly ask the
courts to issue mandamus against them To
compel them to issue the certificates
Col. Dick will have charge of Senator

WANTED FOR EMBEZZLENENT.
Charles :. Newhall, of Melrose, Mass,
Arrested at Southwest Harbor.


Charles S. Newhall, of Melrose, Mass,
wanted for embeZzlement OF some $4,000
from insurance and banking corporations
and Congregational church in Melrose,
was arrested at Southwest Harbor Thurs
day.
The police have been looking for New
hail since early in June. He came direct
from Boston to Southwest Harbor, here,
under the name OF William II. Bartlett, he
has been employed by w. Z. Gilley.
He is about thirty-one years of age, and
had always been considered model
young man.
THE AMERICANS Southwest Harbor
correspondent writes;
The village was considerably aston
ished to find out that ii had been harbor-
ing a young man whom Boston police Of
ticers were hunting high and low for
Newhall, the Melrose defaulter.
"New hall had been here since the last
of June boarding with Capt w. z. Gilley
He was quiet, gentlemanly fellow. He
plaved ball with the Mort beast HarboI
bows against Bass Harbor July /. He
worked on the boat slip for Capt. Gilley
and was general favorite with the sum
mer people because OF his polite ways
good looks and willingness to serve
Those, however, who were most intimate
with him declare that they had a vague
idea something was wrong with the man
He had moody spells, and was never seer
to smile. AS he claimed to be in i'll health
that had been one explanation. The rea
explanation has now come.
"Some of the Boston newspaper reports
of his arrest were almost grotesquely I'M
true. These newspapers-someo of them
take a couple OF simple facts or SO, anc
let their fertile imaginations play arounc
them, diluting them, spreading them out
and 10, what a story!"

seine fishing in Bluehill bay, which had
been avoided by the substitution in the
law Of the word "mainland" for ''land",
and would prove simply that the de-
PENDANT had illegally taken porgies in
the waters of Bluehill bay within line
three miles long drawn from msinlsnd to
mainland.
Lawyer Hilton here made another
argument for dismissal on the ground
that "three miles from mainland to
mainland" referred only to the entrance
of bays and not to coves within bays.
The court ruled in favor OF the prosecu-
tion's Interpretation OF the law.
The case was then placed on trial. The
State called about ten witnesses, who
testified to having seen the steamer Sea
comet" taking fish in cove inside a
line three miles long from mainland to
mainland. The defence was Il simple
denial OF the allegations.
Judge Peters found the defendant
guilty, and imposed a fine Of 300 and
costs, which amount to netting like
500 more. Defendant appealed, and
furnished bonds in the sum of $500 to
appear at the supreme court in October.

within week and brought here for trial.
