ton. But, Hill either does not UNDER
stand the real Situation and Murphy's
position in the matter, or he merely
wanted to save appearances and took
good care to make his basis Of recon-
Citation unacceptable. Hill is too
old politician not to have a perfect
Ily clear understanding Of the actual
status. Those who know him are
convinced that Hill really does not
that he can win the fight in spite Of
Murphy and Tammany Hall. In that
he is probably mistaken and this fatal
error may cause the ignominious de-
feat Of Judge Parker.
Murphy's plan, as understood by
longheaded democratic politicians, Is
perfectly clear and feasible. If Tam
many does not support Parker, the
latter can not carry the state. Only
those who know nothing about the po-
doubt that for a single moment. If
Parker fails to carry his own state,
the blame will naturally fall upon
Hill, who is not only the sponsor for
Parker's candidacy, but also the lead
er of the state democracy. That is
exactly what Murphy wants and what
he is confidently expecting.
If Parker fails, it will not only
mean the political downfall of Judge
Parker. at least so far as his future
prospects for the presidency are con-
cerned. but also the political death
of Hill. Then, the most dangerous
rival being eliminated. Murphy will
have no difficulty in taking the lines
into his own hand and assume the
control of the democracy of New
York state.

Judge Parker. probably guided by
unwise advisers, is responsible for
another serious bluder. which has al

in this state. but all over the country
The selection of Cord Meyer, we'll

representative Of the trusts and as

is considered absolutely inexcusable
If anything was needed to emphasize
the general belief that Judge Parker
is friend of the trusts, this will do
it. Many serious minded democrats
in this state are wondering how Judge
Parker will be able TO reconcile his
attitude toward the trusts with the
antitrust plank which is sure to be
one of the most prominent and vital
features of the democratic platform.

ditions have arisen right here, in
Judge Parker's own state, which
threaten to complicate the political
situation to such an extent that Judge
Parkers success becomes more than
doubtful.
The whole trouble may be traced
back to the jealous strife for the po-
litical control of New York city and
the whole state of New York which
is being waged between Murphy, the
leader of Tammany, and Hill, the
leader of the state democracy. Those

something is done soon to reconcile
the hostile faction which, in this case,
is Tammany.
Tammany Leader Murphy is not an
enthusiastic admirer of Judge Parker
and has never made a secret of his
belief that Judge Parker Is not the
candidate who can lead democracy to
victory at the next presidential cleo
believe, however, that Murphy could
have been induced to support Parker
had things been managed in q differ
ent spirit. When HILL to secure his
own position as leader of the state
democracy, simply walked all over
the Tammany delegation in a rather
highhanded manner, he made a great
mistake.
Murphy is not the man to offer his
left cheek after his right cheek has
been struck. 1t is safe to say that
Hill will have plenty of opportunity
to regret his method in dealing with
Murphy. 1t means a fight to the bit

themselves UP to illusions concerning
the outcome of the fight
