 Judge Parker refused today to con- firm the report that he had accepted the invation of Norman F. Mack. the National Committeeman from Buffalo. to be with Mrs. Parker. his guests at the St. Louis Exposition on New York State Day October 24. There Is req son. however. to believe that he might make such trip. as this would not violate the principle upon which he has based his determination not to make any speech making tour if the occasion is not to be a political one. Gov ernor Odell is expected to make an ad- dress upon that date and persons prominent in the state regardless of party affiliations will participate in the ceremonies. tt
 It is expected that the notification ceremony will take place about D. m. Wednesday of next week. The notih- cation committee will probably come to Rosemount on a chartered steamer rather than by special train, though arrangements to that end are not yet complete. It is not yet settled how large a company will be present. at the ceremonies. or who will be in- vited.
 No visitors of political importance are looked for at Rosemount within a day or two though there are stand ing invitations to Democrats of note in various parts of the country who may come here any day. Among these are National Committeeman Clayton of Alabama; Mayor Patrick A. Collins of Boston: Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago; Representative W. R. Hearst, Richard Olney of Massachusetts; Senator Arthur Pue German; Senator Joseph W. Bailey, Judge George Gray of Delaware; Senators Daniels Sand Martin of Virginia, and many others of national reputation>
