The offer was accepted by Mr.. Hanna.
who said when the convention had ad-
journed and he had been reelected chair
man of the National Committee, that he
intended to spend several weeks in New
York and vicinity during the summer to
help manage the campaign in the East
ern States. In September he will return
to Chicago, where the National headquar-
ters for the Western States will be To-
Gated, but he expects to make flying trips
to New York headquarters up to week
or so before election day
IT is understood that Mr.. Hanna does
not come East to take the active manage
ment of the campaign here. That work
is to be done by his friend, Congressman
Grosvenor, John H. Manley and other
veteran managers of National campaigns.
Senator Hanna will take charge of the
more important work of collecting cam
paign funds from the National banks, the
great trusts and railroad combinations,
the Wall street brokers, and the English
financiers who contributed immense sums
to the Republican campaign fund in 1896.
The Beef Trust, the Standard Oil Trust,
the Steel Trust, the Coal Trust, and all
the other combines of capitalists in the
United States are each represented in
New York city by company that does
the financiering for the trusts and COM
bines. The great banking firms of Eng
land and Europe have their representa-
tfves in New York also. 1t is the finan-
cial centre of the United States There
fore by locating in Elberon for several
Mv E{an rr-fI1 nj.
with those who are expected to open their
purses or sign checks for big sums Of
money for the campaign
The presence of Hanna will make
Elberon the Mecca of the Republican
leaders in the East until the first week of
September. The fact that he is to come
here has been kept secret by his friends.
When it is generally known it will prob
ably cause the hotels here and at all the
resorts along the New Jersey coast to be
crowded with politicians.
Mr.. Hanna is expected to spend only
part of the time mere, for he will be called
to New York. Philadelphia and the New
England cities for conferences with lead
ers in different States. But intimate
friends say he hopes to spend nearly all
of his evenings at the Murphy cottage,
at least for the first three weeks after
his arrival in order to rest and recuper-
ate for the hustling work of the campaign
of September and October
One of the friends of the chief of the
Republican party said that Mr.. Hanna
expects to have harder struggle to de-
feat William Jennings Bryan than in 1895,
for he realizes that hundreds of thou
sands of Democrats who voted for Nc
Kinley then, or did not vote at all, will
vote the Democratic ticket next fall.
Therefore he came East to arouse the
Republican leaders in every State and put
some ginger in the campaign.
In the Murphy cottage the plan of
campaign for each of the Eastern States
will probaibly be mapped out and per-
fected, and the plan for the Western
States may be arranged also, so that
when Mr.. Hanna leaves Eiberon in Sep
tember the campaign will boom in every
State until the election day in November.
