A story is going the rounds OF the no
tel lobbies and is causing much amuSe-
ment at the expense of Senator Hanna.
When the Ohio statesman left the Capt.
tai for his home in Cleveland about TIVE
months ago he had the reputation of be
ing one of the shrewdest men in the
country The story Of his undoing is said
to be absolutely true, however. and is
vouched for by Mayor Johnson, of Clevc-
land. and others 1t is related that one
day last week a tall Southerner- called at
Mr- Hanna'S Office and sent word in that
Mr.. Bailey, Of Texas, would like to see
him. Mr.. Bailey was at once admit
ted and swooped down upon the bland
Republican leader with the announce
ment that he f'Hr. BaHey'') was a broth
er Of Senator Bailey Of Texas. and as h
was passing through Cleveland en- route
from the Buffalo Exposition h had con
GUIDED TO drop in and shake hands. Mr.
Hanna did not know whether Senator
Bailey had q brother or not and gave the
stranger the benefit OF the doubt. The
latter at once swung into a general dis
cussion OF politics and politicians and
showed himself thoroughly familiar with
both. The South. Texas politics, the OF
boom. and other matters were gone over
and Mr.. Bailey showed that he was well
posted. His Southern drawl and his an
ecdotes about Southern statesmen de
lighted Mr.. Hanna and when the Sena-
tors private secretary Mr. Dover. en-
tered. he was at once introduced
''You remember Baiiey's brother. don't
you, Dover? This is my secretary, Mr.
Dover" said Mr.. Hanna
Mr. Dover did rot remember Mr.. Bal
iey's brother out he would not admit this
before Senator Hanna Then he with
drew. Within few minutes Mr.. Bal
ley explained that be had spent more
money AT the exposition than he should

then asked If Mr. Hanna could obiige
him with small sum until he got back
home, when he woui2 return it. Mr.. Han
IA was quite taken with the Texan and
said that he could He then passed out

pressing his thanks
Mr.. Hanna later lea rued that Mr. Bal
ley" had resolved himself into Mr.
Hogg.' Of Texas. son Of the old Texas
statesman, and obtained loans from d
number Of other citizens. Later he be
came Mr.. Wise" of Virginia. son of Rep
TeSentatiVe Wise. The Ohio Senator real
lied that for the first time in his life he
had been he victim Of a confidence man
and has been trying TO suppress the story
