Hanna Retires In Favor OF Grosvenor
Nominations.

Columbus. April 24.-(Spl.) There
isn't much interest manifested in the
state Republican convention which
opens here this afternoon at o'clock.
The delegates are slow in arriving and
there is almost an entire absence of the
usual excitement and turmoil preceding
tho state meetings of the Republican
party. This is due Of course to the
fact that there are no contests to speak
of, aud therefore nothing to bring the
people here.
Interest, what there is Of it, centers
principally around the outcome of the
fight for the nomination for dairy ana
food commissioner and this is practi.
cniy settled. There are three candl-
dates, Byron Lutz, Senator HarbauEh
aud the present incumbent, Joseph Il.
Blackburn, who Is trying for a third
term Blackburn will be nominated,
at least that was the assurance given
out from the headquarters of the party
leaders last night, and since 1t comes
direct from General G. w. F. Dick, it
is supposed to he accurate.
There is one other matter Of interest,
namely, the selection of the four dele
gates Mt large and the presidential
electors. Senator Hanna, who was in
cludcd in the quartet from the start,
arrived here late last night not to see
TO II that his name is not omitted from
the list, but Ia insist that il be clini-
mated. The Senator'S health is still
much impaired and he does not want
to attend the convention as one of the
Big -Four. SO he is coming to announce
that he will not serve, and to have tho
nnmc OF Congressman Grosvenor sub
stituted. This makes the list, Gros-
venor, Nash, Foraker and Dick.
For Presidential electors, Hon, r. NJ.
Nevin of Dayton. temporary chairman
of the convention and Myron Il. Her.
rick of Cleveland, will be chosen, This
is already fixed
With the Held clear for Laylin for
secretary of the state, and the contest
for the nomination for dairy and food
commissioner decided, and delegates
at-largc, and presidential electors de-
cidcd in advance, there is really little
| for the convention to do and It's pro-
ceedlngs are expected TO he very dull
and perfunctory.
There Is the platform, Of course but
this has boon drafted for several
weeks, II will reafllrm the declara.
tlons OF four years ago, and will be en-.
larged by the addition Of planks Ell.
dorsing the Presidents policy with ref
erence to the treatment OF Cuba and
Porto Rico and his Administration.

Claim That He Was Too
Aged
TO Make Disposition Of His
Property.
Executors Of Cornell Will Have Little
Left to Distribute.

six children of the late George Ley
OF Waterloo, have asked the court to
set aside the provisions of their fathers
will.
He left an estate that is estimated
to be worth from $4,000 to $4,000.
1t consists of farm of IT'S acres In
Coventry township and considerable
arnount of personal property.
1t is alleged by the balance of the
children that Theodore Ley dictated
the alleged will of his father to Squire
j l.. Porter of Coventry, and that the
same was never read to or by the old
man. They claim that their father was
not capable Of making will and that
for Ave years previous to his death he
was not able to recognize his best
friends. They charge that Theodore
used undue influence and that he pre-
judced his father against the balance
of the children They are unable to
make any estimate of the value Of the
personal property. It is alleged that
Theodore took possession Of all Of his
fathers papers the day following his
death, In Probate court the will was
admitted to probate but the codicil to
the will was thrown out.
CAN ACT, AS NOTARIES.
An act passed by the last legislature
gives attorneys authority to swear
clients to petitions which were drafted
by them. Several local attorneys have
already taken advantage of the new
law. 1t is great convenience as
heretofore 1t was necessary to have a
notary, not connected with the law
firm which represented the plaintiff,
swear the plaintiff TO the petition.
