A Lively Contest May Be Precipitated

The death of Senator Hoar may precipi-
tate a lively contest for his seat In the

Murray Crane declining to aspire to the
honor 1t Is said that Governor Bates prob
ably will appoint successor to Senator
Hoar to serve until the legislature meets in
January and fills the vacancy by election.
II he appoints MIR. Crane. 1t will be taken
as indication that Mr.. Crane Is willing to
run for the senatorship. and the contest Is
likely to be less vigorous. there will be
little disposition on the part of other as
nirants. it is said. to oppose Mr.. Crane.
Attorney General Moody is said to be the
most probable successor of Senator Hoar
with Mr. Crane eliminated from the aues-
ton. Senator Hoar, in his lifetime ex-
messed preference for this rising young
Massachusetts statesman as his probable
successor. and Mr.. Moody has been regard
ed by many as practically the political helr
of the distinguished senator.
Other candidates for the seat would be
Representative Gillett of the Springfield
district Representative Mccall OF the VIM
chester district and possibly Governor Bates
himself Persons well posted in Massachu-
setts notifies say however that none OF
these could successfully contest with Mr..
Moody.
Among Massachusetts people in Washing

Mr. w Murray Crane could have the place
if he desired it. He has refused several of
fers of executive favor, for Business reasons,
and 1t is not known whether he is really
aVerse to a Washington career or not. his
paper making concern, which is a family
affair and not a corporation. has extensive
contracts with the government. and he has
