q few days after the convention, re-
fuse to accept as final the declination
of Frank II. Hitchcock to accept the
craftsmanship of the national commit
tee. When it was learned to-day
through dispatch from Cincinnati
that Mr.. Hitchcock had asked Score

is this true?" asked Senator War
ner, exhibiting the dispatch as printed
in an afternoon paper.
1T is, replied Mr. Hitchcock. AZ
ter considering the subject carefully,
decided that it would be best not to
permit my name TO come up in con-
nection with the appointment. The fact
is that am physically exhausted and
need rest My health demands that l
take rest. My friends have been very
kind. 1t is only because OF their zeal
in my behalf that regret the neces-
Sity OF retiring.
The members of the delegation pro-
tested that Mr.. Hitchcock was quail
fled to manage the campaign, and when
they left his rooms. they declared they
would not consent to his retirement,
regardless of his wishes in the mat
ter. Mr.. Hitchcock looks worn and
tired. On two nights during the con-
Nention he did not so to bed at all.
SaVprg1 n his nr,,,n friend lie
argued with Mr.. Hitchcock to-day that
lie would have plenty of time to rest
before it became necessary to open
national headquarters, but he gave
them no satisfaction whatever.
That there is considerable number
of members of the national commit
tee opposed to the selection of Mr..
Hitchcock 10 manage the campaign is
admitted. No doubt this is respon-
sible in no small degree for his de-
termination to withdraw from tho race.
He informed some of his friends to-
day that he had accomplished all he
had undertaken, that the nomination
of Mr.. Taft having been made, he
could retire With good grace and the
| secretary, without embarrassment
| could select manager.
! Many names have been mentioned
| for the Craftsmanship since the news
of Mr. Hitchcocks' declination was re-
ceved. Among these are Postmaster
/ General Mover ana former Governor
tMyron T. Herrick, of Ohio. 1t was

evidently bides the daylight hours be-
You'd the Stygnn river, has confined
Its attention to only one house. and In
the most annoying manner possible.
In only one way has 1t made its pres
ence known. and that is by a con-
tinual ringing OF the bell. A week ago
the ringing startled tho inmates OF the
house, one OF whom is a prominent
physician. He answered the bell. but
ial.er going to the door several times
and finding no one there, tho bell was
allowed to ring at will. But when
there was no end of the annoyance
the residents decided that the bell was
out of order.
Upon complaining to tho real estate
agent, an electrician was seat to the
house, but after an examination, he
declared that nothing was wrong with
the bell or wires. Then the occupants
decided to watch. Gathering in tho
doctors apartments, they began their
weary vigil. but without avail. Then
after many hours OF watching. the
bell was rung. The watchers imme-
diately jumped to tho many points OF
vantage, but could see no one out
side.
There the occupants gave up their
watch In despair, and though the ring
Ing is still kept up, nothing has been
seen of the aisturber. Any one who
can satisfactorily explain the mystery
Will receive more than the thanks of
the occupants. but until that time
