Arthur I. Vorys will be here several

when he would leave Hot Springs. Mr..
Vorys replied, "When we get talked out"
There are many phases of the situation In
Ohio that Will come up for consideration
during Mr.. V0rys' stay here. One of the
subjects, 1t Is believed. that will receive
attention is that relating to the senator
ship When Judge Taft's attention was
called to the absence of any repre- enta-
tive of Senator Foraker, one of the allies
at the Chicago convention, at the recent
gathering of leaders representing various
candidates for the nomination, he replied
that he had seen Senator Dick In Wash
ingtOn before coming here, but gave no
intimation of the purpOrt of The confer.
ence. 1t is believed here that before Mr..
Vorys returns to Ohio there will be some
definite plan of action in relation to the
Foraker men. II is not believed that any
agreement for the support of Mr.. Foraker
by the Taft forces for reelection to the
Senate will be sugge5ted or entertained.
but Mr.. Vorys has been very explicit VIII !,
here in declaring that the managers of
the national campaign in Ohio will pursue
a policy of hands off in relation to the
senatorial situation. When asked whether
that would be possible, he merely repi.ed
by asking whether they had not succeed
