Mr.. e. d. Broadhurst recited sew

last week was universally deplored. He

New York, Aug. 15.-At a confer
ence between Chairman Cord Meyer,
of the New York Democratic State
committee and Delaney Nicoll, vice
chairman of the National committee
today, an understanding was reached
regarding the New York State cam
paign. 1t was decided that the Ma
tional committee would not interfere
with the State committee in the State
and neither the national nor the
State committee will take uD any
work in New York city and Brooklyn,
where the campaign will be conducted
by the regular Democratic organiZa-
ton. The Democratic managers say
they are convinced that the situation
in greater New York is in the best
possible shape for a larger vote and
larger majorities than ever before.
The National managers will look to
the city organization to maintain this
condition OF affairs.
Later in the day Mr.. Meyer had a
conference with Patrick Fl. McCarren
at the State headquarters and the
State campaign was discussed.
The Democratic headquartcrs was
thronged with visitors today. Many
came seeking employment in some
capacity with the National committee.
Much work was done towards getting
the quarters III shape Assistant Ser
geant-at-Arms Donnelson was in
stalled as officer in charge.
Maine Democrats have been call
ing on the National committee for
speakers and Chairman Taggart has
been considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
sending several prominent men to that
State. The reports from Maine in
dictate reduced majorities for the Re-
publicans and the Democrats think
a close vote although the Republicans
are successful, will have a great moral
effect in other parts of the country.
Democratic speakers are not easily
obtained as many have made ar
engagements to speak later in the cam
paign.
