THE CAMPAIGN
Continued from page -

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. per-
haps, for two or three absences to
make speeches in large cities, such as
Chicago, Philadelphia and New York
and possibly Boston.
When Mr.. Davis comes to Esopus. to-
morrow. he will probably be accom-
panied by Senator German. 1t was an
nounced at Rosemount, today, that
Judge Parker had sent the senator an
4 invitation to come with Mr.. Davis.
Whether or not the senator's visit will
have any bearing upon the selection Of
a chairman of the national committee
could not be learned However, il is
said. that the question Of national
! chairman is stillope n and will not be
finally settled for some days. There
seems to be increasing strength in the
belief that Senator German will be the
chairman is still open and will not be
be Mr.. Sheehan may be regarded as
practically certain. He will not take
it except under strong pressure and
there exists no disposition to attempt
| any such pressure.
Today's information seems to give
added force to the impression that
Judge Parker will not resign his posi-
| ton in tine court of appeals until after
the notification ceremonies in which
he is formally advised of his nominal
ton.
There is no foundation for the re-
ports that the judges are planning
dinner in Judge Parkers honor, as they
are widely scattered and will not b" to-
gether until October.
| Judge Parker's mail. today. while
very large. was devoid of features Of
special interest excepting that two
proud fathers, one in Georgia and one
in Louisiana, sent word that heir new
ly born sons had been named after the
judge
The judge spent the entire morning in
his library and did not go to ride. He
refused to discuss the New York con-
ference of last night or any other polit-
ical question.
The reporters and telegraph opera
tors moved into their new quarters in
the new lodge. today.
United States Senator Arthur Pue
German of Maryland, who has been
asked to become chairman of the ma
tiOnal Democratic committee, was in
vited by Judge Parker to come to Rose
mount, tomorrow. with Former Senator
Davis. the Vice Presidential candi-
date, and until late, this afternoon, it
was taken for granted that he would
come. The 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 Davis. to-
morrow. Will afford me pleasure later
on"
| The heat here was intense again,
today, and affected everybody and
everything. Judge Parker had his
morning swim, but did not take his
usual horseback ride. His only alb
sence from the house was during a
| walk in the field across the road. from
the gate. where the haymakers were
| forking up load behind the OK team
| After o'clock the steam yacht Queen
City brought up a party of the judges
Democratic admirers from Poughkeep-
sic. He showed them about the place
but the visit was entirely informal The
party included Former Mayor Ellis
worth and Edward l.. Perkins. chair
man of the Democratic county commit

| Mr. Sheehan did not return home, to-
day, but is expected, tomorrow, very
likely with Senator Davis. 1t is UNDER
stood here that more conferences were
| to be held in New York today, and this
| evening.
| The expected coming of Senator
Davis brings up again the talk of joint
notification, but there is really very
little reason to suppose any such thing
likely. Judge Parker has at no time
expressed any but casual interest 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, tomorrow, but nothing def
mite could be learned here and appar-
emily there is no present expectation of
his coming to Rosemount.
| The following telegram was received,
today, from the Iowa Democratic state
convention, dated, Iowa City, and
signed II. j. Stiger, as chairman:
Iowa Democrats in state convention
| assembled. congratulate you and the
nation on your nomination and the
prospects of your election. We wish
you Good speed"
Judge Parker sent the following re-
ply:
Il beg you to assure the convention
over which you preside that it's message
of congratulations and good wishes Is
very greatly appreciated.
