AFFAIRS AT EsoPus, N. VI

Effort viii Be Made To Get Judge
Parker to Begin His Active Cam
paign In the Middle West Soon AT
ter Notification Ceremonies.
Bsopus N. Y, July 19.-Esopus took
on new atmosphere today with the
arrival of the first train bringing New
York newspapers. The conference
Of New York Democrats held last
night at the Hoffman house was the
subject of the keenest interest to the
villagers, who hitherto have been
content in the knowledge Of Judge
Parker's nomination, without bother
ing about any of the details or gossip
connected with his campaign. The
Judge himself showed an interest be-
yond his usual calm and at breakfast
read the newspaper accounts Of the
conference with close attention, but,
as usual, without any comment which
could reach the newspaper men.
A report is current that there will
be an effort to get Judge Parker to
begin his active campaign in the mid
die west with a speech at Chicago,
soon after the notification ceremonies.
It Is understood that Mayor Carter Fl.
Harrison, of Chicago, is anxious not
only to have the first big gun Of the
campaign fired in Chicago, but to have
Judge Parker and William j. Bryan
on The platform together upon that oc-
oaston. OF course nothing definite
on that subject can be learned here,
for Judge Parker absolutely refuses
to discuss any of his plans subsequent
to his notification
So far as the notification itself is con.
cerned, it will be held at Rosemont.
Judge Parker intends to remian here
throughout the campaign, save, per.
haps, for two or three weeks abb
sence to make speeches in large cities,
such as Chicago, Philadelphia and
New York, and possibly Boston.
It was cloudless, very warm day
at Esopus. The judge began his
part Of it in the river, as usual then,
after the morning newspapers, he took
up his voluminous mail.
When Mr.. Davis comes to Esopus
tomorrow, he probably will be accom-
panied by Senator German. 1t was
announced at Rosemount today that
Judge Parker had sent the senator an
invitation to come with Mr.. Davis
Whether or not the senator's visit will
have any bearing upon the selection
Of chairman of the national commit
tee could not be learned. However,
1t is said that the question of national
chairman is still open and will not be
finally settled for some days.
Todays information seems to give
added force to the impression that
Judge Parker will not resign his posi-
ton in the court of appeals until af
ter the formal notification of his nom
ination. This would delay the resig-
nation until after Aug. 8, and thus
prevent the election of his successor
as judge in November In thta
event Governor Odell would have the
designation of judge to fill the va
cancy. The present court of appeals
proper consists of three Democrats
and four Republicans. Judge Park
er's mail today, while very large, was
devoid of features of peculiar inter-
est, excepting that two proud fathers,
one in Georgia and one in Indiana
sent word that their new born sons
had been named after the Judge.
He spent the entire morning in his
library and did not go to ride.
He refused to discuss the New York
conference of last night or any other
political question. The reporters and
telegraph operators moved into their
new quarters in the lodge today.
