PARKER VISITS GOTHAM
MADE THE TRIP ON THE YACHT
SAPPHIRE.
Very Rough Voyage From Esopus-
Guest at Hotel Astor--Greet-
ed by Davis.

NEW YORK, September 15.-The yacht
Sapphire, on which Judge Alton b. Parker
left Esopus last night for this city, arrived
today and anchored off 35th street. Judge
Parker remained on board until after
breakfast.
The yacht arrived off the foot of West
35th street about ten minutes after y
o clock after a stormy and interrupted
trip down the Hudson from the candidates
home at Esopus. The yacht anchored up
the river at Cornwall during the height of
the storm and did not resume the trip until
daylight brought calmer weather.
Shortly after the Sapphire came TO anchor
q launch put out from her side and came
to the landing on the north side of the 31th
street pier. Three men got out of tne
launch and went to the nearest telephone,
where they apparently made arrangements
for carriages. In few minutes they re-
turned to the yacht. Judge Parker came
ashore soon afterward. accompanied by
John B. Mcdonald and Judge Parkers sec
retary. Arthur McCausland.
The judge appeared to be in excellent
health. He was asked about his trip about
the river and replied:
Nothing to Say About Trip.
II have nothing to say except that it was
rather a pleasant trip down, although it
was rough and we rolled considerably
AS the party went to the carriage boat
keeper at the pier. dressed in overalls and
with sleeves rolled. went up to Judge
Parker and greeted him by saying:
Judge. let me shake your hand
Certainly the judge replied, and he
shook hands.
The dock workrnen gave three cheers as
the judge started away, and Judge Parker
responded by raising his hat.
The carriage was then driven rapidly
away to the Hotel Astor. the new hotel at
Broadway and 44th street.
Greeted by Candidate Davis.
On his arrival at the Hotel Astor Judge
Parker was greeted by former Senator
Henry G. Davis, the vice presidential nom
inee, and William F. Sheehan, who accom-
panied him to his apartment and went into
conference with him Senator German, it
was said, was expected later in the day.
The purpose of this visit by the judge, as
well of the others which are expected
to follow, is to meet those persons with
whom he desires to confer, Or who wish to
consult with him. On of the trips it
is believed the democratic nominee will
have talk with former President Cleve-
land.
The Sapphire had quite a rough time of
it in the storm rolling considerably. The
wind was very high on the river and some
of those on board felt just little anxious
as the wind-swept rain dashed in heavy
sheets against the sides of the yacht.
An appointment was made for Perry Bel
mont to call on Judge Parker during the
day.
While no formal conference to that end
is to be held, the question of the demo-
cratic nomination for governor is to be con-
sidered during the judges presence in the
city, and 1t is probable that candidate
will be agreed upon before tomorrow even
