JUDGE GRAY BOOM LAST RESORT
Foes of Parker Shit From Mcclellan

CHICAGO. June 13.-Walter Well
man, in a special to the Record-Herald
from New York. says:
Judge George Gray of Delaware and
not Mayor George b. Mcclellan of New
York is the man whom the democratic
opponents of Judge Parker hope to
nominate for president at the St. Louis
convention, which is to meet a month
from tomorrow. The hope is a faint
one, however.
The Parker boom has made so much

give out their opposition and come in

If Senator German, former Senator
Smith, Colonel Guffey. and John r.
Mclean of Ohio We're to join the Par
ker forces at once, the nomination
would be a foregone conclusion and
there would be nothing left to trade
upon.
The only way to make terms with
the Parker people is to organize an
opposition which may have something
to sell that the opposition want and
possibly may need in their business
Although Parker is almost as good

cratic politicians expect a lively fight
at the national convention over the or
ganizatiOn of the committee on resOlu-
tons Ii is understood that David 3.
Hill, who will head the delegation
from New York, will have himself
placed on the committee and all the
democrats expect as a matter of
course that W. J. Bryan will be Ne
braska's member of the committee.
They also expected that both Hill and
Bryan will be candidates for the chair
manship and that in that fight will
come the first test of Bryan's strength
in the convention. Hill may have a
fight on his hands in the New York
delegation in order to get on the COM
mittee on resolutions. 1t is expected
that the Tammany delegates will Op-
pose him and they may have some
support from up the state. At Kansas
City four years ago he was kept off the
committee by order of Richard Croker.
If Bryan is defeated for the chair
manship of the committee and the plat
form reported does not indorse the
Kansas City platform, he will, in the
opinion of democratic politicians, pre-
sent a minority report which Will en-
able him to make a speech in the
