SHIVELY REFUSES

To Become Excited Over Report That Taggart May Seek His Toga. Washington, January 25.—Senator Benjamin F. Shively manifested no agitation at the report from Indianapolis today that Tom Taggart contemplated entering the race for the democratic senatorial nomination against him at tihe state convention in March. The senator was disposed to discredit the report, and, while de did not care to discuss—it—for publication, it is known that he does hot .expect Taggart to be a candidate. This, moreover, is the opinion of most of the Hoosier democrats in Washington, who say, however, that inasmuch as this is the last state convention to nominate a United States senator in Indiana, Taggart might conclude to avail himself of the oportunity to get the nomination.
