NEW YORK, Aug 6.-The World
will say: Senator David b. Hill will
support the nominees of the Chicago
convention. A formal announcement
OF his position, 1t is said, will be made
public within a few days. The facts,
the World will says, were learned by
Senator James K. Jones, chairman of
the Democratic national committee, on
visit to Senator Hill at Normandie-
by-the-Sea, Wednesday night. Senator
Jones returned to the city this morn
ing, accompanied by Lawrence Gardi-
ner, secretary of the Democratic con-
gressional campaign committee, who
went down to NormandIe, Wednesday
night. Senator Jones left this morning
for Washington and will return to this
city next Monday night. His meeting
with Senator Hill is said to have been
cordial one. To a personal friend
Senator Jones remarked significantly
'TIill is all right
The chairman, according to the
World, had became somewhat anxious
over the continued silence of the SEN
ator from New York. He desired 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
Normandie, and met State Chairman
Hinkley and John B. Stanchfeld
From mutual friends it was learned
that their talk was extremely frank.
The Worlds article continued:
"Mr 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 Democrat al
this time. Before they were through,
it Is said, he told Senator Jones the
New York state convention would, in
all probability, indorse the ticket nom
mated at Chicago and reaffirm its
own platform adopted at the last state
convention. Mr.. Hill. it Is said. told
Senator Jones that he would stand by
the action Of his own state conven-
ton and work loyalty for it's nom
inee. That, he said, was all that could
be asked of him."
The Worlds article then continues
to say that Senator Jones received the
information that Senator Murphy was
thoroughly in favor Of indorsing the
ticket. Commenting upon the pres
ence Of John B. Stanchfield at Nor
mandie, the World will say that II
was nearly as much Of an event poll
tically as was the visit Of National
Chairman Jones, and says: ''Mr
Stanchf1eld has been an avowed can
didate for governor since January
Since the adjournment of the legisla-
ture he has made a pretty thorough
canvass Of the state. Mr. Hill ap-
peared to oppose his candidacy al
the time, and has been credited with
favoring the nomination of Perry Bel
mont. Mr.. Belmont has bolted the
Chicago ticket. and is no longer con-
sidered a gubernatorial possibility. Fol
a time it looked as if the political re-
lations between Mr.. Hill and his old
law partner, Mr.. Stanchfield, were de-
cidedly strained. When Senator Hill
returned from Chicago, remaining 81
lent, Mr.. Stanchfield at once came out
for the ticket and platform. Just now
the fact Of, Mr.. Stanchf1eld being Mr.
Hills guest and that State Chairman
Hinkley was called to see them. has
caused an impression among Demo
Gratis that Mr. Hill Is willing to accept
Mr.. Stanchfields candidacy"
