Retention Of Guardianship VIII

LFRoM TIE TRmrHF PrREAr.l

Washington. Dec. 14-Senator Hanna has not
definitely decided that he viii not accept the
Craftsmanship Of the nest Republican National
Committee nor viii he announce any decision
before the convention meets. In this the Sena-
tor adheres 10 the consistent position which he
assumed before the second nomination Of Presi-
dent Mckinley. when he said that he could not
rake a decision until the Office had been ten
dered 10 him. and that until the nomination
had actually been made there was no one who
could offer him the place.
Because of the condition Of his health. Senator
Hanna regards the prospect Of being able 10 ac-
oept the Craftsmanship as dubious. and has so
told his friends, but those who know the Sen
ator's enthusiasm when a great Republican vic
tory is in prospect are by no means certain that
an enthusiastic convention and the absence Of
al opposition 70 Presidents Roosevelts nom
ination may not inspire Mr- Hanna with the old
fever Of leadership and once more induce him
to accept the command. provided, OF course. that
mis- physical condition at the time does not rem
der such course impossible.
