CRANE MAY SUCCEED HANNA.
Mentioned for Chairman Republic
an National Committee.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL

hfC6l1S
Boston. Mass, Aug. 4-The mention OF
Governor Crane as tha next chairman Of the
Republican National Committee to succeed
Senator Hanna Is regarded by prominent
party men In Boston as worthy OF more
consideration than Is generally accorded to
political rumors started 50 far ahead Of tho
time.
While Il can be said on highest authority
that Governor Crane has not been ap-
preached recently regarding the matter, SO
Tar from being a subject for conjecture
there Is reason to believe that his selection
as Senator Hanna's successor lacks but 1T
tie of being an accomplished fact.
Party leaders here will not commit them
selves further than to state that Governor
Cranes selection seems very plausible. They
point to his very friendly relations with
President Roosevelt and the Presidents ex-
pressed preference for the Governors opin-
Ions regarding various important matters,
The offer OF the Treasury portfolio ia cited
as an outward manifestation Of this regard
on the part of the President.
Governor Cranes appointment would not
necessarily mean that Ambassador Meyer
would re1inquish his membership as the
Massachusetts, member Of the National
Committee. It is possible that he might
choose to withdraw. but former national
campaigns offer ample precedent for his
remaining.

PREPARES TO GRADE

Park View Realty President Says
Company Has Made Exposition
Its Last Offer.

The latest move in regard to the Catlin
tract Is the preparations of the owners to

Pany was at work yesterday getting levels
for the grades which are to be run on that
somewhat famous territory.
President Thomas Wright of the Park
View Realty Company said that 1t was i'm
material to his corporation whether the
Exposition Company desired to rent the
property. He added that more could be
realized out of the offers made for this
ground for railway and manufacturing sites
than could be realized out of the Exposi-
tion offer TO rent the ground.
As to the talk of erecting a high board
fence along the north end of the Worlds
Fair site. said Mr.. Wright: That does not
worry us. We know that the Exposition
management has got TO punch Sateways
through their fence all along the north end
where 1t runs parallel with Lindell boule-
bard. The fence proposition is a good thing
for US. We may erect another fence just
outside Of the one built by the Exposition.
Such splendid idea for advertising pur-
poses was never planned. We have enough
applications for advertisements on this

from the Catlin tract. but will insist that
it be given place on the north to unload

Nothing has been heard by us from the
offer made by Mr.. Ramsey of the Wabash
on our behalf to the Worlds Fair manage
ment. The objectionable conditions found
in the offer. including the treatment OF the
