Leaders Risking Nothing.
Bryan has nothing to lose. because he
can change his policy between the is
sues of his weekly newspaper. Murphy
has nothing to lose. because he can
maintain his opposition until he forces
terms from HlI and Parker in the COM
position OF the New York State ticket,
which Is 10 be nominated in September
In the meantime the Tammany tom
toms are booming and the Bryan Gym
cals are changing and there is a great
deal of hubbub over very little sub
stance.
Murphy and Bryan have been trying,
without avail, TO agree upon any one OF
the following men:
RiCnard Oney Of Massachusetts.
Robert Z. PattisOn % Pennsylvania.
Judge Gray Of Delaware.
Senator German of Maryland.
Lieut.. Cen, Nelson 4. Miles, retired.
Mayor Mcclellan Of New York.
+. G.. Wall Of Wisconsin.
Senator CocLrel Of Missouri.
JudsUn Harmon of Ohio.
There have been ION the side" other
candidates suggested individually by
either Murphy or Bryan. but whom they
were not willing TO support at exactly
the same minute. Among these are eS-
Vice President Stevenson of Illinois,
Representative John Sharp Williams OF
Mississippi, and States Attorney Joseph

Call Parker Impossible.
One of the noteworthy features of the
situation is the 'neve--say-di spirit
Of the Hearst managers Despite all
the Parker signs they continue to pro-
Tess their belief that Hearst's nominal
lion can be effected Just as soon as
Parker is eliminated. They have ex-
ressed their confidence in the form Of
bulletin, as follows:
After q consultation among the
mana gers representing the various can
didates and delegates opposed TO the
nomination of Judge Parker 1t was
formal agreed among them that the
nomination Of Judge Parker is ImpOs-
sible. The opposition represents easily
much more than One-third of the votes
d nomination. all of whom agree not
10 support Judge Parker's candidacy
under any circumstances.
This was signed by NJ. f. TaTpey, Of
California; Gen. James b. Weaver, Of
Iowa and Judge Johnson. of Kansas,
all Hearst men. 1t was issued after
long conference. al which IL was claimed
that eighty Of the representatives OF the
anti-Parker forces We're present. The
of all the favorite sons were there, in
