VIII STAY AT R-osEMoUNT.
Judge Parker WIN Make Only Two or
Three Speeches During the CAM
paign-Mr. Davis to Visit the Nom-
fuon

Esopus. n. Y. July 1s.-United states
Senator Arthur Pue German. of Mary
land. who has beer asked to become
chairman Of the Democratic national
committee was invited by Judge Par
ker to come to Rosemount tomorrow
with former nat Davis. the vice
presidential candidate and until late
that he would come. Tie following TEL
egram from him. dated New York, was
given out here at 5 O'Clock:
Regret that it will be impossible for
me 10 accompany Senator avis tomor-
row viii afford me pleasure later on
The heat here was intense again to-
day. and affected everybody and every
thing. Judge Parker had his morning
swim. but did not take his usual horse
back ride. His only absence from the
house was-during a walk in the fed
where the hay makers were forking ur
a load behind the ox-team.
At 5 o'clock the steam yacht Queen
City brought up a party OF the judges
Democratic lends from Poughkeepsie.
He showed them about the place. bu,
the visit was entirely informal. Mr..
Sheehan did not return home today. u
is expected tomorrow. very hkely with
Mr.. Davis.
The expected coming OF the vice pres
idential nominee brings up again the
ak OF joint notification. but there il
really little reason to suppose any such
thing likely. Judge Parker a at no
time expressed any but a casual inter-
est in the proposition and naturally
would not feel that the initiative could
properly come from him in any case.
1t was reported that National Com
mitteeman Taggart was expected in
New York today or tomorrow. but moth
ing definite could be learned here and
apparently there is no present expecta-
ton Of his coming to Rosemount.
A report is current that there will be
an effort to get Judge Parker TO begin
his active campaign in the middle west
with a speech at Chicago, soon after
the notification ceremonies. 1t is I'M
derstood that Mayor Garter IL. Harri-
son, of Chicago is anxious not only TO
have the first big gan OF the campaign
fired in Chicago. but TO ave Judge
Parker and William J. Bryan on the
Platform together upon that occasion.
OF course nothing definite on that sub
~ ANA~s ~ oNeN
Parker absolutely refuses TO discuss any
of his plans subsequent to his notifica-
ton.
So far as the notification itself is con.
cerned. it will be held at Rosemount.
Judge Parker intends TO remain here
throughout the campaign, save perhaps
for two or three absences to make
speeches in large cities, such as Chica-
go, Philadelphia and New York and
possibly Boston.
Today's information seems to give
added force to the impression that
Judge Parker will lot resign his posi-
ton in the court Of appeals until after
the formal notification of his nominal
ton. This would delay the resignation
until after August Sth, and thu pre-
vent the election of his successor as
chief judge in November. In hat
event. Governor Odell would have the
designation of a Judge to fill the va
cancy. The present court OF appeals
proper consists of three Democrats and
four Republicans.
Judge Parker's mail today while very
large was devoid of features of special
interest excepting that two proud faith
ers, one in Georgia and one in Louis
lana, sent word that their new born
son had been named after the judge.
Big Celebration i'm Chicago.
Chicago,July 19.-"It is true that we
are to ave a meeting in Chicago or
August 90 said Mayor Harrison to-
day, after reading the Associated Press
dispatch from Esopus relative TO the
opening of the Democratic campaign.
w intend to invite Judge Parker
to be one of the speakers. The cele-
bration was originally set for last Sat
urday. July 10th, but we changed the
date when we found it would occur be-
fore Judge Parker and Mr.. avis had
received their official notifications. We
have already invited Mr.. Bryan, ex-
Senator Towne, and Champ Clark They
have practically accepted and We are
