NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The announce
ment that ex-senator Hill is not candi-
date for the presidential nomination of
his party in 1904 is made by the Albany
correspondent of Leslie's Weekly in the
current issue. He says:
II have the highest authority for the
statement that Senator Hill is not a
candidate in any sense for the presi-
Dental. nomination and that he IS not
responsible for the action of his friends
end will in no way encourage the con-
tinuance of such action. Whatever S-n-
ator Hills ambition may have been in
the past he treasures no preside ntial am
bition now. He. is engrossed in his law
practice. 1t has grown larger and mere
lucrative each year and his absorption
i'll professional duties gives him little
time and less inclination to respond to
the growing call for him to again assume
the party's leadership.
This reluctance on the part of the
senator to re-enter public life is not
the result of pique or disappointment.
He simply finds greater comfort and en-
joyment in the practice of his profession
and less allurement in the fled OF poll
tics, which has never been a source OF
profit, and oft has given him hardly a
comfortable support
HE NEEDS THE MONEY.
Like every other man VINO reaches
middle life, Senator Hill looks forward
to achieving substantial financial inde-
pendence by maintaining his establish
ed and well settled professional prac-
ice. He is devoting his best energies to
that end and there core he is not inclined
to respond to such calls as have been
made by the Texas legislature and by
prominent Democratic leaders and or
CARNATIONS in the South and West.
There were intimate personal friends
who very much doubted whether he
would consent to lead his party again
in presidential campaign. While he is
aVerse to making public expression of his
feeling in the matter his determination
is no secret. Devoted as he has been
for SO many years to his party's welfare.
