NEW YORK, May 1.-THE political
friends of Judge Parker, who q few
weeks ago 3 extremely hopeful
and enthusiastic. are no longer 30. Not
that they think less Of their candidate
for the presidency; but conditions
have arisen right here, in Judge Park
er's own state, which threaten to com
plicate the political situation 10 such
an extent that Judge Parker's success
becomes more than doubtful. The
whole trouble may be traced back TO
the jealous strife for the political con-
troll OF New York city and the whole
state of New York, which Is being
waged between Murphy, the leader
OF Tammany and Hill, the leader Of the
state democracy. Those among Judge
Parker's friends, who understand the
situation and do not shut their eyes
intentionally to the signs on the 20
litical horizon, are beginning to doubt
that their candidate win BE- able Z
carry the state, unless something il
done soon 10 reconcile the hostile fac.

Murphy Not Loyal.
Tammany leader Murshy Is not an

his W position as leader Of the state
democracy, simply walked all over the
