 WITH LEADERS Judge Parker Spends Day
 in New York.
TALKED OF THE CAMP AIGN
Denied Jerome Was offered
 Gubernat0rial Nomination.
Davis, Hill, sheehan, Ryan, German, McCarren Williams and Others Call Upon the Democratic
 Candidate at His Hotel

New York Sept. l5.-Alton B. Par ker today conferred with more than a score of prominent party leaders who called on him at his apartments at the Hotel Astor. Important matters relat- ing to the campaign which may reor- ganize the methods now in operation. the letters of acceptance of the candi- dates for President and Vice-President. and the discussion of a slate for New York were included in the business under discussion.
 By special arrangement with the ho- tel management. all guests who. by appointment. called to see Judge Par ker, were ushered in through a pri- vate entrance and no persons without the proper credentials bearing the en- dorsement of Parker's private secre- tary were permitted on the fifth floor, where the candidates apartments were situated.
 The Conference With Hill.
 One of the interesting features of Judge Parker's day was his talk with David B. Hill. This has been con nected with a call by Hill on District Attorney Jerome. It was reported that Mir. Hfll rendered the Governor ship nomination to MT. Jerome. That story Is now denied and information
 
 that Mir. Jerome was offered any place on the State ticket except the nomina ton for Governor.
 The talk concerning the mention of Mir. Jerome as candidate for governor was the subject of intense interest. Opponents to MT. Jerome are said to have taken alarm because of the ap- pearance of unusual activity on the part of the leaders. Those who are so fortunate as to get an audience with Judge Parker argued against an in- dorsement of MT. Jerome.
 Among those who are known to have called on Judge Parker are Henry G. Davis, Senator German, Colonel La- mont. George Foster Peabody, w F. sheehsn, Daniel MeCopville. Chairman of the speakers Rureaus Representatives John sharp Williams of Mississippi. August Belmont. Perry Belmont and State Senator McCarren of Brooklyn.
 German and Ryn.
 Senator German and Mir. Ryan re- mained with Judge Parker for three hours and this is taken as an indica- tion that the Senator has become &C., tive in the campaign at least in an advisory capacity.
 John Sharp Williams discussed cam paign oratory with Judge Parker He has been assigned already for speeches at Louisville and Detroit and 1t was decided that he will be heard in New York. This is at the earnest request of Judge Parker.
 It was announced tonight that Judge Parker's letter of acceptance will be published September 26. Senator Da- 'vis's letter will come a week later. Mir. Parker will start for Esopus to- morrow evening.

Wood run took the platform. withdrew his name from further consideration. moved that the nomination of Lieutenant Gov ernor Higgins be made unanimous. and pledged the fullest support of himself and his Kings County forces in aid of the ticket about to be nominated.

Washington. Sept. 15.-wIth a view to a reduction in the expense of main taining a large military establishment in the Philippines. Lieutenant General Chaffee. chief of staff. recently cabled an inquiry to Major General Wade, commanding the Philippine division, asking if conditions in the islands would not justify the reduction of the present military force there from four regiments of cavalry and nine of in- fantry to three regiments of cavalry and seven of infantry.
