Dick. of Ohio, who was elected to the
seat held by the late Marcus a. Hanna
in the United States Senate, arrived
in Chicago to-day and at the national
Republican headquarters bluntly de-
clared his opinion that the announce

withdraw from politics as given out at
New York is an attempt to throw
dust in the eyes of the people and not

Maryland Republican State Commit

Senator Dick is chairman of the Re
publican State Executive Committee

among political leaders as a contiden-
tial lieutenant of Senator Hanna.

policy of that gentleman in the past

Jimmy Britt Has Discarded the
Plaster Cast.
Had Carried His Arm Wrapped
Since COrbett Fight.
THINKS 1T SOUND NOW.
Jack MunrOe Has at Last Been
Located by Friends.
Big Miner Getting in Shape for
Battle at Hot Springs.

New York, May 13.-For the first
time since his battle with Young Cor
bett Jimmy Britt yesterday discarded
the plaster cast in which he has car
ried around his injured arm. Britt
claims to have hurt his arm in the
eighth round of his battle with Cor
bett.
When the cast was removed the in
jured member showed a slight swell
ling, but the champion was able to
move his hand with the same freedom
as he could before the accident. He
believes that he will be able to do
light sparring in a few days, but that
it will be some time before he can
enter the ring to fight
Britt expects to leave for Boston IN
a couple of days, where he will try
his monologue act on the Boston
sports.
Jack MunrOe. who has been worry
ing the Frisco sports by his mysterious
wherea bouts, has been located. Ac-
cording to a letter received by Kid
Mccoy at his training quarters at
White Plains. Munroe had been doing
light training at Hot Springs. In his
letter Munroe said that he would start
for the coast on last Saturday and go
into active training just as soon as he
reached San Francisco.
Munroe made a strong plea for Nc
Coy to join him in San Francisco and
get him in shape for his battle with
Champion Jeffries. 1t was Mccoy
who took the big miner and coached
him with such good results in his con-
test with Tom Sharkey. Munroe has
great respect for McCoy's ability and
he believes that with the Hoosier box
er's assistance he could come pretty
near defeating the champion.
Mccoy has not yet made UP his
mind to go west. If he can secure a
match with some good middleweight
he will go to California. He is anxious
to have Fitzsimmons meet him in San
Francisco and he says that the pro-
meters Will offer a big inducement for
the bout to take place on the Fourth
of Univ
