PARKER GOES HOME.
Important Question Settled at New
 York Conferences.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1T.-Several i'm portant questions were settled by the visit of Judge Alton B. Parker to New York and his conference with Demo cratic leaders. It was determined that Senator German should have an active place in the campaign, but that Chair man Taggart was not to be superseded. The conference of Tammany leaders with Judge Parker resulted in the set clement of differences in Greater New York so far as they relate to national and state issues
 The selection of a temporary chair man of the Democratic state copven- tion was made, and his name will be officially announced by Chairman Sheehan of the national executive com mittee today. T5e governorship and other state offices were discussed, but it was stated that nothing definite as to the selection of candidates will be determined until next week at Sara toga. Another matter left open is whether or not Judge Parker will make series of speeches during the cam paign., Other conferences will probably be held next week before Judge Par ker's letter of acceptance is made pub lie.
 Judge Parker returned to .Esopus on a West Shore train early in the even ing. Just before Judge Parker started fox Esopus he had his second conference within a few hours with Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam many Hali The interview was fol lowed by formal declaration on the part of Judge Parker that he is ju- bilant over the outlook for his election and that all is harmony in the Empire State.
 So pronounced is the harmony, so far as local political affairs go, that Sena- tor F. H. McCarren is to attend Tam many's big mass meeting in Brooklyn. William A. Doyle, who has been fight ing to depose McCarren, will preside. Charles F. Murphy will attend If his health permits,'' and Bourke Cochran is to make the principal speech. MT. Cockran is to be Tammany's star ora tor during the campaign.
 Talk of Jerome for governor is still rife in spite of the report that MT. Hill had offered the district attorney the nomination for attorney general and that 1t had been contemptuously re- fused. John B. Stanchfeld, E. M. Grout and Edward M. Shepard as can didates for governor were also consid- cred by Judge Parker and his con- ferees. Senator Patrick H. McCasren made it evident that Kings county would give no support to Shepard's candidacy, though he comes from Brooklyn. McCarren's candidate is E. M Grout
 What the convention will do next week. it, was generally said, was unde- termined, and there were possibilities of sudden and surprising developments after the arrival of the delegates at Saratoga.
