WILL ENDORSE.

York Longer.
State Democratic Convention to
Endorse Him.
MEETING DEMOCRATS
Of Influence Every Day and
Comforting With Them.
Goes to Cleveland, Ohio, on Au-
gust 81.

Upper Red Hook, N. Y, Aug. 20.-It
is pretty apparent here today that Can
didate Bryan's plan to spend some time
in New York state campaigning is not
Objectionable to the leaders in Demo-
cratic. state politics, but that on the
contrary he has their cooperation in
the movement. 1t is not hard to an
ticipate that the state Democratic con-
vention in Buffalo will indorse his can
didacy from several events of the past
two days, and Mr.. Bryan himself smiled
this morning and said: I am not
bothering about New York Democrats.
Everything will be all right"
Among the facts of significance are the
visit late last night Of Mr.. Elliott Dan
forth Of the New York organ
ization, the proposed visit OF
Mr.. Bryan to Albany and the invit-
ing of Mr.. Bryan to meet a number of
Democrats at WinesOOk Lodge in the
Catskills, presided over by Chairman
Hinckley of the Democratic state COM
mittee- With these significant facts
is coupled the arrangement this morn
ing of a new eastern itinerary that in
cludes several points in New York
state. This new itinerary includes,
after the Erie speech on the 26th, these
points: Speak in Buffalo the evening
of the 9th; in Ledin, N. Y, the after
noon of the 28th, spending the evening
by way of Buffalo on the 18th, Satur-
day, and speak in Hornellsville in the
afternoon. Then go to jamestown in
the evening, and direct to Chautauqua,
where Sunday will be spent. On Mon
day. Aug. 81 Mr.. Bryan will go direct
to Cleveland, where he will speak in
the evening. Tuesday he will go to
Columbus, O., speaking the evening
of the 1st of September and at Toledo
on the End.
The evening of the 3rd he will speak
in South Bend, Ind, and September
will be spent in Chicago at national
headquarters.
Mr.. Bryan does not expect to speak in
Chicago. The morning of the 5th Mr.
Bryan will leave for Nebraska over the
Burlington road, making no stops. He
says his speeches in all the places
named will be very brief
1t was late last night when Elliott
Danforth of New York called to see Mr..
Bryan and waited some two hours for
him to return from a days outing. He
said it was a friendly call and Mr..
Bryan reiterated it, but as Upper Red
Hook is a small station, where there are
few trains, and as Mr.. DanfOrth saw
Mr.. Bryan in New York six days ago,
conclusions are rather inevitable that
canoe.
Mr.. Danforth, when asked as to the
question of state support of Mr. Bryan
by the Democratic party, said terSely;
1.-THE Democrats of New York Will sup
port him, doubt, but the active work
will not begin until our convention
meets at Buffalo"
The second surprise came this morn
ing when a son of Chairman Hinckley
came here with an urgent personal let
ter from his father inviting Mr.. Bryan
to visit the camp in the Catskills,
where are gathered a number of prom
inent Democrats. When the messen-
ger had gone Mr.. Bryan said that he
had practically decided to accept the
invitation and would spend night
over there before leaving for the west.
