lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE


Esopus. n. T.. July 23.-Chief Judge Parker
to-day announced that he had sent dispatch
20 Champ Clark, chairman Of the Democratic
notification committee, informing him that ne
would receive the delegation appointed TO m
form him of his nomination here on August III
The question of the chief judges resignation
from the Court Of Appeals is still pending much
to The disgust of several Democrats, who are
earnestly working for the nomination. There is
stu possibility that he may not resign at ALL
ard his associates have strongly urged him to
take this step. Unless he changes his mind
radically, however he is hardly likely to follow
this course He wrote to several of his assoc
ciates in the Court of Appeals. seeking their
advice on this question to-day.
A delegation of Chicago Democrats represent
ing Mayor Carter H. Harrison will visit Rose
mount tomorrow; their coming was heraided
by a dispatch from Mayor Harrison TINS AFTER
noon. They will endeavor TO convince the can
didate that it would be wise step to open
the campaign in Chicago August 20, pos
sbly on the same platform with Bryan. 1t is
prophesied here that the judge will tell them
that he will give the subject respectful attention
As was said In these dispatches yesterday. the
elimination of all other candidates here made
Thomas Taggart the sole available man for ma
tionaI chairman. This is not wholly pleasing
they are trying to make the best of it. and
hasten TO indicate that since he failed to get the
men he wanted, German and Sheehan. Chief
Judge Parker will tell the national COM
mittee that he has desire to interfere. and
WIFI ask them to make the choice known. They
will name Taggart
AFRAID NOT TO NAME TAGGART.
AS a matter of fact, the Rosemoiunt politicians
have all along been afraid not TO name Tag
CART, realizing that. however light their chance
of carrying Indiana was II would vanish if Tag
CART turned down. On the other hand
Taggart is bitterly opposed by the Hearst FAC
tion. which declares that he stole the Indiana
convention from the Congressman and pledged
1t to Parker, and IL is believed that the Hearst
men will make trouble for the ticket If he Is
named as chairman by the national committee
next Tuesday
The repetition of the statement printed this
morning that Charles F. Murphy had purchased
a ticket for E-sopus is based on no facts discern
ible here. He may be his way but as yet he
has not even announced his coming by telephone,
as other distinguished visitors have done. Nor is
there any deep seated conviction here that he
is coming that is. Immediately. Harmony Is
still more of a dream than recognized posi-
bility at Rosemount, and the sneers of Frank
Campbell at the McCarren plans for strengthen
ing the upstate organization were not reassur-
ing.
The judge has been making a long and ex-
haustive study of notification ceremonies In
past years, and il is understood that he purposes
to revive features dating back TO the age when
Democratic nominees were taken more seriously
than in the last two campaigns. What these
ancient rites no knows. but il Is expect
ed that this ceremony will be OF unusual his
toric we'll contemporary interest. A letter
which amused the Judge to-day from
Faxon. Tenn. from proud father whose wife
had just given birth to twins. This letter read
follows:
Ny Very Dear Sir: Myself ami wife have twins
born to on the 18th, boy and girl The boys
name is Alton g. Parker. Please give the name
Of your wife or daughter, want christCn
the girl the same. Thanking you in advance, l re-
main. respectfully and probably distant relation
HOMER PARKER.

Chief Judge Parker plans to have a strictly nom
partisan Sunday tomorrow. He will go 10
church in Kingston, usual. and spend the rest
of the day at Posemount
