Republican Talk.

Republicans are discussing the an- nouncement made yesterday that if a meeting of the State Executive Committee of the party Is forced for the purpose of ''undoing what was done at the conven- tion'' that the late State convention will be reconvened and all that was done there will be ''undone," including the endorse ment of President Roosevelt. The matter has brought out considerable discussion as to the probable candidacy of Senator Mark A. Hanna for the Presidential nomi- nation, and the opinion seems to prevail that Mir. Hanna is candidate and will openly announce 1t in ample time to give his friends an opportunity of getting in
 their work before the convention ot 1904 It is not expected that an announce ment will be made as to his candidacy for the Presidency until he has been re- elected to the United States Senate. If the convention is reasHembled there is no doubt whatever but that Hanna will receive the endorsement
