sion Relative to the National
ChairmanshiD.
Esopus. N. Y, July Former Sem
ator Davis, the Democratic vice presi-
Dental candidate, arrived at Esopus
to-day, accompanied by National Com
mitteeman Norman E. Mack of New
York, and D. ]. Campau of Michigan.
They We're driven at once to Rose
mount. Judge Parker and Senator
Davis had never met before. Mr..
Mack introduced the candidates and
they warmly greeted each other.
The party then divided up into lit
tie groups and Judge Parker and Sen
ator Davis withdrew to the south end
of the veranda, where they conversed
for a time
Senator Davis declined to be inter-
viewed at all, but submitted affably to
the phalanx of photographers who am
pushed him at the station.
Messrs. Mack and Campau, speaking
of the national committee chairman
ship, said they still regarded Senator
German as a possibility.
After luncheon Judge Parker and
Senator Davis first went patiently
through the process of being photo
graphed in various poses and then en-
tered upon a conference which lasted
more than three hours. No one but
Judge Parker and Senator Davis know
what they talked about. Their con-
versation was very earnest and pune
tuated by the Senator's vigorous ges-
lures, and now and then by the judges
hearty laughter.
No Joint Notification.
The only positive result of their
meeting made known for publication
was that there will be no joint noti-
fication. Judge Parker himself said:
THE notifications of Senator Davis
and myself will take place in our re-
spective states. This is all we will
say at this time"
Later he declared positively that
his own notification would take place
at Rosenount. It is likely that Sem
ator Davis will be notified at White
Sulphur Springs, that place being more
conveniently situated than Elkins, the
candidates home town.
As to the Chairmanship.
National Committeeman Mack while
here to-day talked freelSof the situa-
tion with reference to Mr.. Murphy
and Tammany Hall, and their attitude
toward the campaign and the national
ticket. He scoffed at the idea that there
was any sinister significance in the
failure of Mr.. Murphy to send con-
gratulations or other messages to
Judge Parker, or in the absence up to
date of any special overtures from
Judge Parker to Mr.. Murphy.
"Mr. Murphy will be found Loyalty
supporting the ticket" he said. Tam
many is one of the organizations that
can be relied upon to get out its vote.
AS for Mr. McCarren. 1 do not deny
that there is a rivalry between him and
Mr.. Murphy, but they are both good
Democrats and there is no reason why
their feelings toward each other should
interfere with the success of the
ticket"
Asked about the national chairman
ship. Mr. Mack repeated his hope that
Senator German would be induced to
take it, Some one asked If it was not
the pfan that Senator German should
be chairman, with Taggart in charge
in the West and Sheehan in the East.
THAT would be an admirable ar
rangement." said Mr.. Mack.
