UPPER Ieu HOOK, new OIh, AuS' ~
The fact that w. j. Bryan, demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency, will
lunch with Senator Hill, the leader of the
party organization in this state, became
known today to the little party of politi-
clans inhabiting the Red Hook hotel, and
inspiring more discussion among them
than any other incident of the candi-
dates eastern trip.
Everyone assumes that Senator Hill
has resolved to support the nominee of
the party, else, they argue, he would
hardly invite him to sit at his table, and
the lunch is taken as Il practical an
nOuncement of Hills determination,
which is expected to be followed by a
more formal declaration OF the senator's
attitude. Mr.. Bryan will arrive in Al
bany Tuesday afternoon and will have
two hours for refreshments before the
speech which he is billed to make.
lie is to speak two hours, according to
the program which has been arranged.
The fact of the invitation from Senator
ILL., which message comes through
Chairman Ilinkley of the state commit
tee, Is taken by the politicians as an an
sWer to the question which has stirred
the state since the day of the Chicago
convention, as to whether Senator Hill
VIII support the ticket. Tomorrow Mr.,
Bryan will go to Winosock lodge in thc
Catskills to pass the night with State
Chairman Hinkley and other party
managers of the state organization and
TO discuss with them the plans for the
campaign. He will meet other nromin-
eht democrats in the state before he
reaches New York, and he will know
what measure of support he is to receive
