UPPER RED HOOK, n. Y, Aug. 2-
Every indication here to-day has been
towards what is a settled fact-that VIM
j. Bryan expects and has been assured of
Eastern support. Letters continued 10 pour
in asking him to speak at Eastern points
and if the requests were needed he could
spend the entire time from now until cleo
ton day in New York State. Nearly every
city of any size between New York and
Chicago has asked him TO make stop, and
without exception, the invitations have
come from leaders of Democratic organiza-
tions Mr. Bryan showed no surprise this
morning at the newspaper stories that the
New York Democratic State organization
had decided to support him. He did reflect
a little bit upon the statement that Sem
ator Hill had told Mr.. Danforth that he
would support ard work for him (Mr.
Bryan.) He said in relation 10 that ques-
ton: 1T is not Senator Hills custom to
speak through others, and / doubt If Mr..
Danforth gave out statement purportIng
to be made by Senator HILL The Senator
will probably make his own announce
ment" 1t was said here to-day on very
good authority that Senator Hill will take
part in the demonstration in honor of Mr..
Bryan at Albany on Tuesday night. The
statement needs Authorization. however.
The receipt of a letter from leader Shee-
han. of Tammany. asking Mr.. Bryan to
speak in New York added another chain
to the circumstances leading up TO proof
of a thorough understanding between Mr..
Bryan and the New York Democracy. The
published statement that Richard Croker
had approved MIR. Sheehan's and Tam
many's course in indorsing Bryan caused
the candidate a great deal of satisfaction.
and he said that he had always believed
that all the great leaders would fall into
line, except perhaps, those who had finan-
cial interests with the gold side of the
issue. intimating that the leaders in the
gold Democratic movement had mercenary
interests
Congressman Sulzer arrived here tonight
and was closeted with Mr.. Bryan. He
brought with him Prof. Van Buren, Densloe,
formerly professor in Chicago University.
and now a writer of silver literature. When
the conference was over Mr.. Suzer said
that ne coulos not divulge the reason for
his visit. except that Professor Densloc de-
sired to visit Mr.. Bryan. Despite all
pressure tonight Mr.. Sulzer insisted that
ne had nothing TO communicate.
Mr. Bryan's speech at Tivoi tomorrow
is expected to be deiiyered TO ilve or SIX
tions to-day would seem TO indicate that IL
will be the greatest effort made since the
Madison-square Garden speech. Ii will be
political in its tone and will, perhaps, at
| tempt TO answer in part the speech of Mr.
| Cochran.
This afternoon Mr. and Mrs Bryan Mr.
and Mrs r.. G.. Perrine, the Misses Perrine
