support the nominees Of the Chicago con-
vention. A formal announcement Of his
poation, Il is said, will DO made public

The facts, The World says, were learned
by Senator James x. Jones, chairman of
the Democratic national committee, on
visit TO Senator Hill at 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
cordial one To a personal friend, The
World says, Senator Jones remarked sig
nifcantly, ''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-
Ered 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 night $ 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 Normandie and met
State Chairman Hlnkley and John B.
etanchneld.
The Worlds article continues: "Mr.
Hill expressed his feelings freely about
tho Chicago convention and its 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
II Is said, he told Senator Jones the New
York state convention would in all prob
ability indorse the ticket named at Chi
cago and reafflrm Its own platform
adopted at the last state convention. Mr..
Hill, 1t is reported, told Senator Jones that
he would stand by the action Of his own
state convention and work loyalty for its
nominee. That, he thought is all that
ppuld 10 asked of him."
..The Worlds article then continues to
my that Senator Jones received the in
formation that Senator Murphy was thor
onghly In favor of indorsing the ticket.
Commenting upon the presence of John
D. Stanchheld at Normandie, The World
says that 1t was nearly as much Of an
agent politically as was tho visit of Ma
tional Chairman Jones, and says: "Mr.
6tanchfeld, who was Mir. Hills old law
partner, has been an avowed candidate for
governor since January. Mr.. Hill ap-
psared to oppose his candidacy all the
time, and has been credited with favoring
the nomination Of Perry Belmont Mr.
Belmont has bolted the Chicago ticket,
and is no longer considered guberna-
torial possibility.
"When Senator Hill returned from Chi
eago remaining silent, MI Stanchfleld ut
once came out for the ticket and platform.
just now tho fact Of Mr.. Stanchtleld being
Mr.. Hills guest, and that State Chairman
Hinkley was called to see them, has caused
m impression among Democrats that Mr..
Hill is willing to accept Mr. Stanchf1elds
