Parker Mon Confident.

Parker Mon Confident.
AZ the close OF SIR Williams speech
the temporary organization was com.
ploted. and the usual committees were
appointed. Adjournment For the day
followed.
The situation regarding the presiden.
tial nomination IS practically m-
changed The friends Of Judge Parker
are claiming his nomination on the
first ballot Even the more conserva.
tive OF the New Workers. followers say
this end viii be accomplished on the
second or third ballot
The opposition to the New Workers
candidnture has made many assaults,
but has apparently made no impress
sion. The solid and substantial phalanx
Of the New York iurist has withstood
all efforts OF the friends OF other can
didates and is apparently stronger than
ever. AssufanccS of accessions from
instructed DELEGATIONS after the first
ballot have been received from men
who are now tied TO other candidates,
which the Parker adherents say I'M
sures a nonsination on the second bal
lot.
Cohesion Of the anti-P0rker men is
apparently impossible Hearst cannot
transfer his delegates. and his sup
porters cannot promise the instructed
and pledged Hearst men for amy man
after Hearst is out Of the running
Massachusetts viii give no Indication
or pledge Of her delegates beyond OF
ney. The same is true of Wall in Wis
consin. Harmon In Ohio and Cockrcn
in Missouri although It is supposed
that Missouri would go 20 German
should there be an opportunity. The
German men in West Virginia. Mary
land and the District Of Columbia pre-
fer Parker TO uncertainty and are chat
ing under the restraint imposed upon
them by the venerable Henry G.. Davis.
who clings TO the hope that something
may turn up favorable 10 German.

| The meeting OF the New York dele
\gation was marked by degree of har.
Nnony such as has not prevailed lu
this delegation in several presidential
conventions. 1t was rumored prior tc
