HILL GIVES NO HINT OF CHOICE
COLER, GROUT AND CANTOR WILLING TO RUN FOR
OR-PARKER OFFERS SUPPORT TO CONTROLLER
HUNT FOR THE CANDIDATE.
MANY DEMOCRATS CONSULT THE ORA
Gle AT THE HOFFMAN HOUSE.

With wheels we'll creased, and noiseless. the
Hill machine began its work at the Hoffman
House yesterday. All the prominent leaders
who were seen took great care in explaining that
there was to be no programme: that the op
portunfty for pure Democracy to decide for it
self would be afforded at the convention In the
mean time Pat" McCarren. Gene Wood,
Sport Murphy. and a dozen other statesmen
of the inner circle of Hills cabinet. came and
went, conversing in whispers and waiting for
a word from the ex-senator
The question of Judge Alton B Parker's can
didacy was finally settled last night by letter
received by Bird S. CoIer- In this letter Judge
Parker distinctly announced that under no cir
cumstances would he permit his name to be used
in the convention. He further declared that he
regretted the fact that ne had appeared as a
rival of Mr.. Coler and declared his intention to
support him. He also pledged to Mr. Coler the
support of his friends.
Never in the history of his political career
has the Wolfert's Roost leader so completely
DONNA ted the situation. Platform, candidates,
every detail of the Democratic campaign, will
be dictated by him. The gathering of the poll
ticians at the Hoffman House yesterday re-
sembled a personally conducted tour with Mr.
Hill In the role of the courier. One by one the
vote controlling magnates of the city sought the
inner sanctuary where in mysterious fashion
they listened to the words of the leader Then
they came back to the lobby, silent and thought
full.
The event of the day the visit of Sport
Murphy, new boss of Taynnany. ALI day Thurs
day Mr.. Murphy waited in Tamnany Hall for
Hill Yesterday he decided that it was a case
of Mahomet going to the mountain. and in
company with George B. Mcclellan and ex-
Senator Frank ODonnell, he went over to the
Hoffman House After a considerable wait he
secured admittance and enjoyed a very brief
chat with Hill When he came out he was asked
If he had pledged the support of Tammany
TO Hill without any condition
Never said anything about it," he answered
tersely. This was all that Silent Charlie would
say
Later in the afternoon Mr.. Hill number
OF newspaper men for brief moment. To
them he declared he had nothing to say about
the situation. He consented to confess that he
thought he should have spend the night in
the city. When asked if he had been to Brook
lyn. he said reproachfully:
Why 1 just answered question for you"
The second query too hard. and he asked
to be excused.

cohorts Of attendants Vas ex-COntroler Bird S

noon and stayed around during the rest Of the
night He dined with Hill and had talk with
him about the situation. To the reporters who
asked him if he would take second place on the
ticket if il were offered he said with deep feel
ing:

already supplied the Young Democracy with
Coler buttons. and several delegations OF ad-
rotrers visited the ex-Controller during the day
The talk In the corridors was all for Coler
On the other hand, there was a distinct feellns
that his chances are not improving and that at
the last moment his name will not appear on the
slate which the boss will present 10 the conVen-
tion The yane of the Coler boom is attended
with the rise in favor of Controller Grout' 1t

The candidates for United
States Senate spoke here yestcr-
day. The first speaker was Hon
DIS. Henderson who made a good
impression. The next was Hon.
Jno. J. Hemphill of Chester who
spoke in his usually felicitous
style and held the crowd. The
third speaker was Col. William
Elliott who made a good speech
and impressed all that he was a
good man. Next came Hon.A.C.
Latimer Of Anderson who made
a fairly good impression. EX.
Governor Evans came next.
He is a good speaker and car
ries the crowd while he is speak
ing, but whether he will carry
many of them next Tuesday
only time can tell. The last
and to our notion the strongest
speech Of the day was made by
Col. George Johnstone Of New
berry. 1t is the general opinion
that he made the best speech Of
the day and he probably won
more votes by his speech than
any other man who spoke. After
dinner, the congressman of the
Fifth District spoke. The crowd
was not large, but it was unus-
ually quiet and attentive to
both Senatorial and the Con-
gressional candidates. The dis
pensary was closed and there
was no drinking or drunkenness
