committee. were among those who called
yesterday upon Chairman Taggart at the

prove anything but consolatory to the

Josephus Daniels, chairman Of the COM
mittee in charge OF the arrangements for

of Democratic editors, was very much
disturbed yesterday over the report that
the heads Of the national committee after
reckoning up the cost had decided that

HUGH M'LACGHLIN BACK.
Nothing TO Say on Politics on His Return
From His Vacation.

Hugh Mclaughlin, whose reign OF forty
years over the Brooklyn Democracy was
closed in the last campaign as a result of
his refusal to support the regular municipal
ticket Of his party, returned home last
evening from his summer vacation at Bell
port, L. l. Only few OF the old Willoughby
street guard were on hand to welcome
him, his Homecoming this year contrast
ing significantly in this respect with those
during his prolonged political dictator
ship.
II he cherishes any chagrin or disap-
pointment over the, setting, apparently
forever, of his political star, or harbors any
jealousy over the honors which have been
crowding in on his SUCCESSOR, Patrick II.
McCarren, it certainly has had no depressing
effect on his health and spirits Now
that the primaries have given his successor
at least another year Of control over the
organization, 1t Is very likely that MIR.
Mclaughlin will refrain from all political
activity.
When seen last night by the reporters
he refused to enter into any discussion on
politics. national, State or local.

LABOR LEADER AT ESOPUS.
John N. BOgart OF This City Has Long
Talk With Judge Parker.


EsoPUs. Sept. John N Bogart OF New
York, one of the State organizers of the
American Federation Of Labor spent sew
eral hours In conference with Judge Parker
to-day. Bogart has been prominent in
political labor matters for years. He was
figure in the State campaign Of 1907, when
he made himself very useful. More recently
he was one Of the lieutenants of William
Il. Hearst in Hearst's campaign for the
Presidential nomination.
There were rumors that Bogart was
called here to assist in Strengthening out
the labor union mess which involves Senator
p. II. McCarren and, incidentally. en-
dangers the Parker vote. The Parker
managers, while protesting that they do
not believe the union hostility to McCarren
will do more than help Tammany Hall,
were taking no chances. When Bogart
was seen after his talk with the candidate,
he insisted that his visit was OF a purely
personal nature
Il used to know Judge Parker very well
in Kingston" he said sd prefer that
you don't mention my name, even as having
been here"
Bogart did know the Judge in Kingston,
but the friendship was quite political, No
information in regard to Bogart's call WAS
available at Rosemount, where, however
no attempt was made to pretend that it
was merely social visit.
Two Congressman, a Judge and Colonel
were the candidates. other callers. The
first Congressman was Swager Sherley OF
the Louisville, Ky, district, who said he
happened to be in New York and thought it
well to come and see the Judge.
No doubt about Kentucky said Sherley.
I'VE will elect ten of the eleven Congress-
men, as usual.
Congressman j. L. Slayden came all the
way from Texas to have look He was
pleased
"The Judge impresses me as being the

Colonel. He is secretary to Gov. Aycock
