ST. Louis, July 4.-The action of
Pennsylvania tonight in voting to aban-
don their favorite son and support
Judge Parker almost entirely changed
the situation so far as the divided sent
iment in the New York delegation was
concerned.
Senator Hill was led to remark that
with another small accession Judge
Parker would be elected on the first
ballot. william F. Sheehan, who has
been the active leader of the Parker
forces, and August Belmont deprecate
this and argue that 1t would be wise
t. allow the other States to 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 1t, saying that he had
been assured late this afternoon that
the delegation would support ex-Gov-
ernor Pattisoon. 1t was only few
minutes prior to the announcement of
Pennsylvania vote that State Senator
Thomas F. Grady had declared that
PENNSYLVANIA would vote for her ia
vorite son and that Tammany had
planned to abandon the effort to con-
centrate the anti-Parker vote and
would devote itself to distributing the
ballots so that Parker could not OBJ
tain a two-thirds vote prior to the sew
erth or eighth ballot
Senator Grady Talks.
TN this way" said Senator Grady.
I'VE will be able to convince the Con-
vention that 1t had better select some
other candidate. either Cleveland. Nc
Clellan or Gray"
After the announcement had been
nf pann W " Mas dPrig-
ion and they had somewhat recovered
they still have It as their view that
there would be enough votes for indi-
yidual candidates TO prevent ParkeE
from obtaining a nominating vote al
least the first Ave or six ballots. Leader
Murphy himself said:
1--WE expected Pennsylvania to have
a candidate of its own, but we are not
disheartened. There are still two OF
we shall continue actively to work
against Mr.. Parker. not because we
dislike him personally. but we know
that he cannot carry New York State.
Bourke Cochran and some others OF
the leaders in Tammany went over to
Alabama's delegation during the even
ing to try and persuade them to con-
solidate their ten anti-Parker votes
Alabama has twenty-five votes, twelve
OF whom are Tor ParkeT, the OtnerS De-
ing divided on several candidates.
Alabama Stands Firm.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Cochran
was met with the threat by the twelve
Parker adherents that II any attempt
was made to consolidate the other in
terests they would cast the whole
twenty-five votes for Parker to the
last, they being under the unit rule.
Still another rebuff to Tammany's
plank came from Virginia. Tammany
assisted by Henry G. Davis of West
Virginia, nd been attempting to wir
the Virginia delegation away from
Parker. Senator Martin of Virginia
telegraphed Senator Hill this afternoon
that while en- route to the convention
the Virginia delegation had voted
unanimously to support Judge Parker
Practically the campaign of the war
ring factions of New York closed foi
the night just after Pennsylvania de
cision was announced, but Tammany
threatens to renew 1t tomorrow. The
New York delegation meets at II
o'clock tomorrow morning for the pur-
pose of naming members Of the various
committees.
