HANNA WOULD REFUSE.
Says Nomination for Tice-President
Could Not Be Forced on HIM.

Cleveland June 21.-Senator Hanna reiterated
to-day his recent statement that he was not and
would not be candidate for Vice-President,
and, If nominated. that he would decline He
said. further, that his ambitions did not lie II
the direction of the White House and that moth
ing could induce him to alter his decision.
Colonel Myron T Herrick who has also been
mentioned in connection with the Vice=Presi-
dency, said that his sole political ambition was
to be Governor of Ohio. Colonel Herrick thinks
that the present discussion relative to candi-
date for ice-President is fnopportune.
When the refusal of the nomination for Vice
President by Mr. Roosevelt was cited to Mr..
Hanna as an illustration of how public men
sometimes change their views. and when it was
intimated to him that the convention might
force the nomination him, Senator Hanna
said that men in public life who knew him knew
very well that nothing could be forced on him.
