The New-York delegation to St. Louis will not
be instructed. This point practically was set
tied Yesterday at the Manhattan Club by Judge
Parker himself. The judge was in conference
with his friends at the club for an hour, ana
told them that It was a matter or indlnerehce
to him whether the delegation was or was not
instructed Murphy thus wins the second round
in his bout with Hill.
The hostility Of Tamr any Hall to ex-senator
Hills plan OF tying everything up in advance
has convinced the Parker men Of the futiiity
OF creating q breach in the State delegation
Instead OF Instructions the Hill men will IN
woke the unit rule. and with this time honored
democratic instrument they will poll the fuu
dnlaqation for Parker long as he is canol-
date before the convention. Judge Parker TOOK

I'VE are arranging the annual political cluo
dinner. and Judge Parker Will be invited He
is a member of the club. L do not understand
that he is to be especially honored.
r,es,;ta the cautious disclaimer of Justice
1rruax II is the understanding at the Manhat-
20, C1ub that the dinner will witness the formal
Launching of the Parker boom. II also Is under
stood that the list of speakers and the proposed
toasts we're discussed yesterday py Justice
r,,,ax and Judge T rker. 1t would not surprise
IocaI Damocrats IL ex-President Cleveland, eX-
Senator HILL Charles F. Murphy. William Il.
Hearst and several other well known Democrats
ara invited William J. Bryan Will not be asked
HIS recent interview. in which he declared
against Judge Parkers candidacy, makes MIN
inpossible as an invited guest IL is under-
stnod +bat Mr. Hearst will be guest because
of its modifying effect on the radicals in case
Parker ia nominated at Chicago. II is doubtful
about Mr.. Hearst accepting. with Farker,
CIeweIand and Hill as the principal speakers at
the launching OF the Parker boom. the dinner is
eYnected to be a memorable one.
