Anti-Parker Men Fail to Get To-

st. Louis. No, July 5.-PaTkeT's
strong position remains mistaken The
opposition has made many assaults
during the day but has apparently
made no impression. The solid and
substantial phslanx Of the New York
jUrist has Withstood all efforts of the
friends of other candidates. and tonight
is apparently stronger than ever. As
surances of accessions from Instructed
delegations after the first ballot have
been received from men who are now
tied TO other candidates which the Par
ker adheTents say insures uOmina-
ton by the second ballot.
All day Ions the anti-Parker men
have tried TO offer a candidate who
would unite q third Of the delegates. so
as to have Tallying point when COM
plimentaTy ballots have been cast for
favOrite sons. The impossibility of
uniting has been made manifest. and
the most jealous opponents of Parker
concede his probable nomination not
later than the second ballot
Anti-Parker Men Not Routed.
The Parker opposition was disturbed
but not routed, by the action of Penn
sylvania last night. The sixty eight
votes of that state has been for weeks
placed in the Parker column, and are
part of the 500-Odd votes that have been
claimed for him. They were not in
structed, however, and if they could
have been secured for any other candi-
date il would have been a serious blow
to the Parker interests.
Criticism of the action Of PennsyIva-
MIA has been free and harsh among
some of the anu-Parker men, but 9TH
ers sag that a proposition made by one
of the Pennsylvania leaders IS quite
fair. Il is said that after the action
Of the Pennsylvania delegation last
night a member Of the delegation held a
conference with some of the anti-Par-
ker leaders and said that Pennsylvania
Notwithstanding the endorsement of
Parker would give sixty-eight votes to
any eastern candidate-with the exCep-
ton Of Hesrst-upon whom the oppO-
sitiOn would concentrate enough
pledged votes which together with the
sixty-eight votes Of Pennsylvania
would make two votes more than one
third of the convention. Among the
candidates named who would be sat
isfactcry were PattisOn of PennsyIva-
MIA, German of Maryland. Gray Of Del
aware. Harmon OF Ohio Olney Of Mas
sachusetts and COler Of New York
Upon this proposition some Of the anti
Parker men have been working, but
they have not been meeting with much
success.

Cohesion Of the anti Parker men is
apparently impossible. Hearst cannot
transfer his delegates and his support

% the hope that something may turn
up favorable to German.
Upon slender threads Of various kinds
the Parker opposition has hung its
hopes. while the Parker men have been
moving forward with calm assurance,
to other matters connected with the
convention. Former Senator Smith Of
New Jersey. who has been holding his
delegation in the leash while il was
anxious TO go to Parker said that Par
ker would be nominated unless the dis
agreement Of the platform should drive
some state delegations from New
YOrk's candidate.

Hill Not to be Chairman.

4 story was current that David p.
Hill, flushed with the fruits of victory,
would undertake TO force upon the op-
position a platform so radical that
some Of the southern delegates would
break away from Parker. But the IL
fusion was dispelled. 1t was tonight
learned that Hill would not be chair
man of the resolutions committee. but
that John A. Mach ahon OF Ohio or
Senator Bailey of Texas would be
chairman Of the resolutions committee
and that Bailey had been selected to
cross swords with William J. Bryan in
the debate over the platform on the
floor Of the convention.
Not the least OF the efforts Of the
arti-Parker men has been directed
toward preventing a stampede by dele
cations, whether bound by instructions
or otherwise. It is the rank and file
that is pressing for the wagon seats.
