s'You say for Senator Hanna young
man that Senator Hanna is in active bus
mess and he is going to stay in business. )"
said the Ohio Senator this morning when
the News correspondent showed him a
story in New York paper to the effect
that he had SO disposed of his business
as to leave him free to devote his entire
time to politics.
Senator Hanna came to Jersey City
this morning to start on Clement A. Girls
CONS steam yacht Alvina, on which he
he proposes to cruise along the Atlantic
coast this summer. He arrived in the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Station at lilo
o'clock on the private car of G. A. Tur-
naz-th:rd vice president of the Rennsy1-
vania lines west of Pittsburg With him
was Mrs. Hanna. Miss Phelps and Mrs.
Hannas maid.
The train was almost three hours late.
There was no one in the station to meet
the party and Station Master Keiffer es-
corted the travellers down the elevator to
the ferry house where an enclosed auto
mobile awaited them. Senator Hanna
walked with a. cane upon which he leaicts
heavily and he walked as though Ne WIS
feeble and in/ill health. His eye was
bright however and he had CHEEKY,
pleasant smile for all. The automobile
went across Exchange place to Pier B Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at
the foot of Grand street where the Al
vina was moored. Neither Mr.. Griscom OF
any member of his family was on board
and the Senator and his party were wei
coined on Board by Captain Burton
Soon after noon Mr.. Hanna went to
New York. A narrow plank was laid
from the wharf to the poop deck of the
yacht and as the Senator started to care
fully pick his way over it. He was about
half way across when he stopped, hesi-
tated and swayed as if he was losing his
balance. Policeman Brown, who was
on the wharf sprang up the plank and
taking the Senator's hand, led him in
safety to the pier
young man, it is very evident I'm not
as young as used to be" the Senator
said, as he thanked the policeman for his
timely aid. He then got into cab and
was about to drive away when 'sThe
News correspondent spoke to him.
When he had denied that he was going to
retire from business he was asked if he
proposed to continue to take an active
part in politics.

man. he said, and / propose to re-
main in politics until my health makes it
necessary for me to get out"
Before he could be asked anything
further the cab drove away.
At two o'clock Mr. Hanna returned
with Mr.. Griscom and the Alvina got
under way for Oyster Bay.
