Philadelphia. May 23.-Charles NJ
Scheffer, superintendent of telegraph of

speaking of the removal of the West

Pennsylvania lines, said:
The Western Union company, under
its contract with the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, bound itself, upon
six months notice after the termination
of the contract, to remove its poles and
wires from the property of the railroad
company and upon failure 70 do so the
contract provided that the PennsylN

the Western Union company evidently
preferred to allow the Pennsylvania
company to tear them down and re-

a contract with the Postal Telegraph

on its lines, was compelled to remove
the poles and wires of the Western

Chicago, May 23.-GeneraI managers
of the various railroads centering in
Chicago would not commit themselves
today by expressing an opinion on the

however, that their answer viii be a re-

SENATOR HANNA
VET0ES SCHEME
Ohio Republicans Not to Endorse
Roosevelt This Year.
NOT A CANDIDATE HIMSELF
OTHERS WITH ASPIRATIONS
ARE CONSIDERED.

= LEVELAND. O., May Ex-senator
Hanna, in an interview this after
noon concerning widely circulated
reports as to his position in connection
with a proposed resolution to be in
PRODUCED at the coming state Repub-
lican convention endorsing President
Roosevelt for a second term, made the
following statement to the Associated
Press:
Il have seen the reported interview
with Senator Foraker with reference to
the proposed endorsement of the nom
1nauon of President Roosevelt by the
next Ohio Republican state convention
At the outset ] want to deny that Mr.
Dever, my private secretary. or. so far
as know. any of my friends had any
thing TO do with raising this question
The first L knew of it was when /
read in the papers a previous interview
with Senator Foraker. which / con-
strued as an expression of his own per-
SonaL views. This was followed by an
interview with General GrOsvenOr
along the same lines. These made IL
appear that there was a disposition on
the part Of some people to suggest some
such action by the convention.
Not the Proper Thing.
Il certainly have no criticism to
10 entertain or express such views. but
] certainly do cTiucise the prOpriety
OF action along that line by the dele
gates 10 the state convention, who are
chosen for the purpose of nominating d
state ticket. 1t does not appear to me
TO be entirely proper for this cOnven-
ton 10 assume the prerOgative Of the
one to be chosen in 1904, and upon
which one viii rest the responsibility Of
representing and expressing the senu-
ment in our state for any candidate
1T would seem unnecessary for me
to- say that these conclusions are in
no way Influenced by any personal
desires or ambitions of my own.
Il have often stated. both privately
and publicly. that I am not and VIII
not be a candidate Tor the presidency
His Toga at Stake.
ION account Of my position as chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee, and the further fact that this
year 1 am supposed TO have a vital in
terest in the results in Ohio as bearing
upon my reelection to the United
States senate, it would be presumed
that I might have some influence as
To the policy or action of the state con-
VentiOn this year in national affairs.
In that connection it would seem
apparent that whatever the influence
might be, il had been eXerted in a d.
TcctiOn which would cause just criti-
eism on the part of any other person
who might aspires 10 be candidate
Tor the Republican nomination Cor pres
idenu in 1904 For those reasons 1 am
opposed TO the adoption Of such a resO-
luton"
