COLUMBUS. Ohio. Jan. s.-The sem
a,crlal situation has not changed to-
day. The conferences continue day
and night and the doubtful members
ate given no rest. But no such fops
were announced to-day as those OF tho
previous two days In favor OF Hanna.
Irhe workers OF the senator say ther
now have enough voters. The kurtz
workers say they can spare another
vote or two and still defeat Hanna. but
they insist that they have lost all OF
their doubtful men now and will stand
to the last with at least eight Republ!-
cans and the sixty-hve Democratic
members against, Hanna. They even
say tha. they expect to get Manuel, OF
Montgomery, and Griffith, OF Un!on,s
back on their side again before Tues
day. 1t is also claimed by the opposi-
ton that while Senator Hanna's forces
have been charging on their lines that
they have been successfully attacking
his lines and have promises from mem-
be-s on whom the senator has been de-
pending. The Hanna men claim two
accessions to-day, but they will not
give any names as they did those OF
h Representative Manuel Friday night
and OF Representative Griffith last
night, TN
The opposition to Hanna has no bet
ting yet in It's favor. The bets range
from $500 to 5000 for even money in
Hanna's election, have remained posted
Lat the Nell House for two days with
out takers and there are other bets Of
tared among them being one OF $500 by
neral Grosvenor on Hanna's election.
i None Of the bets are on the result OF
the first or any other ballot, but all are
offered on the final result.
While the workers on both sides have
been chasing doubtful members and
holding secret. conferences to-day, the
general public, has been aSitated over
the result tomorrow Of the Inaugural
tion at noon. and the Hanna mass
meeting IN the afternoon. Both sides
are to-day arranging to avoidstreetcol-
l!sions or any kind OF trouble, II poss!-
bic. al that time. The mass meeting

can committee. until 5 p. m, and those

begin the march TO the auditorium for
the mass meetings.
The railroads have arranged to run
the excursion trains for those attend
ing the Inauguration early in the morn
ing and for those coming to the mass
meeting later In the day. The Hanna
men are seeking to have as many here
rs possible In the afternoon and the
opposition is equally energetic in rallr-
Ing all they can in the different coun-
ties for the morning demonstration.
The militia and other organizations are
arriving tonight, TO take part In the
Inauguration. In the morning parade
there will be n marked absence OF Re-
publican clubs. All the police OF the
