PRESS AGENTS FOR BOOMS
PAID TO RAISE UIND. "
TGmmany Does Not Like Way
Parker CanuasS Is Pushed.

Charles 2. Murphy's neutenants charge Au-
gust Belmont with resorting 10 ordinary press
agent methods in bostering up the Parker boom.
A story that the Parker boomers are resorting
TO paid press agent work in pushing the canvass
OF the judge was verified yesterday. Manning
& Minton, propretors OF "Cosmographic," with
offices at No. I Broadway. have undertaken TO
furnish the wind" for the Parker boom. It is un-
derstood that Maurice Minton, who is put down
in the City Directory Correspondent has
been engaged by August Belmont to do certain
press gent work for the Parker boom in the
Western States up 10 the time Of the st. LOUIS
convention Mr Minton is known TO the trust
in this city and among prominent pOiti-
clans at Washington as a competent agent 4
Tribune reporter learned yesterday that Mr.
0Iinton has been assisting the Parker boom by
sending editorial material to newspapers in the
West
An effort was made 10 see Ar Minton at his
business office in the Washington Building on
Thursday. The reporter was told tha; Mr. Min
ton was hardly ever at his Office, but that he
could be reached on the telephone az his Office
ar o'clock on Friday. He was not there yes
terday when the reporter called When the
young woman in charge Of the office was asked
the nature of "CosInograp phic" business she said.
we send out editorial matter"
Are you sending out editorial matter in aid
Of Judge Parker's boom for President" she was
asked.
"You'n have 10 ask Mr. Mnton about that"
was the reply.
A resort TO press agent work to brace up the
Parker boom is regarded among Tamnany men
as an admission that the wind has gone out Of
the boom and that Il is almost time to fly the
signal Of distress.
Cord Meyer. Democratic State chairman. cord
tally indorses the new press agent scheme
Last night Mr.. Meyer caused to be sent around
printed copy of a letter, purporting to be from
True l. Norris, member Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee from New-Hampshire The
letter tells Mr Meyer that New-Hampshire's
delegation St. Louis is solid for Judge Alton

In the preliminary canvass for the choice OF dele
gates the national convention tho feeling of the
Democracy of the State became strong for
each OF the gentlemen mentioned for place the
delegation TO declare himself publicly. IN order that
the rank and file of the party might know just how
all stood
The Murphy men have discovered that the
press agent work has been going on for several
weeks Some OF the stuff is being forwarded
from Washington. one method is for the boom
ers to take a brief extract from some labor suit
decision by Judge Parker and make it the
peg on which to hang a boom" story. Some
of these typewriter stories have been sent to
prominent members of Tammany Hail. and they
have turned them over to Mr.. Murphy. who, IL
