NEW YORK, Sept 23.--Judge Par.
ker's second visit to New York to con
fer with Democratic campaign man
ayers was made yesterday. AS on the
first occasion, his time was so fully
occupied that he was compelled to
take his luncheon in his apartments
He was joined at dinner last night by
William +. Sheehan, Thomas Taggart
and W. s. Rode. Judge Parker has
followed the programme adopted on
the first trip OF keeping his own COun-
sci concerning the business he has
with his callers His hours were long
From the time he arrived at the Hoif-
man House at 9;4j a. m. until nearly
II y. m. the stream of visitors to his
rooms was continuous.
Less mystery attended the present
visit than that made by the judge last
week. The newspaper men attached
to Rosemount, Judge Parker's home at
Esopus, were fully advised that he
would come to New York and We're
given ample time to make arrange
ments to accompany him. Detailed
information relating to the trip was
suppressed in order to further the can
didate's desire to nil appointments
made previously and not subject him
at this time to a general reception
from political associates. To accom-
plish this Judge Parker left EsopuS
at 7O5 a. m, AMI upon arriving in New
York drove to tile Honm6n House in
stead Of the Hotel Aston, where he
stopped last week.
When the candidate arrived at the
hotel he managed to reach his apart
ments without being recognized. He
then had word sent to such persons
as he wished TO see.
1t cannot be said with certainty now
lust how long Judge Parker will re
main in the city. He told some of his
visitors he should stay two or three
DAYS and that he was not certain of his
plans. He may return home this eve
ming and he may not leave here until
tomorrow.
Senator German. who has taken up
the important role of counsel to the
national committee and Is giving the
benefit of his experience in the man
agement of presidential campaigns,
was one of the first visitors. He spent
nearly two hours with the judge, but
beyond remarling that he had pleas
ant chat would not comment on his
business with the candidate.
National Chairman Thomas Taggart
had a long audience with Judge Par
ker during the afternoon. He was in
Wisconsin and Indiana last week. and
he made his report on the work being
done in these states. He said the
chances of carrying Indiana for the
Democrats are excellent and that he
believed the party was strengthened
in every doubtful state by the ability
of New York Democrats to harmonic
their differences in naming state
ticket.
