DAVIS VISITS ESOPUS
CALLED ON JUDGE PARKER TO
DAY FOR A CONFERENCE.
Sentiment Indicates a Strong Prefer
ence for German for National
Craftsmanship.

ESOPUS, July 20.-Former Senator Da-
Wis. the democratic vice presidential candi
date, arrived at Esopus to.ay, accompa-
MED by National Committeeman Norman
E. Mack of New York and D. ]. Campau of
Michigan. They were driven at once to
Rosemount. Judge Parker and Senator
Davis had never met before.
Judge Parker's private secretary. Arthur
E. McCausland, and the judges son-n-law,
the Rev. Charles Meyer Hall, met the party
at the station. The visitors were driven di
rectly to ROsemount. where Judge and Mrs
Parker were waiting on the broad veranda.
Mr.. Mack introduced the candida teS and
they warmly greeted each other. Judge
Parker presented his guests to Mrs. Parker.
The party then divided up into little
groups. and Judge Parker and Senator
Davis withdrew to the south end of the
veranda, where they conversed for a time.
Senator Davis declined to be interview
ed at all. but submitted affably to the
phalanx of photographers who amused him
at the station
Messrs. Mack and Campau. speaking of
the national committee craftsmanship, said
they still regarded Senator German as a
possibility.
Luncheon was served at / o'clock. after
which the judge and his visitors went into
close conference Senator Davis and the
two national committeeman expect to re-
turn to New York this evening.
No Place for Information.
1t is becoming daily more evident that
Rosemount Is not the place in which to look
for information concerning the democratic
national committee craftsmanship. There
can be no doubt that present conditions
here favor the selection of Senator German
II he will accept the Craftsmanship. but
Judge Parker today apparently knew no
more actually about the final selection than
did the newspaper men who asked him
about it.
The bulk of opinion here today Is that
II Senator German finally refuses the ap-
pointment. National Committeeman Tag
gart will be the choice Judge Parker today
pursued his usual routine. beginning with
the plunge in the Hudson, excepting that
he did not go for a horseback ride after
breakfast. The heat was again intense
though tempered somewhat by a southerly
breeze.
The morning mail was much smaller than
mas been the average of late. and there
