Out Of the mist Of the morning, even as
the first rays Of the sun began to make the
walls Of the coy Martha Washington blush
chamber Of Judge Parker at the Hotel
Seville, at Madison avenue and Twenty
ninth street. The mists Of the morning
came no more quietly than Mr.. Hill. Nor
did they dissolve into the clear light OF the
day more unostentatiously than he dis
appeared. After he went away 1t was
observed that four heralds with mega
phones did not appear In the lobby of the
Seville to announce why Mr.. Hill came
and what he had accomplished by his visit.
Soon after Mr.. Hill vanished there came
George Foster Peabody with President
Benjamin Ide Wheeler OF the University
OF California. The appearance Of Mr..
Wheeler created no small scandal among
the watchers at Judge Parker's gates. Mt.
Wheeler is known AS friend OF President
Theodore Roosevelt On Mr.. Roosevelt's
trip to the Pacific Coast a year ago, Mt.
Wheeler travelled through the State Of
California as the Presidents particular
guest, guide and guardian. 1t is known
that the President has from time to time
turned to Mr.. Wheeler for counsel when in
doubt as to disputed or perplexing matters
on "the Coast" Mr.. Wheeler got into
the apartments Of the candidate without
recognition. He also escaped without be-
ing known. But no sooner had he gone
than every elevator boy in the hotel knew
who he was and that he had made most
portentous call on Judge Parker.
What was Mr.. Wheelers errandf% some
body asked George Foster Peabody. He
didn't learn
What was President Wheeler doing
here'" they asked OF Secretary McCaus-
land.
II wasn't present at the interview said
the secretary.
1t was even reported that some one had
had the temerity TO approach the candidate
on the subject and had learned that Judge
Of statement by Mr.. Wheeler rather than
by any one around the Seville.
Mr.. Wheeler was pursued to Columbia
University, where he was participating,
in academic gown and gaudy hood, in the
opening exercises, He was frankly sur;
on the political shelf by voting for Palmer
and Buckner. His visit was q social call,
made at the urgent request OF Mr.. Peabody,
on an old friend and a highly esteemed
acquaintance. It did not indicate any
shaaseh his n pubisSed eadsm "a Judss
Parker's letter Of acceptance.
Congressman Francis Burton Harrison,
Citizens candidate for Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor, called on Judge Parker with Walter
H. Bum, who is to be MI. Harrison's chief
OF staff in the campaign against 0dellism.
There was a brief conference, in which Mr..
Parker and Mr.. Harrison and MIR. Bum
found that they had a very good under
as to what the campaign in this
State ought to be. 1t has about been de-
himself especially, the task Of putting for;
ward the advisability Of Odells political
destruction. The Democratic State leaders
say that Mr.. Harrison will particularly
grace this undertaking because In all the
chemistry Of political mud making there
to Mr.. Harrisons skirts. His political
record has on it but one entry, the carrying
Of a steadfast Republican Congressional
district by q clean, hardworking, intelligent
campaign. Mr.. Harrison will enter upon
ceremonies in Albany next Saturday. After
making his response there he will go to
Millbrook and speak at Col. Dan Lamont's
''t Charles sa +. Murphy dropped in on Mr..
When he came out he smiled and said he
had discussed a few dates for meetings.
Then, smiling again, he went away. He
was chased, and upon demand for quota
ton said that he had full faith in the election
Of the ticket
he was sure that Mr.. Parker was going to
be elected and went away. So did s. J.
Tilden, De Lancey Nicoll, Don Farnsworth
of Illinois, H. Willard Bean w. Frank Hols-
APPEL and the Hon. James NJ. Gufey Of
Pennsylvania,
Loud laughter and the sounds OF con-
graduation were heard coming from Mr..
suite early in the afternoon. There
came downstairs a runor that the Hon.
Tom Taggart had declared that he was
going home to Indiana. Soon thereafter
there was a large dull silence upstairs.
It was followed by assurances, that Mr..
Taggart's services were greatly appre-
ciated by the leaders Of the party and that |
there wasn't anything In the rumor that
he was going back to lndiana-at least not |
at the moment
One of the features Of Judge Parkers |
visit is the alleged reconciliation Of Senator |
German Of Maryland and Isidor Rayner,
for MARYLAND. German tried |
10 prevent Rayner's election, and there has |
Parker managers feared It might cause the |
loss OF Maryland. Senator-elect Rayner |
came to New York in the company of Il. w. |
Rusk, chairman Of the Democratic city COM
mittee Of Baltimore. Gov. Warfeld Of |
came also, but not with the Others. |
Rayner and German met at the Fifth Ave- |
nue. Hotel, where Senator German lives, |
and the Ratchet was buried.
Another great harmony triumph was
he presence last night at Howard Taylor's |
Inner for Judge Parker at the Union Club |
If District Attorney Jerome. 1The best of |
ceiling prevailed" Is what was said by |
riends Of Judge Parker. 1t was not an
that Mr.. jerome will stump for the
ticket. Mr.. jerome probably won't take
he platform for the Parker managers
lnless he is allowed to indulge in his COM
non habit OF brltally frank talk. E. C.
3ene iict, friend Of Grover Cleveland was at
he dinner, too.
The call OF Lewis Cass Led yard Of the
aw firm of Carter, Ledyard d Milburn
rave rise to a report that Jud &c Parker

defeated. Mr.. Milburn is prominent
Constitution Club Der ocrat, and was re-
,ruited by the firm after his victorious de-
'ence OF Roland B. Molineux before the
court OF Appeals, Chief Judge Parker pre-
siding.
Another visit was that OF Congressman
Frank Shober. Congressman Shober is }
,ot only a statesman, but financier. and
has had relations with one Of the group
