would answer that question when the
ticket was-named. es9sa

the delegates.
Wait on National Committee
Around the jefferson hotel, where the
Democratic national committee was in
al-day session considering the manner
in which contests were to- be heard,
there was little diminution in the
crowd. The lobbies were filled with
persons who awaited the result of the
deliberations. Subcommittee were
named to hear the contests and the
waiting crowds gained no. substantial
information to reward their patience.
AT the headquarters Of the various
candidates there were many confer
ences, but these were not of char
acter to draw the masses.
Most of the delegation have arrived.
A number of these have brought
marching clubs, but the day was not
propitious for parading. being rainy.
The Kings county Democracy, of
Brooklyn, to the number of about zoe,
got out in the interest of Parker, and,
headed by a local band, the club pa
raded own-town streets between
showers.
Pennsylvania Declares for Parker
The action Of Pennsylvania tonight
in voting to abandon it's faVorite son
and support Judge Parker almosts en-
tirely changed the situation so far as
the divided sentiment in the New York
delegation was concerned. Senator
Hill was led to remark that with an
other small accession Judge Parker
would be elected on the first ballot
William T. Sheehan, who has been the
active leader of the Parker forces, and
August Belmont deprecated this and
argued that it would be wise to allow
the other states to at least have the
honor OF naming in convention their
favorite candidates.
The news was received at the Tam
many headquarters in an entirely diff
ferent(way- Leader Murphy at first re-
FUSED to believe it, saying he had been
assured late this evening that the dele
cation would support ex-Gov. Pattison
1t was only few minutes prior to the
announcement of Pennsylvania's vote
that State Senator Thomas f. Grady
had declared that Pennsylvania would
vote for her favorite son and that
Tammany had planned to abandon the
effort to concentrate the anti-Parker
vote and would devote itself to dis
trlbut1ng the ballots 50 that Parker
could not obtain "a tWo-thirds vote
prior to the seventh or eighth ballot.
In this way" said Senator Grady
we will be able to convince the con-
Ventien that it would better select some
other candidate, either Cleveland, Nc
Clellan or Gray"
After the announcement had been
made to them of Pennsylvania deci-
sion and they had somewhat recovered
from their surprise, they still gave it
as their view that there would be
enough votes held by Individual states
not instructed for Parker or voting
Tor Individual candidates to prevent
ID
ing vote at least the first five or six
ballots. Leader Murphy himself said:
we expected Pennsylvania to have
a candidate of its own, but we are not
dlsheartened. There are still two or
three days before the nomina ton, and
we shall continue to do active work
against Mr.. Parker, not because we
disiike him personally, but we know
that ne cannot carry New York state"
fammany Is Rebuffed

the leaders in Tammany went over tn
