Monroe 353.

Why did Joseph Medill McCormick, reputed owner of a big ohunk of stock in the Chicago Daily Tribune, son-in-law of the late Mark Hanna, Western manager of the Bull Moose party, and Progressive member of the legislature of Illinois, climb off a New York Central train, bound for Boston, at Syracuse, N. Y., at the startling hour of 3:55 o'clock yesterday morning, and clad only in embarrassment and a suit of pajamas? This question is greatly agitating the friends of Mr. McCormick in Chicago today. It is agitating the enemies of Mr. McCormick in Chicago not very much less thag.ty Is his friends. Curiously, it is agitating both friends and enemies in a somewhat similar fashion. Both are rushing to the front with explanations. But the explanations put forward by Mr. McCormick's friends are quite different,from the explanations put forward by Mr. McCormick's enemies. So far the information from Syracuse Is not entirely satisfactory. It leaves so much to the imagination. Following is the full dispatch received from Syracuse: Syracuse, . N. Y., Aug. 7. Joseph Medill McCormick, son-in-law of the late Mark Hanna, dropped off a New York Central train bound -for Boston here at 3:55 o'clock yesterday morning. McCormick was clad only in najamas.
