Columbus, Ohio, June 1.-The morn
ing of the first day OF the republican
State convention finds the situation in
as much of a middle in the Stats as il
was yesterday. There were conferences
last night, but none bore fruit. Every

else, and it seems that it is going to be
difficult to form q combination. Cox,
Kurtz, McKisson and Daug herty, whose
combined strength seems necessary to
! defeat Hanna's man, have been unab Q
to agree. Congressman Grosvenor said :
1.-THE situation has not changed q peg
since yesterday" Federal employees
declare there is no doubt about Nash,
Hanna's man, organizing the commi =
tee on credentials and being nomina
ted. The Daugherty managers are
! equally confident, saying his delegates
| can never be controlled by Hanna and
as he stands between the factions he is
almost sure of nomination. The anti
Hanna crowd are iubilant over the as
surance given by Senator Foraker to
eX-Mayor McKisson of Cleveland, that
he was with his old time warriors in
this fight on Hanna. The Foraker
ties have been little uncer-
tain as to where their chief stood.
Harry Daugherty was taken i'll sud-
denly in the parlors of the Neill House

Daugherty in the anti.Hanna confer
ence last night was that if they would
nominate him for governor, he would
give them the organization. This was
declined andDaugherty's representative
