 The onward sweep and expanding scoop of the Parker sentiment continues with out a break
 From New York comes assurance that leave no scrt of doubt that the State Convention will instruct for Judge Par ker Murphy has been making tramend- GUS efforts in Kings County. using the powerful leverage of the local patron age to break into the leadership of Pat rick McCarren, the local leader, to gain recruits for his non-instruction platform for delegates. but he appears, according u information received tonight, to have been unable to make any serious inroads. McCarren seems to have nineteen out Of the twenty-one delegates from Kings who will stand by him for instructions for Parker. The Hearst papers, with their hired mongers, have consistently sent out rer orts for effect elsewhere that Mo Carren had been deserted by the Brook lyn District leaders, but these men as often protest that they have been mis- represented and that they propose to stand by McCarren. whose fight has all aiCng been for autonomy for Brooklyn, borough of Greater New York
 MeCarren's Ultimatum.
 McCarren today, surrounded by his leaders. made this declaration.
 "The State Convention will instruct for Judge Parker for President. There Is no manner of doubt about that.
 ''The instructions will be as positive and absolute as the English language can make them"
 From Indianapolis. where the Hearst ites. with abundant poodle. had high hopes of capturing the delegation from that city, news comes that Parker swept every one of the fifteen wards. Tag gert met the onslaught in which the labor clements of the city were enlisted for Hearst, and won a signal victory for Parker ali along the line
 Democrats in Congress are going about their affairs now with a feeling of as- surance that the nomination is as good as settled for the New York Njurist and appear to be vieing with each other in expressions of confidence of his nomina- ton. ... There are notable evidences of gas es- caping from the Hearst balloon. Within the last week it has sagged quite visibly and is sinking and plunging toward the ground. The news from Kansas sickened the faithful as nothing else has done. From various points comes echoes of complaints that the usual stipends for faithful spellbinders are either lacking or that installments are unaccountably de- layed.
 Hearstites Nervous.
 There IS a great deal of nervousness somehow. among the Hearst boomers. About Washington even they are not near so loud as they were some weeks ago. Several months ago they had a tremendous meeting. widely advertised and exploited. The enthusiasm was ap- parently enormous. It has been petering ou. from that day to this.
 The Hearst papers have sought to ap- oropriate credit for every Supreme Court decision bearing upon the trusts and un- dcubtedly work of that sort done in the name of Hearst has injected some oxy- gen, as it were, into the veins of the domed and dying boom. It may serve as a big ad for the yellow journals, but it will need all the horribly fascinating car toons or Carter the beautifully droll pie torials of Opper. and the weird editorials O. Arthur Brisbane to make them much longer tolerable.
