Cincinnati, o., July 2S.-Frank 81.
Hitchcock, chairman Of the republican
national committee, frrived at a. m.
and at once concealed himself in his
room at the Siuton Hotel. All efforts
II get at him were unsyailing. Later
in the morning Hitchcock hsd con-
ference with Judge Taft and Arthur l.
Vorys. Ii is understood that TAFT,
Hitchcock and VoIys talked about SEM.
tor Foraker. Whether the senator ia or
is not to be invited to st.end the Youngs-
town campaign opening, is agitstIng the
republican leaders. They wonld ike TO
have him there If they could DOLLY be az
sured that he would say what they want
him to ssy.
The senst1r, however, has habit of
saying the things that enter his mind
Just at present he is boiling over with
apg ct President Roosevelt and II be
we're to light into the administration
W tn one of mis- chsrat terisiic attacks 1t
would be rather awkward. In view of
this great many republicans think 1t
will be the pert OF wisdom to forget to
invite him to Youngstown. Others as
strt, however, that The senator, having
announced himself IS sDppt rter OF the
candidate, will "be good" and will, if
invited, make one OF his old time rip
rousing speeches.
New York, July u.s. Selection Of
Norman E. Mack of Buffalo as chairman
of the national democratic committee,
the announcement of Governor Hughes
that be is willing 10 accept renomins-
ton and the attitude of "the powers
that be" TO both have the politicians OF
both parties hus,ling here today,
Hughes move has, perhaps, caused
the greater commotion and among the
rep publican machine men the one cry is
"Dare We turn him DOWN.
At Oyster Bay tomorrow State Chair
man Woodruff will have heart to heart
talk with the president and it is expected
that after the interview the republican ma
chine will know where it stands. Up to
the present no one knows whether Mr..
Roosevelt is for or against Governor
Hughes.
The word chow do the people feel"
has gone out TO all the machine men
throughout the state and it Is probable
that on the replies 10 this query which
Woodruff takes TO Oyster Bay the future
of Governor Hughes as republican
politician will hang.
But il the machine men in the repub-
lican camp are puzzled those of the
democratic forces are not less so. De-
spite the fact that Murphy and COnners
have apparently accepted the elevation
of Mack their Coming action is, to the
rank aud file, puzzle. "Will they
lend hand to win New York for Bryan
or will they throw Bryan down to get
slap at Mack"
"Why is it that the national head
q iarlers for Il @ de0 oratlc camp ign are
to be in Chlcago?" But to all questions
Connors and Murphy sre silent. Chair
man Mack, however, is coming to New
York this week and it is hoped that then
the situation will clear.
