The probability of you, in Chicago, ever receiving tropical storm strength winds caused by the circulation of a hurricane is about as probable as Ed McMahon knocking on my door right now with a $10,000,000 check.
Like others have said, it would be possible for the low pressure system and the moisture it carries to make it to Chicago, but by then, the impact to Chicago should not be any more than any other type of storm system that can come by normally.
I don't know the exact distances, but usually within 50-200 miles after making landfall, the storm is reduced to a tropical storm and then within the next 100-200 miles, the storm will be weakened to a tropical depression.
Statistically, some storms could still be a tropical depression past this point, but that would be fairly rare, and again, the probability to hit Chicago would be extremely small.
Well, better go, somebody is knocking at my door....

Well by the time it hit Chicago, the storm is really weak believe it or not even though u think the winds are strong, comparing to the eyewall makin landfall in a place like Florida, its light. You guys get the heavy rain more than anything

Hurricanes reach extends northward usually, so the answer is that several have reached all the way to Canada.
As for strong winds, one hurricane can spin off dozens or hundreds of tornadoes, so anything spinning from east to west--such as a nor'easter--would qualify as an ocean-based storm with implications going inland.
Hope this helps!

I lived in the upstate of South Carolina and a few years back we had some major wind damage and rain. I'm talking 20 " of rain .
