HILL NOT 4 TRIMMER
Chairman Jones Denies That
the Gold Senator Has
Crawfshed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Z, 1S96.-f Chair

Committee received any assurances from
Senator Hill to the effect that that Sena

the Chairman is keeping it entirely to
himself. He was at headquarters this
morning, looking cool and comfortable,
despite the sweltering heat of the early
morning hours, <and was in the full en-
joyment of his usual good spirits. To all
callers who made inquiries concerning
his recent visit to New York the Chair
man denied that it had any political
significance. He only went over, he said,
for the purpose of seeing that the ar
rangements for the notification meeting
We're complete.
Really" said he, there is nothing to
be said about my visit to Mr.. Hill at Nor
mandie-by- -the-Sea. We have always been
friends, and when he found that we were
in New York, where the weather was
hot and disagreeable, he invited some of
us to go down to his seaside place, where
we might get breath of salt air and be
comfortable for few hours. Much that
is untrue and hore that is unimportant
has been said of this visit, which was one
of friendship and entirely without politi-
cal import
