GORMAN CANNOT VISIT MR. PARKER Sends Word That He Win Cone
 Later On HOT DAY AT R0SEMOUNI Judge Parker Walks Out Into the Fields and Oversees the Load
 ing of Some Hay By
 His Men.

Esopus, N. T., July 1e-United States
 Senator Arthur Pue German of Maryland.
 who has been asked to become e-.airman
 of the democratic national committee. was
 invited by Judge Parker .o come to Rose
 mount tomorrow with former Senator Davis, the vice presidential candidate,
 and until late this evening it was taken for granted that he would come The 1 following telegram from him, dated New
 York, was given out here at o'clock:
 Regret that it will be impossible for me
 to accompany Senator Dav1s tomorrow
 Will afford me pleasure later on."
 The heat here was intense again to-
 day, and affected everypody and every
 thing. Judge Parker had his morning
 swim, but did not take n1s usual horse-
 back ride. His only absence from the
 house was during his walk Tn a field,
 where the hay-workers were forking up load behind their team.
 After o'clock the steam yacht Queen City brought up a party of the judges democratic friends from Poughkeepse. He showed them about the place. but the visit was entirely informal. The party included
 Former Mayor Ellsworth and Edward L.
 Perkins, chairman of the democratic county committee.
 MT. Shetland did not return home to-
 day, but is expected tomorrow, very like ly with MT. Davis
 The expected coming of the vice presi-
 dential nominee, brings up again the
 talk of a joint notification, but there is  | likely.
 Expresses Only Casual Interest Judge Parker has at no time expressed
 any but a casual interest in the proposi-
 incentive could properly come from him l in any case.
 It was reported that National Commit teeman Taggart was expected in New
 York today or tomorrow, but nothing definite could be learned here and appar- ently there is no present expectation of his coming to Rosemount.
 1 The following telegram was received to- day from the Iowa democratic state con- vention, dated Iowa City, and signed II. J. Stiger, as chairman:
  I Iowa democrats in state convention
 assembled congratulate you and the na-
 tion on your nomination and the prospects
 of your election. We wish you God
 speed"
 | Judge Parker replied as follows: 1 T beg you to assure the convention
 over which you preside that it's message
 of congratulation and good wishes is very
 greatly appreciated. Will Not Resign Position.
 Todays information seems to give add
 ed force to the impression that Judge
 Parker will not resign his position in the
 court of appeals until after the formal notification of his nomination. This would delay the resignation until August | s, and thus prevent the election of his
 successor as coming judge. in November. l In that event Governor Odell would have the designation of a judge to fill the va cancy. The present court of appeals prop CT consists of three democrats and four republicans. Judge Parker's mail today. while very large, was devoid of features of peculiar interest excepting that two proud fathers one in Georgia and one in Louisiana. sent word that their newborn sons had been named after the judge. He spent the entire morning in his H. brary. and did not go to ride. He refused to discuss the New York conference of last night, or any other political ques- tions. The reporters and telegraph op- orator moved into their new quarters in the lodge today.
