IT'LL BE PARKER-LAMB.
SEES HILL AND M'CARREN
Wig1canr Worhing Hard to Defeat
Judge-Preparing announcement.

Ex-senator Hill. Senator McCarren and At
torney General Cunneen We're in conference last
night at the Hoffman House with ex-Congress-
man John E Lamb. of Indiana. chairman of the
Indiana delegation to the St. Louis convention.
Mr. Lamb brought good news TO Messrs. Hill
and McCarren- He told them that Indiana was
solid for Judge Parker. and would vote for the
judge the first ballot
There isn't any doubt at all about Judge
Parker's nomination. said Mr.. Lamb. The
Parker sentiment has been growing stronger
every day in State. We consider the nom
ination of Parker settled. Indiana will have a
candidate for Vice. President if one is needed
from our State. No one is being talked of for
the second place on the ticket just now. Every
one wants to see the first place filed before the
second place is discussed.
Il hear considerable talk about Judge Gray,
of Delaware. 1 do not take it seriously. Judge
Gray is quoted saying that he is in favor OF
Judge Parkers nomination. and I believe he is.
Cleveland is an impossibiHty. The Indiana dele
cation will vote for Parker and keep on voting
for him till he is nominated"
Senator McCarren said that there was moth
ing particularly new.
Il had a little chat with Senator Hill. He will
be in town tomorrow. The Parker boom is in
good shape. and thing there is no doubt of his
nomination."
De Witt {. Flanagan, of Elizabeth. called at
the Hoffman House yesterday while ex-senator
Hill there
1t is regarded as about good as settled
that Judge Edgar NJ. Cullen Of the Court of APP
peals will be nominated by the Democrats for
Chief Judge Of the Court of Appeals if Judge
Parker resigns TO run for President Attorney
General Cunneen's friends are sure that he will
be nominated for Associate Judge TO succeed
Ceora Z. Martin who will retire this year be-
cause of the age limit
The Tammany men keeping a close watch
on the Hill men, but are saying nothing. The
Parker boomers trying to create the i'm
preston that the Murphy men will soon fall
into line for Parker and sue for peace. There Is
not the slightest indication of it, however, on
the other hand ii learned yesterday that
the Tammany men are working and planning
early and late to defeat the nomination of Par
ker and they seem TO be making good deal of
Roadway
An announcement is expected before Sunday
from the Tammany men that several prominent
Democrats who at first were in favor Of the nom
nation of Judge Parker now are in favor of the
nomination of Mcclellan at Sta Louis. Charles
f. Murphy and his friends do not expect TO bring
about the nomination of Mcclellan, but they
hope TO make a showing for him at the con-
vention that will put the Parker boom in the
shade

his services N the Senate would lie excep-
tionally valuable, not only 10 The State OF Penn

The President also said that during the next
session or TWO OF Congress there would be most
likely considerable constructive legislation on
the subject OF trusts and combinations of one
character or another, and IN that matter Mr.
knox could be OF great service.
The President. While regretting TO lose such
