Leaders from many counties ceme te the capital, talk ever the illness of Senater Penrose and the prospects of Knox's physical condition ; the activity of Jeseph 11. Qrundy, and promptly net about figuring out what will happen. And they all expect Bemcthlng te hap pen, mere probably sooner than later. All this was accentuated today by the presence of Mayer Moere, who came here te speak en waterways nnd talk things ever with the Governer. Harrisburg was described by one of the leaders as the "weirdest maze of hypo thetical politics In the country." Starts With Pcnrose Te be frank, much of the talk is based en the reports that Senater Penrose will net be able te go te Washington next month te attend the opening of Congress. "With that as a' starting point, the gossips at once talk about his successor. I.clghten C. Tayler, Senater Pen rose's secretary, en the ether hand, said en Tuesday the senator was in better shape than when he was at the shore. Friends of the Governer de net take seriously the reports that Senater Knox will go into the cabinet. It is said the senator is mers desirous of finishing his term than anything else. The talk revolves abdut the selection of a can didate te succeed Senater Knox in 1022. Senater Crew's friends arc urging him te get something definite settled en the senatershlp as seen as possible. Hut all the conferences in the world, it is conceded, can't change the fact that no vacancy new exists. If Senater Crew waits until Senater Knox's term Where you nnd one name .

And it Is plain Governer Sprout IsWdy "te go te the mat" with Grundy ever that very issue, if the occasion demands. Fer Grundy's friend nlse nre talking, though their conversation is net ns nudlblc here ns It Is in Philadelphia and Its vicinity. Faced by a jijinplex political problem, In Which -Oiey knew the factors Only In n hazy sort of , way, Governer Sproul and Senater Crew and their friends arc having "their own time" trying te work out n solution. Here is where the Majer of Philadelphia steps Inte the stnte limelight. There is tajk that he may be put up for Governer. It is said en .behalf of the Mayer that his Independence qualifies him ns n candidate, lie could net be charged with being n ,"gang mayor," n de scription which would work havoc lu the up-state counties. The only thing that stands In the way, nnd the thing that Senater Crew's ft lends fear, Is the Mayer's friendship wltli Mr. Grundy , And jet it is said that the Mnjer and Mr. Grumfy arc net as close ns they have been, and the frequent conferences between the Mayer and the Governer cannot be said te be without significance. Sec Stepping Stones The next Governer is te be elected in iu', ami no win tniic.eiuce one jenr before Mayer Moere's term expires. The leaders believe tlieie is a series of step plug stones running through the posi tions new held by Govcrner.Sproul and Mayer Moere, which will lead into con trol of the state organization. Seiin Seiin ter Crew, however, does net want te be,cnught in a "jam" bemcuherc along th line, ' ' It is possible, of course, that Mayer Moere may be able te keen harmony in nil directions by holding Mr. Grundy In line. Governer Sproul is a co-epern-tor in politics irrespective of pcreiial feelings. $20,000 Gift for Visiting Nurses Willies -Harre. Nev. 18.
