You could repair a crack also with use of a wet rawhide wrap dipped in hide glue, sewed up on the opposite side of the crack ... It reïnforces the horn, and follows the contours of the horn nicely... Gives a real rustic look too, and makes the crack watertight...

To stop further spread of the crack, consider drilling out a small hole at the end of the crack to provide stress relief.
If you're able to conveniently remove the end plug, re-enforcing repair from the inside would be the best. Consider re-installing the wires afterward.

That horn looks well used and well loved. The repair is part of it's story. If it were not loved it would have been discarded and replaced.
