INCLINED TO THE STUMP.

Speech at tho Manhattan Club Hardy
Expected-Judge Parker VIII BE I'm
New York Most OF the Time Now
Last Evening with sheehan Alone.
Candidate Parker Ia here again, coat of
and hard at work. He has transferred
practically all his part Of the manag EN- ent
OF the Democratic national campaign from
Rosonount to the Hotel Seville. He will
remain In New York until Thursday night,
at least, and the Thursday
stays will probably continue all this month.
Judge Parker not only Is receiving the
politicians with whom he Is anxious TO con-
fer. but he is attending, In spare moments,
to lot OF correspondence with leaders
who are trying to carry doubtful States
and want his advice as to the best method.
There was no Indication yesterday that
Mr. Parker will change his mind about
not speaking at the Manhattan Club re-
ception to-morroy night. His managers
have about given UP hope that he will make
any speeches at all. Now they are turn
Ing toward Judge Herrick as a means OF
carrying the State for the national ticket.
Three OF Judge Parker's friends-Cord
Meyer, Norman E. Mack and William 8.
Rodie-who called on him yesterday, had
this In mind. They, and most Of the other
Parkerites, are convinced that the grocery
issue Is certain to elect Judge Herrick,
and they want to find way to make Judge
Parker profit by a Herrick landslide. They
all admire Judge Herrick's plan Of straight
forward ,oI, outspoken campaign, but they
believe 1t is too late to get the national
candidate to do as much for himself as
Judge Herrick is doing for the State ticket
Hence they must be content to let the
Herrick enthusiasm aid Parker, II possible,
by reflection
Judge Parker and his lieutenants are
now looking on Illinois as a possible Parker
State. c. G. Mallan of Chicago had a long
talk with the candidate. He is one Of the
John P. Hopkins crowd. Last week Ben
T.. Cable Of Illinois called on similar
mission.

Alaska, visited Judge Parker was not so

Seville averred that Mr.. Cobb was the
