William J. Bryan this morning read the
published stories OF eastern Democratic
harmony with the Chicago convention

he had assurances from all parts Of the
State Of generous support.
Mr.. Bryan was shown a morning paper

fed TO find so many eastern Democrats
falling into lire, and added that before
the campaign closed he expected the
corporation OF all Democrats, except
those whose pecuniary interests may be
better advanced by the gold standard.
1t Is said that DR.. jenkins, Of New

Mr.. Bryan's visit to Major James w.
Hlukley, chairman Of the New YORK state
Democratic Committee VIII be maze on
Monday. AS TO the import Of the meeting
n nDIifIgIane nFwE-
ahouts are attaching much importance
TO H. There IS no doubt that NJ. Bryan
and Mr.. Hinkley will talk over the con-
dition Of affairs I'm the Empire state
Tbaf Mr.. Bryan Is confident he Will nave
the backing Of the Democratic leaders -
shown by his authorized statement thS
morning with reference 10 Crokers en-
dorsement Of his candidacy. In which he
said that he presumed nearly all the
leaders would fan into line before the
end OF the campaign.
IL is likely that Mr.. Bryan VIII spena
Monday night at Winnisook Lodge IN the
Catsklls where Major Hinkley Is sum
mering. and the two will have every op-
rortunitv TO discuss the situation in de-
tau. Major Hinkley, while one OF the
cold leaders at the Chicago convention
has been non-commital since Mr.. Bryan
nomination. and his invitation to the can.
didate is looked on as positive proof
that ne will support the ticket.
The significant part OF Mr. Bryan's visit
IN WinnisOck Lodge lies In the bellet
that Major Hinkley is acting for senator
Hill. and the claim IS made that II Iore-
shadows the Senator's action at the bul-
falo convention. A rumor was brought
hero to-day that Senator Hill would at
tend the Bryan meeting Tuesday night IN
candidate Will make
a speech. but it could not be confirmed
through Mr. Bryan or I'm any other way
FISHING FEVER.
fishing fever took possession Of Mr..
Rrvan again to-day; at least, Mrs. Bryan
said so. with Mr.. and Mrs. Perrine, their
daughter. and some friends. Mr.. and Mrs.
Brvan drove out to Spring Lake, couple
of miles from Upper Red Hook. to try
their luck with the rod Mr.. and Mrs.
Rryan rowed off 10 a secluded part or
the lake. and while Mrs. Bryan ished'
her husband produced paper and pencil,
and devoted himself to writing. Neither
ne nor Mrs. Bryan would say what ne
was composing, but everybody knew II
was his letter of acceptance.
Mrs. Bryan caught a good-siZed pickerel
and a two-pound bass. That was too
much for the candidate. He became so
interested that he took a rod himself ana
managed 10 get a pickerel. He did no
more writing. and. after going ashore,
made his first attempt to ride bike, with
disastrous results.
The party reached Upper Red Hook al
dark. tired and hungry. Mr. Bryan found
Congressman William Suizer. from New
York city, awaiting him. With Mr.. Sulzer
was Professor Van Buren, DenslOw. who
formerly occupied the Chair Of Political
Economy AT the Chicago University. and
Is now a writer on economic subjects.
Mr.. Sulzer and Professor Denslow spent
half an hour at Mr.. Perrine's house with
Mr.. Bryan. Rcticence was Mr. Suffers
most marked characteristic when he came
out. Il can't say a thing about IT," said
he. "I can't talk You know II | could
talk, | would talk"
