JUDGE PARKER,s GUESTS.
Chairman Tagsart and Mayor MecleI.
Ian Make Brief Calls at Esopus.

Esopus. n. Y. July 30.-Chairman
Thomas Taggart OF the Democratic ma
tional committee stopped at Esopus
last night on his way back to Indian
apolis Chairman Taggart and Judge
Parker went into close conference at
once, as Mr.. Taggart wished to catch
the 1890 train north TO resume his
journey.
Mayor George b. Mcclellan Of New
York spent an hour with Judge Par
ker in the afternoon. It was announc-
ed that the call was informal and that
politics were discussed only in a gen.
eral way. The mayor was accom-
panied by Corporation Counsel John J.
Delany, John Pierce and John b. Nc
Donald, all Of New York. The party
made the trip on the yacht Sapphire.
which arrived at the Esopus pier at
3 p. m. and departed at 4:15.
Neither Judge Parker nor Mr.. Tag
CART could be induced to say a word
after their meeting as to the subject
or results OF the conference. Judge
Parker accompanied Mr.. Taggart to
the station and waited with him till
his train came. Mr.. Taggart is going
to indianapolis TO attend the Indiana
Democratic state convention on Wed
nesday. He will return to Rosemount
the last OF next week.
That William +. Sheehan will be
chairman Of the executive committee
OF the national committee seems a fair
conclusion from what little could be
learned after the conference, although
the decision is evidently not final. Mr..
Taggart said that no selection had as
yet been made Of new quarters for the
national committee. The matter is iE
the hands Of Secretary Urey Woodson
and National Committeeman Norman
e. Mack Mr.. Taggart said he expect
ed to appoint the executive and finance
committees early in the coming week
and that the appointments would prob
ably be announced before his return
east.

She rounded the curve just as the
