Hanna, of Ohio, Is a candidate for President of the United States to suc ceed President Roosevelt. Falling in that, he will exert even' effort to nomi nate Governor-elect Myron T. Herrick. of Ohio. Furthermore, Senator Thomas a Piatt, of New York, has been, or -will he. asked to help nominate the former or the latter as conditions may dictate. Further, the Ohio Senator vrill fight the confirmation of General Leonard Wood, nominated by the President to be Major-General. unless General Wood dis avows his acts with relation to the prosecution and conviction of Estes G. Rathbone. ex-Director-General of Posts In Cuba. Until tho Wood controversy shall be settled, with respoct to the de mands of Rathbone and his friends, President Roosevelt will not receive an answer from Senator Hanna as to wheth er he will continue as chairman of the National committee: and if the claims of Rathbone and his friends are not met with proper consideration, In the opinion of Senator Hanna, then he will not act as chairman of the National committee. Senator Hanna Is at the "Waldorf, where his friend. Governor-elect Herrick, has been for a wcok. The latter came to New Tork as the advance agent of the managor of the McKlnley compalgn. The Cleveland man met Governor Odell Tuesday night late at the Republican Club, and until early Into the morning the Govornors of the Empire and Buck eye states conferred with others. It Is said now that the Ohio leaders as repre sented by Senator Hanna and Governor elect Herrick, are satisfied they cannot trust Governor Odell, to say nothing of the doubts they entertain of his ability to bring a New York delegation t6 the National Republican Convention which he can control: therefore, they believe it the bottor course to seek the alliance with Senator Piatt Such a condition of affairs, in the event that the sonlor New York Senator shall consent to ally himself and his follow ers with Senator Hanna and his organ ization, may result In a compact between Governor Odell and the President. The President would, In fact, be forced Into such an alliance to save himself. Thus a war to the knife would be pre cipitated between the President and the Govornor and their followers on one side, and Senator Piatt and his friends on the other. EVEKY COUOTEY AT FAIE.

Olds, Wortman & King, Portland Agents i Olds, Wortman & King, Portland Agents HE STANDS BY WOOD Root Sends Good Report to Senate Committee. ARMY OFFICERS ARE QUOTED Newspaper Man Who Was In Cuba at Time of the Revolution Tells What He Knows of Alleged Bribes by Gamblers. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2L Secretary Root, in response to a request from the military committee, today presented a re port upon the military record of General Wood. It Is a strong confirmation of that officer. The Secretary reviews his career, pointing out that he was first a line officer and then became a surgeon. When a surgeon he asked for and ob tained command of troops in the Geronl mo campaign and in this capacity Mr. Root appends letters of commendation by General Miles and the late General Lawton. Secretary Root, In his letter, does not make any reference or reply to tho charges that have been made against General Wood as Military Gov ernor of Cuba. Herbert J. Brown, a newspaper man, who was In Cuba during the American occupation was the first witness today. Mr. Brown told the committee he had ob tained the affidavits made by sharehold ers of the Jal Alal Company, which had been filed by Major Rathbone. In the affidavits, the shareholders declared their stock had been assessed for the purpose of purchasing presents which were given by the gambling establishment to General and Mrs. Wood. Members of the committee took great Interest in these charges, and questioned the witness concerning the affidavits. Mr. Brown was questioned also In re gard to them charges that General Wood knew the character of the Jal Alal Com pany when he argued in favor of granting a concession to operate. When reference to this charge was made by Mr. Brown, he was asked by Senator Cockerlll to substantiate his as sertion. ' He did so by directing atten tion to official publications in Havana newspapers showing the nature of the Jal Alai establishment. The statement in cluded a copy of the compan's bjlaws and It was declared these had been sup pressed by General Wood In his state ment to the War Department concerning the establishment. The ground gone over by Mr. Brown Is covered in the gen eral statement of charges filed with the committee by Major Rathbone. It Is ex pected Brown will again be called before the Investigation is concluded. After Mr. Brown left the committee room Major Rathbone resumed his state ment where he left off yesterday. He was examined closely In regard to his charges that General Wood used coercion and undue Influence with the courts In getting Instructions which were unfavor able to Major Rathbone on his trial in connection with the postal-fraud cases. One member of the committee stated today he believed nearly a month will bo consumed In the Inquiry Into the charges filed against General Wood. In the three hearings given Major Rath bone the committee has reached only the first specification of his charges. "If GAieral Leonard Wood "were on trial for his life, he would not receive Instruc tions from the court more favorable than the rulings which have been made by tho Senate military committee In the conduct of the present Investigation." said a mem ber of the committee tonight, when asked concerning the methods used in details which the various witnesses examined. It is believed that this evidence will go before the Senate in extra session, and in the event of a decision by the committee favorable to General Wood, the fight will be transferred to the floor of the Senate. A request has been made that the com mittee subpena a number of Army of ficers who served in Cuba with General Wood, but thus far no action has been taken bjr tho committee In that direction.
