VISITED by CHAIRMAN JONES.

That His own state Convention VIII

NEW YORK, Aug. This mornings
World says: Senator David b. Hill will
support the nominees of the Chicago con
v%ention. A formal announcement Of his
position, it is said, will be made public
within a very few days.
The facts, The World says, were learned
by senator James X. Jones, chairman of
the Democratic national committee, on %
visit to Senator Hill Mt Normandie-by the
Sea last "Wednesday night. Senator Jones
returned to the city yesterday, accom-
panied by Lawrence Gardiner, secretary
Of the Democratic congressional campaign
committee, who went down to Normandie
Wednesday night. Senator Jones left yes
terday for Washington, and will return to
this city next Monday night. His meet
ing with Senator Hill is said to have been
q cordial one. To a personal friend, The
World says, Senator Jones remarked sig
%nificantly, "Hill is all right"
The chairman, according to The World,
had become somewhat anxious over the
continued silence of the senator from New
York upon the present question. He de.
sired to find out exactly where the senator
stood and how long he was going to stand
there. Mr.. Gardiner, it is said, made the
arrangements for Wednesday nights visit,
at the instance of Senator German. Neither
Of the principals cared to have the matter
reach the newspapers. Mr.. Jones dined
with Mr.. Hill at the Normundic and met
State Chairman Hinkley n John B..
Stunchfeld.
The Worlds article continues; MIR.
Hill expressed his feelings freely about
the Chicago convention and it's platform,
and Of the contest that had been going on
in his own mind as to his duty as a Demo
crat at this time. Before they were through,
it is said, he told Senator Jones the New
York state convention would in all prob
ability indorsc the ticket named at Chi
cago and reailtrm its own platform
adopted at the last state convention. Mr..
Hill. it is reported, told Senator Jones that
ne would stand by the action of his own
state convention and work Loyalty for its
nominee. That, he thought, is all that
could be asked Of him.
The Worlds article then continues to
say that Senator Jones received the in
formation that Senator Murphy was thor
oughly in favor of indorsing the ticket.
Commenting upon the presence of John
b. Stanchficld at Normandie, The World
says that 1t was nearly as much of an
event politically as was the visit Of Ma
tional Chairman Jones, and says; Mr..
Stanch1eld, who was Mr.. Hills Old law
partner, has been an avowed candidate for
governor since January. Mr.. Hill APP
peared to oppose his candidacy all the
time, and has been credited with favorine
the nomination of Perry Belmont. Mr..
Belmont has bolted the Chicago ticket,
and is no longer considered n guberna-
torlGl possibility.
"yVhen Senator Hill returned from Chi.
cago, remaining silent, Mr.. Stanchtield at
once came out for the ticket and platform.
just now the fact Of Mr.. Stanchiield being
Mr.. Hills guest, and that State Chairman
Huxley was called to see them, has caused
nm impression among Democrats that Mr..
Hill is willing to accept Mr.. Stanchtield's
