PARKER TRIES NEW HOTEL,
FAR FROM STREET CARS AND
THE HOFFMAN, OUTCRY.

Accepts Invitation to the Manhattan Club

Six-Word Handmade, AnyhOw-L0ng
Session with Belmont Last Evening
Candidate Parker came to town yester-
day for visit that will probably last unit
tomorrow evening. He forsook the Hote
Aston and the Hoffman House, his places
Of abode on former visits, and went to the
Hotel Seville, at Twenty-ninth street and
Madison avenue The reason for the
change is understood to be the noises which
kept the Judge awake at the other hotels
To his rooms at the Hotel Aston came many
sounds from the street, and when he stayed
at the Hoffman his sleep was broken by
bowls from the lobby of Democrats who
disapprove OF the way the national cam
paign is being run. The Seville has little
street noise and no turbulent Democrats.
Its owner Justice Dugro, is friend OF the
Presidential candidate. Secretary McCaus-
land had inspected a suite and approved
OF it, but Judge Parker showed his con-
servatism when he drove up to the hotel
by leaving his bags in the cab until he had
gone through the rooms. They met with
his favor, and the luggage was brought
up.
Going into the elevator the Judge had to
pass under a gorgeous Seville crown, sym
bolic OF horrid Imperialism. The motto
beneath it announced that .Virtue COM
mands praise" but that didn't help ap-
pearances much.
Among the candidates earliest visitors
were several members Of the Manhattan
Club, who came to ask him to attend a
reception at a date to be named by him.
There was talk Of getting Justice Herrick
there. too. Judge Parker's answer was
favorable, but it is far from likely that
he will make speech. Those invited to
the reception will get the genuine. I'M
abridged Parker handshake, which is
accompanied by about six we'll chosen
words calculated to be cherished always
by the recipient.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles called twice. He
is to 60 on the stump for Parker and they
conferred on the tone of the warriors
speeches.
Marion C. Butler, formerly Senator from
South Carolina. and ex-Gov. Benton MoMil-
lin OF Tennessee we're callers. Their er-
rands were like that Of Gen. Miles. The
Parker managers are recruiting most of
their speakers from the South.
William F. Sheehan and Smiling Tom
Taggart went to the Judges rooms at
o'clock. The Judge left them and went
downstairs 10 luncheon alone. They had
already lunched. On his return the three
had long talk.
Judge Parker and Mr.. McCausland dined
at the Manhattan Club last night
August Belmont was with the candidate
from 1918 P. NJ. when Judge Parker re-
turned from dinner until after II O'Clock.
Other callers were Col. Daniel S. Lamont.

man of the Ulster County Democratic COM
mittee; Howard Taylor of the Parker Con-
stitution Club; James D. Phelan. ex-Mayor

and delegation Of Connecticut Democrats
which included the candidate for Governor,
A. H. Robertson; Judge J. j. Walsh of New
Haven, chairman OF the State committee,
and Mayor Mahan Of New London. The

New Haven on Oct. 10 and Bourke Cochran
will repeat the dose on Nov. 4.

went to the Hoffman House.
