CONDITION A
Physicians Puzzled Over Malady Of
Senator M. A. Hanna.

Washington. d. c., Feb. 4.-Senator
M. A .Hanna passed a fairly comfort.
able night at his Arlington hotel apart,
ments. The congestive chill did not
return. The senator's condition is a
mystery to his physicians. A consulta.
ton was held this morning by Drs.
Rixey, Brewer and Magruder, and sam
pies of blood were taken for analysis.
The senator's malady is character.
lied as la grippe. There are fears.
however, of typhoid. A further con
s%ultation of physicians will be held.
After the consultation of half a dozen
physicians this afternoon, ii was felt
that the senator's condition was seri-
Gus, as well as mysterious, and the
greatest care will be taken to pull him
through the present crisis. The trou.
BILE is that the senator himself regards
his condition as critical and fears he
may depart as rapidly and ~unexpect-
euiy as did former Secretary of the
Navy Whitney.
The physicians bulletin this after
noon says: After consultation this
morning, no new feature was found
in MI. Hanna's condition. He is suf-
fering from a recurrant attack of la
grippe, with unusual physical depres-
sion. There are no alarming symp-
toms and no reason to believe that re-
covery will not take place in a reason

Peril Of the Present Situation
nec,al 10 Times Republican

Special to Times Republican,
Iowa City. Feb F.--Would Con-
gresham Martin J. Wade, run for the
presidential nomination IL sufficient
pressure we're brought to bear upon
him by his friends in the second dis
trict? That is the question that
prominent democrats in this part OF
Iowa are asking themselves. since it
has been understood that the party
might split into a Hearst and anti
Hearst faction.
The second district is the leader in
the Iowa democratic councils, and it is
conceded that the way this, the only
district in which the democrats have
polled a succesfulu vote in years. goes,
SO the rest of the state will incline.
When it was intimated here last week
that neither Wade or Jerry S. Sullivan
would support Hearst unless the New
York congressman showed greater
strength, it was apparent that the Iowa
democrats had split.
Inc peru OIL tue presehe siuhs'oii
was Immediately understood and since
then many attempts have been made to
straighten out the difficulty. In this
connection it has been suggested that
the friends of Wade should place
his name before the people as presi-
dentian possibility. Whether this means
that Wade would actually make the
attempt to secure the nomination can
not be learned 1t seems to be the idea.
however. that Wade's name would
unite the now separated democrats
and the delegates would go to st. Louis
as a unit.
