 Mir. Davis planned to come to New York some time ago, and desired to ex- change views with the leaders here. Senator German has not been in New York since the first meeting of the Executive Committee. It was an- nounced at the time of the appoint ment of the Executive Committee that Senator German would be in close touch with the Democratic campaign and that the managers would have the benefit of his advice and counsel.
 German for Advice.
 Several Democrats, among those who urged that German be made Chairman of the National Committee, suggested last week that the Maryland Senator should come to New York and that nis advice be sought as to various features of the campaign. It has not been de- termined whether Senator German will make an indefinite stay in the city.
 It Is expected that the conference of Democratic leaders will be general and all plans of the campaign will be dis cussed--the work that has been done as we'll as the proposed work of tho future
 The first general plan of the cam pats \ Tas sa devote September sl organization and October to active field work in the way of speeches and club meetings, making 1t more vigorous from day 10 day and the last two weeks the most important and interesting of all.
 This plan has not been altogether without criticism, and there has been a demand from some prominent Dem . ocrats that the active work should be commenced at once and the people aroused to the usual interest of a Pres idential canvass. It is believed that this matter is one of the questions Which VIII Do taken up during the con- ference. Democratic leaders here do not anticipate that any change of plan will result, as Judge Parker has known and approved what has been done
