Death of Senator Hanna Upsets
All Calculations of Repub.

HAD EXPECTED HIS RECOVERY
Fear That Weakening Organization
May Bring Disaster in
Campaign.

Washington. Feb. 17.-Political
leaders of both parties are just be-
ginning to realize how momentous
may be the effect of Senator Hanna's
death. During the time of his acute
illness there was a great deal of talk
as to what might or might not be
done by the republican organiza ton.
and particularly in the state of Ohio.
Through all this talk. however, there
was thread of belief in Senator Han
mas ultimate recovery.
Since his d-ath. and following upon
the formal announcement in the SEN
ate. there has been vast amount of
political gossip amcng men who are
looked up 10 in different sections of
the country.
They all agreed that Senator Han
mas death. coming at the opening of
presidential campaign and probably
f llowed by bitter factiOnal fight in
his home state, will have an extra
ordinary effect upon the next cleo
ton. the extent of which no man can
mt sure.
