SCOTT DEFENDS HANNA.
Delay I'm Calling Convention Not for
Personal Reason.

Delay in Calling Convention Not for
Personal Reason.
Because reports have recently been
put into circulation from sources I'M
friendly to President Roosevelt that
Senator Hanna had neglected to call
the republican national convention in
order that he. as Mr. Roosevelt's oppo
nent for the nomination. might reap
some benefit from the delay, Senator
Scott, of West Virginia, who is a
member of the executive committee
OF the national committee and also
chairman of the subcommittee having
charge of the arrangements OF the con-
vention, Yesterday denied emphatical-
/ ly that the Ohioan had any such idea
| in his mind.
Mr.. Scott is we'll known TO be in
favor OF Senator Hanna as the next
occupant of the White House. but this
fact does not detract from the en-
phasis with which lie scored the at
tempts that are being made to cause
trouble within the republican ranks.
"There is no studied attempt to
withhold the call of the convention. -
said Senator Scott, . and there could be
no possible political advantage to any
body in holding back the call. 1t is
utterly Dreposterous to suppose that
Senator Hanna is doing or would do
such thing. Senator Hanna would
net play cortemntible trick upon eve
democrat in national campaign
He is too good republican and too
fair a fighter to stoop TO such piac-
tice. Moreover. supposing that he
was capable Of such thing, which is
incredible, what possible purpose
could he accomplish?
The delay in putting out the call.
which is not unreasonable. is easily
accounted for in ny mind, although l
have had no communication with
Senator Hanna upon the subjects
Immediately after the national COM
mittee meeting Senator Hanna fel
sick in New York. Then he went TO
Ohio. where he has had has hands full
of senatorial and legislative matters.
His private secretary, Mr. Dover, who
is the assistant secretary OF the COM
mittee, doubtless has been equally as
busy. The secretary of the COM
mittee. Mr.. Heath, has been in the
West engaged, upon his personal at
fairs, and thus it seems to me that
there are logical reasons for explain
ing the DELAY.
"All of this talk alleging unworthy
moves to Senator Hanna is absolutely
without foundation and is designed
only to endeavor to make, bIea h
between the president and Senate
Hanna aud to embarrass the national
committee. 7
