THEIR ICY HANDS TOUCH.
DOYLE MEETS M'CARREN.
Mclaughlin Viescs This Scene at
Harmony at Brooklyn Meeting.

Alas for the Parker-Dayis love feast al Pros-
pect Hall, Brooklyn. last night! IL was a IoVe
feast in external appearances only. Senator NC
Carren, indeed attended, and shook hands with
his rival, William A. Doyle. But what shake II
was! A cold storage plant would be tropical
compared with the warmth of the greeting.
Throughout the evening the two men kept apart
as much as possible. Hugh Mclaughlin was
there, too, but his contribution to the harmony
went no further than the acceptance Of seat
in a remote box, where he loftily reviewed the
scene taking part in it,
W. Bourke Cochran did all the talking. He
talked for two hours to unappreciatiye ears. In
vain he whirled his arms about. stamped his
feet and beloved until he grew purple In the
face. Many in the audience were keeping the
police busy. Mr.. Cochran gained the most ap-
plause when he caused the arrest OF a photog-
rapher who was about to take his picture.
A One-armed man in the audience contributed
greatly to the harmonious hilarity by persist
emily addressing Mr.. Cochran as Mister
O'Bryan."
President Roosevelt, ex-Secretary Root and
Secretary Hay were all objects OF Mr.. COckrans
vitriolic personalities.

PARKER TO TAKE CHARGE
Meaning of His Plan to Make
WeekIy Trips Here.

The Generalization and general chaos of the
Democratic campaign has been brought home TO
eK-Judge Parker with such telling effect that II
was said last night that he intended to assume
personal charge Of the campaign. He will come
here the fore part of next week and open personal
headquarters 1t is probable that these head
quarters win be in the Hotel Astor.
It is the intention of Mr.. Parker to spend three
or four days each week in this city until Election
Day. He viii place himself in touch with the lead
ers from al parts Of the country. He will try to
bring about harmony His friends advised him TO
take hold personally else abandon hope of being
elected.
The leaders have turned over to Mr.. Parker the
selection Of q. candidate for Governor The leaders
were so far apart this matter that no agree
ment could be reached This gave Judge Gaynor
a boom last night
The fact leaked out yesterday that Mr.. Parker
was extremely anxious TO have the bankers come 10
his reception at the Astor on Friday An attempt
had been made the day before to get some OF
the bankers 10 ride UP 10 Esopus on a yacht as
the guests Of the national committee and Mr.
Parker II was said. had a strong speech an pre-
pared This plan fell through because none OF the
bankers wished TO make the trip. Mr.. Parker, who
had not intended TO come to the city until Friday
was induced 10 come Thursday to attend the
bankers reception arranged IN his honor by Secre-
tary Woodson Of the national committee AS stated
bankers at the reception, and some of these were
Republicans. -

DEMOCRATS SPLIT
Fight for County Judge May GiVe
Republicans Easy Victory.

reD,,bl,csr leaders in Nassau County, President
Roosevelt's home county. wish to roll up SUD
santial majority there, and it is admitted by All
that the makeup Of the two county tickets may
,a an in,portant Part in the returns. 1t is there
fore with considerable complacency that the Re-
publicans are watching recently born but well
grown and rapidly growing fight among some OK
the leading Democrats, which. II it is not settled
bids fair to throw the much desired majority into
the Republicans hands, with scarcely an eIort on
their part.
Robert seabury. County Judge and Surrogate
one OF the strongest Democrats from the vote get
ting point OF view. in Nassau County has held OF
fee for a full term of six years. and is standing
for denomination. Until within few days II was
believed that ne almost certain to be re-
nominated When It was learned that popular
demand for the nomination Of another man was
assuming shape. the leading Democrats were taken
aback. and the Republicans were thus warned that
their task in President Roosevelts home county
might be made less difficult. District Attorney
James P Niemann. also strong Democrat, has
held the office for two terms OF three years each
Last week ne announced that he would not accept
a third nomination Some Of his friends found he
would run for county judge and surrogate. and at
once set TO work TO capture delegates. They urged
that Mr. Niemann has served for six years IN a
difficult position. and that he deserves promotion.
Also they pointed out tha; he IS young and phys-
cally vigorous and therefore able TO make strong
personal effort during the campaign. whereas Judge
Seabury is fran physically and has never been
known as an active campaigner.
Judge seahury's friends were up In arms at
once when they learned that no held no assured
hold on the Democratic nomination. Some active
hustling was begun At once, but II was seen that
the delegates selected to attend the county con
vention on September IS had been. almost without
exception interviewed by Mr.. Niemann's friends
and that a fight on the convention floor seemed
Inevitable.
The Oyster Bay delegates stand solidly for MI
Niemann; North Hampstead is doubtful and
Hempstead whose delegation is by far the largest
is divided. Mr.. Nemaun and Judge Seabury both
live in the town OF Hampstead and the battle for
the nomination win probably be fought out among
the delegates from that town. although II VIII un-
doubtedly be carried TO the convention Hoor. Ihe

PARKER HITS STRAW NAN.
Hints at Personal attacks That
We're Not Made.

One of the leading features OF the Democratlc
campaign textbook which is to be sent oFoaocast
70 Democratic campaign speakers TINS week Is
letter from ex-Judge Parker, requesting that noth-
ing be said in the book rejecting on the character
or integrity of President Roosevelt. Whether the
letter was prompted by the experience OF the cam
paign managers in failing to make an issue out
OF the personality" OF the President. or whether
as seems more likely Mr.. Parker wanted to create
a straw man" and then kill him, can be 1uosea
from the letter which is addressed to George r
Parker chief of the literary department OF the
national committee 1t follows:
