 Washington Special to Chicago Chronicle
 Secretary Hay returned this afternoon from his short vacation. coming direct from Oyster Bay, where he had been the guest of President Roosevelt. It is be- lieved hy some who are close to MT. Hay that the real purpose of his visit to Oys- ter Ray was not so much to discuss Rus sian affairs with the President as to urge Senator Hanna either to consent to ac- cept the second place on the Republican national ticket next year or promise to continue as Chairman of the National Committee.
 Either agreement would suit Mir. Roose- welt. but 1t Is said he would rather have Hanna on the ticket with him as a guar anty of the support of the financial in- terests.
 There are few men whose advice or re- quest on either subject would go father with MT. Hanna than that of Mir. Hay. Mir. Hanna has always considered that McKinleys mantle fell on Mir. Hay and MT. Hay has fully as high a regard for Mir. Hanna.
