ED THE SABBATH
AT CHURCH AS USUAL
Some Talk About the
Chairmanship.


ker ofIlciated as plate passer at the
Mission church of the Holy Cross, |
Kingston, this afternoon at which his
son-in-law, the Rev. Charles Mercer
Hall, preached for the first time since
his return from the st. Louis conven-
tion. With Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Hall,
Mrs. Osterhout, his guest and John w.
Kern, of Indiana, who was guest at
Rosemount over night, the nominee
went to Kingston in his naptha launch,
led the party to church and passed the
collection basket to the great delight
of little negro boy in one of the rear
seats who dropped nickel on the
plate and received the usual bow of
commentator with which the judge
greets each contributor.
Mr. Kern did not attend the services.
Instead he took long ride about the
city with former State Senator Lin
son and returned in time to walk with
the Judge from the church doors to
the river.
The Rev. Mr.. Hall preached ser.
mon from st. Matthew, the 11th chap.
ter, the 2Sth to the 30th verses. Come
to me all ye that labor and are heavy
laden and | will give you rest The
keynote of the discourse was the need
of courage and faith in adversely and
humility in the hour of triumph. Not
even the remotest reference was made
4. IA To hn
distinguished member of the congre-
cation.
At the close Judge Parker shook
hands with many strangers and a few
friends, boarded his launch again and
steered back to Esopus.
1t became known this afternoon
that Judge Parker has not invited
Charles F. Murphy, of New York. TO
visit him at Rosemount, apparently
on the principle that If Mr.. Murphy
felt too little interest in his nomina-
tion to send a letter or message of
congratulation, he would probably feel
unwilling to talk over campaign plans
with the candidate
The ultimatum sent out last night,
that if conformable, Tammany Hall
may secure prominent representation
Allpon the state ticket, has not been
rescinded nor will it be, but the under
standing will be allowed to permeate
the hall that the Importance of the
place 1t gets upon the ticket will de-
pend altogether upon the amiabillty Of
its chieftain and that assurances Of
support for the Parker ticket, undi-
luted and whole hearted will be re-
quired as precedent to the giving of
any honors whatever.
John w. Kern of Indiana, who came
on to Esopus to find out the status of
the Taggart national chairmanship
Sboom, has been prevailed upon to re-
main at Rosemount until tomorrow
morning when he will journey to New
York in time to attend the import
ant conference of Democrats there.
Mr. Kern said tonight: 81 have not
talked the Taggart boom to Judge Par
ker although I will admit that in our
conversation we have canvassed poll
tics very thoroughly. came down to
Rosemount from Albany where had
important personal business Friday in
accordance with my own plans and
partly upon the suggestion of David
B. Hill, whom met at the state CAPT
tai and who said had better stop off
at Esopus and have talk with the
nominee. I found 1t very pleasant here
and when pressed by the Judge to re-
main over | gladly consented. l have
played many bold political game dur
l,,c, hut I
enough to suggest to a presidential
candidate the man whom he shall
choose to be national chairman while
l am guest under his roof"
Told of the frequently published re-
ports that a man of the stamp of Sen
ator German will be made titular ma
tlonal chairman while William f.
Sheehan and Thomas Taggart will run
respectively the eastern and western
ends of the campaign, Mr. Kern nod
ded his head and intimated that such
an arrangement was not considered
improbable. In an interview, however,
Mr.. Taggart has limited that while he
was candidate for the craftsmanship
he would not accept subordinate
place and if the arrangement alluded
to by Mr.. Kern as possible has been
seriously considered by Judge Parker
and his friends, it evidently has not
been brought to the notice of the In
dianian, Taggart will not attend the
conference in New York tomorrow but
his interests are expected to be rep
resented by Mr.. Kern who is himself
politician of no mean ability and has
now a thorough understanding with
the nominee
William f. Sheehan, drove over to
Rosemount this afternoon to hold fl
nal confab with his chief before leav
ing for New York on the O'Clock
train tomorrow morning. He said that
SO far as he knew no change in the
situation had taken place over night
and that the identity of the national
chairman and the date of the meeting
