Sermon-WnI Not Speak at Chautauqua'
To Lunch With Senator Hill.
Upper Rsd Hook, n. Y, August %
This was very quiet Gay with Mr..
Bryan, that is, day as quiet as can
uidate for the Presidency can expect.
There were many callers at the Perrine
Housa from the surrounding country
who asked TO see Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan,
and all of them were received.
a dreary rain bedragged the village
all day and kept most OF its inhabitants
indoors. In the morning Mr.. Bryan
dn5w an overcoat over his shoulders and
ploddeG through the mud with his host,
Mr.. Perrine, 10 one of Red Hooks TWO
churches, the worshipping place OF the
Dutch Reformed communicates. He
Eook an incOnSpicuous side pew, and
was one OF perhaps hundred people
who listened 10 the sermon OF Dr.. hobt.
II. Barr, of the Associated Reform
Church OF New5urgh.
There was nothing in the sermon OF
a political t.nge but the pastor, Rev. j.
d. Lydecker, who made the prayer, re
ferred TO the candidate He prayed:
we ask Thee 10 specially bless Thy
servant whom we have with Us, Thy
honored servant; fill him with wisdom
and power for the anXieties and fatigue
of the coming days, and fill him with
hope and confidence in all Thy purposes
concerning him and these people.
After the services, the ministers and
members Of the congregation pressed
about Mr.. Bryan to shake his hand.
A large party OF wheelmen rode seven
teen miles from Hudson in the after
neon TO see the candidate, and were IN
troduced by one of their members, Tor
mer District Attorney Mccormick, OF
Columbia county. Among the otner
callers were a. B. Reeder, Of Nsw YORK,
who had known the Bryans in the West,
and e. Moody Boynton, OF Boston.
Mr.. Bryan's attention was called to-
day to a statement by the president OF
the Chautauqua Assembly, CONTRADICT
ing the report that he would make d
speech there, and he said:
81 shall not speak there. Being IN
terested in Chautauqua work, my wife
and will avail ourselves of the oppor-
tunity TO see the parent organization
The work OF the association is non
partisan and the president is quite right
in saving that neither candidate should
speak there unless both are invited.
The fact that William J. Bryan, ID, m
ocratic candidate for the Presidency, Will
lunch with Senator Hill, the leader OF
the party organization in this State, be-
came known to-day TO little party OF
politicians inhabiting the Red Hook Ho-
TEL and inspired NOR eant.cipatory dis
cuss.on among them than any other IN
cident of the candidates Eastern trip.
Every man assumes that Senator Hill
has resolved TO support the nominee OF
the party, els. they argue, ne would
hardly invite him 10 sit at his table.
And the lunch is taken as practical
announcement OF Hin's determination,
which is expected TO be followed by a
more formal declaration Of the Senator
attitude.
Mr.. Bryan will arrive in Albany Tues
dav afternoon. and will have TWO hours
for refreshment before the speech which
he is billed TO make. He viii spend two
hours. according to the programme
which has been arranged for him, at
Wolfert's Roost, the handsome resi-
dence which Senator Hill bought OF
Fritz Emmett, the ACTOR
This visit having been arranged that
The Democratic candidate and the Sen
ator may come TO an understanding II
they have not already done so, VIII mark
a distinct epoch in the campaign.
The fact of the invitation from Sena-
tor Hill, which message comes, it Is un-
derstocd. through Chairman Hinkley, OF
the State Committee, is taken by the
noliriclaRs here as answer TO the ques-
tion which has stirred the State ONCE
the dav - the Chicago convention,
whether Senator Hill VII support the
ticket.
Tomorrow Mr. Bryan will go to Win
nisock Lodge. in the Catskills, 10 pass
the night with State Chairman Hinkley
and othsr party managers Of the state
organization and discuss with them the
p,ans for the campaign. He will meet
other prominent Democrats in the cit
les up the State which he is to visit, and
before he leaves New York will know
what measure of support he IS 10 receive
from the leaders of this State.
The representative of the Associated
PISS to-day asked Mr.. Bryan whether
he was to lunch with Senator Hill, and
he replied automatically: Il have not
been fully advised concerning the ar
rangements which are made for my en-
tertainment in Albany
