WASHINGTON. Dec. 3O.-Judge William r.
Day,!Assistant Secretary Of State, left Washing
ton for his home in Canton. o.. tonight. and it
is reported that tho private business" which
has called him away is the caucus of the Repub-
lican members Of the Ohio Legislature on Satur-
day night to decide on a successor to Senator
Hanna. Judge Day said he would return to
whether politics had anything to do with his
trip. Judge Day Is looked upon in Washington
as the personal representative of President Nc
kinley in Ohio affairs. They are intimate friends
and were neighbors in Canton, and proof of the
high regard in which the President holds the
Assistant Secretary has been given in the offer
to mako him Attorney-General and in placing
him in charge Of Cuban, matters and all ques:
States and Spain. President Mckinley has the
Interests Of Senator Hanna at, heart. and will
use all his influence to secure his return to the
Senate. With Judge Day on the ground as his
personal representative. the chances of Mr..
Hanna might bo decidedly improved, although
there is a belief in official circles. which Is
shared by Mr.. Mckinley, that Mr.. Hanna will
