TRACKED ROOSEVELT That's What Hanna Says Sen-- ator Foraker Has Done
 for Teddy. IMPRESSION THAT ROOSEVELT HAD TAKEN SIDES AGAINST
 HANNA
Was Brought About by the Presidents Withdrawal of Appointment of
 Hanna Man.
PRESIDENT FALLS INTO A TRAr.

Washington. Dec, 24-Despfte= h. decision not to become involved in th, Ohio political fight in which Senato, Hanna and Senator Foraker are de- perately pitted against each other. President Roosevelt has been entran ped into taking sides on behalf of Sen | ator Foraker. The president hearrs with amazement that the Ohio news papers were blazing with headlines announcing that he had cast his polit ieal fortunes with those of Senator Foraker, and against thise of Senator Hanna
 This came about through the witir draWal by the president of the natlt, of George H. Dunham, of Ohio, to lt. deputy auditor for the interior depart 1 ment.
 The circumstances. IS related parr ly by the friends of Senator Hanna. and partly by the president To the. friends of Durham, would indicatta that an explanation from Se9af6.- laofaker to the president would be nec essa1I. Dunham is aH Ohio politician | living in q county adjacent to that q : Senator Foraker. He ms held numct ous offices.
 Senator Foraker objected to tfa confirmation of Dunham when the. name came before the senate fU7 weeks ago. This objection was nada Ill the 2bsenee of Senator Hanna at Boston. Senator Forakers reason. for objecting was that Durham was ail enemy of his The appointment wa ieeommltted to the committee. anH i; last week when Senator Hanna aske.4 Senator Foraker if he wanted ro e0 before the committee on the appoin{ ment, Senator Foraker told him thas i, was not necessary. \ few minutes later a communicn ton from the pres. dent was read withdrawing Dunhan1 . name. That was why it was not ne<e- cssary
 This was the first intimation Scl.. ator Hanna had that Senator Forake, had been to the White House, afil when Senator Hanna inquired al thts White House about it he was informe.t by President Roosevelt that Senator 
 Foraker had told him that this ar. pointment had been made without his. knowledge, and that he would like tt. have the nomination withdrawn i'll or der that he might inquire who Dur ham was and whether he was fit fcs the place.
 The friends of Senator Hanna de clare that the president was tricke6, by Senator Foraker. They charge tha3 Senator Forakcr knows Dunham nut mately. and that the question of ser atorial courtesy cannot enter into 7h@, matter because this is T federal ap pontment not in Ohio. bat in Vast Ington. and that the Senator's purpose in having the nomination withdra 8f. vas to aave the impression spreaa through Ohio that the president 7 against Hanna and for Forakcf.
