ESOPUS. n. Y, July 19.-Esopus took on
q new atmosphere today with the arrival
Of the first train bringing New York news
papers The conference of New York demo-
Gratis held last night at the Hoffman House
was the subject of the keenest interest,
even to the villagers, who hitherto have
been content in the knowledge of Judge
Parkers nomination without bothering
about any of the details or gossip con-
Eected with his campaign The judge him
self showed interest beyond his usual
calm, and at breakfast read the newspaper
accounts of the conference with close atten-
tion, but, as usual, without any comment
which could reach the newspaper men.
To Open in the Middle West.
report Is current that there will be an
effort to get Judge Parker to begin his
active campaign In the middle west with a
speech at Chicago, soon after the notifica-
ton ceremonies. 1t is understood that
Mayor Garter II. Harrison of Chicago is
anxious not only to have the first big gun
OF the campaign fired in Chicago but to
have Judge Parker and William j. Bryan
on the platform together upon that occa-
sion. OF course nothing definite on that
subject can be learned here, for Judge
Parker absolutely refuses to discuss any
of his plans subsequent to his notification.
cerned 1t will be held at Rosemount. Judge
Parker intends to remain here throughout
the campaign, save. perhaps. for two or
three absences to make speeches In large
cities. such as Chicago Philadelphia and
New York and possibly Boston.
1t a cloudess, very warm day at
Esopus. The judge began his part IN 1t in
the river, as usual, then after the morning
newspapers he took up his very voluminous
mall.
Davis Visit to Esopus.
When Mr. Davis comes to Esopus tomor-
row ne will probably be accompanied by
Senator German. 1t was announced at
Rosemount today that Judge Parker had
sent the senator an invitation to come
with Mr. Davis. Whether not the sena-
tors visit will have any bearing upon the
selection of a chairman of the national
committee could not he learned. How
ever, II is said that the question of ma
tional chairman Is still open and will not
be finally settled for some days.
Today's information seems to give added
force to the impression that Judge Parker
will not resign his position In the court of
appeals until after the formal notification
of his nomination. This would delay the
resignation until after August s, and thus
chief judge in November. In that event
Gov. Odel would have the designation of a
judge to fill the vacancy.
The present court of appeals proper con-
licans.
Judge Parker's mail today while very
large was devoid of features of special in
terest excepting that two proud fathers.
one in Georgia and one in Louisiana, sent
word that their new born sons had been
named after the Judge.
He spent the entire morning In his library
and did not go to ride He refused to dis
cuss the New York conference of last night
or any other political question.
The reporters and telegraph operators
moved into their new quarters in the lodge
today.
Confirmed by Harrison.
CHICAGO, July 19.-"It Is true that we
are to have a meeting in Chicago on Au-
gust 90" said Mayor Harrison today, after
reading the Associated Press dispatches
from Esopus relative to the opening of
the democratic campaign. I'VE intend to
invite Judge Parker to be one OF the speak
ers. The celebration was originally set for
last Saturday, July 16, but we changed the
date when we found 1t would occur before
Judge Parker and Mr.. Davis had received
their official notifications. We have already
invited Mr.. Bryan. ex-senator Towne and
Champ Clark. They have practically ac-
cepted, and we are counting upon Judge
Parker"
