HAYS DISCUSSED FOR U. S. SENATE

Telegrams Sent Broadcast Over State Suggest That He May Go Before Convention. Will H. Hays, of Sullivan, who was urged by many admirers to enter the senatorial race, may sipee the death of Senator B. F. Shively, decide to" enter the convention as a candidate. Just what effect this will have on the senatorial situation is uncertain. While indications were strong that delegates to the convention would name Nqw since he had received more votes in the primary than Watson, the entrance of Mr. Hays into the race at that time will create a very queer situation. As soon as the death of Senator Shively became known it was generally decided that both New and Watson would be nominated. Both had made the race, spent money in doing so and there had been some bitterness engendered. If Mr. Hays, who has made so fine a record as state chairman and -who is in all respects qualified for the high office, does enter the race, there will be a lively convention. Telegrams were sent over the- statetoday, Wednesday, to the various county chairmen, seeking to ascertain what the effect would be of the entrance of Mr. Hays into the campaign. Chairman McLain, of Jasper county, has been discussing the matter with many republicans today.
