PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- Health officials are investigating an outbreak of illnesses at a Philadelphia hotel that recently played host to about 200 Republican leaders, including President Bush.

At least 69 guests at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel -- all attending a business conference -- went to the hospital last week when a mystery bug caused dizziness and vomiting. More fell ill, but did not seek medical attention.

In addition, two people at a GOP retreat to discuss party policy January 29-31 -- a member of House Speaker Dennis Hastert's staff and a second staff member's spouse -- became ill the day after checking out, an aide to the Illinois Republican said Tuesday. Neither was hospitalized.
