fact that William j. Bryan. Democratic
candidate for the presidency, will lunch
with Senator Hill, the leader of the party
organization in this state, became known
to-day to the little party of politicians in
habiting the Red Hook hotel and inspired
more anticlpatory discussion among them

hardly invite him to sit at his table. And
the lunch is taken as a practical announce
ment of Hills determination, which is ex-
pected to be followed by more formal
declaration of the senator's attitude.
Mr.. Bryan will arrive in Albany Tuesday
afternoon, and will have two hours for
refreshment before the speech which he is
billed to make. He will spend two hours

vitaton from Senator Hill. which message

night with State Chairman Hinkley and
