' Question of Next Chairman of Na tionai Republican Committee la j Causing Much SpaculatlonwHays to Step Down in Near Future. By EDWARtf B. CLARK. Washington.?Old politicians say that never before in the history of,the, party has Republicanism been so numerously represented in the city of Washington as is the case in this month of March wtiather In the year of grace 1821.. The Republican party holds possession today of the White House and the Capitol, end to a great extent of all the hotels in this town. ' SUjon, the promise of the poiitldana is, that It will have' possession of every strategic place in ail -the de partments of government. This Uttfe description of the sadden , transfer of this town Into the condi tion of a Republican stronghold could have been' written eight years; J ago of Its transformation into a Dem ocratic stronghold. The whirligig of politics brings Its changes like the , whirligig of time. The Republican national committee has ibeep here in tbp full force of , its membership. Will H. Hays, the chairman, presided at its meetings, and If other meetings are held within the next three or four nJonths it la likely tbat .he will continue to pre side, unless, being postmaster general, be shall feel that the proprieties of office demand that be shall give oyer the. chair of the chairmanship to the committee's vice chairman. , It is pretty well understood here In Washington thaf Will . H.v Hays some where about June 1, and possibly earlier, will resign from the office of chieftain of the national committee. ana. win ass uie uieuiutjrij km uiww some one In bis platje, "the some tme the qame of the new ^halrman pt the committee in case a change is made daring his presidential term, fy. The Next Chairman. There is a good deal of gossip in Washington concerning the new Be- > publican chairmanship. Three or four names are mentioned is possibilities. Jqhn T. Adams of Iowk is the pres ent vice, chairman of the committee and so far as position is concerned stands in line of promotion, but it is known that there is opposition in the committee i to the selection of Mr. Adams. United Stages Senator Harry S. New of Indiana has been suggested and it has been said that lie 5* Pres ident Harding's choice for the place, but it fa understood that Mr. "New does not wish to take the place be cause In two years he wili be a earn II date for re-election to the senate. Ahrin T. Heft, Republican national committeeman from Kentucky, also is mentioned as a more than possible. selection for' chairmanship. It was Mr. Hert who managed the Hughes campaign in the West with headquarters" in Chicago in 1916. There always has been a feeling, ex pressed freely, that Mr. Hert was, handicapped in his Western endeavors Ip 1916 by interference frcm the Bast, and there are scores of Bepublipans , today who say that if he had been given a ftee hapd . tt# rtaoit.in the , West probably would have been dif ferent in that year of Republican de feat. Mr. Hert is not anxious for the chairmanship. ? He has so told his fellows. Another noaalbllitv for the chair manshlp !?Jflmer Dover, an old-time ! newspaper raani" ?
