TRIP MAKES ENEMIES.
Dir. Parker'8 East Side Excursion
Causes HeartburmingS.
THE REPULsE.

Ex-Judge Parker's trip TO Grand-st. night be-
fore last. when he was the guest of the Sulli-
vans and Porges and Harburgers, has covered
the national committee with modification and
created jealouses and heartburnings the East
Side among Yiddsh theatrical and restaurant
people slighted by Mr. Parker.
1t was recalled yesterday that Mr. Parker had
refused to act on a suggestion that he attend
reception TO be arranged IN his honor in Madi-
son Square Garden, and he refused TO attend the
Eerrick reception at the Reform Club, on the
ground that it hardly dignihed for Presi-
Dental candidate to be running to so many
affairs. For the same reason he announced
some time ago that he would follow the exam
pie set by William Mckinley in 1896. and stay
AT home, where he would receive delegations.
There was not enough OF the thrill in this
stay home kind Of campaign work TO suit
the SuIlivans, and "Florrie" Sullivan arranged
the demonstration at the Yiddish theatre
Monday night in order TO boom district politics
on the Fast Side and check as far as possible the
stampede of the East Side Jews TO Roosevelt.
Mr. Parker was assured before ne went TO the
Grand Street Theatre that there was no politics
in the visit and that there would be no speaking
until he left the hall The letter but not the
spirit of the promise was kept. The Sullivans
believe in what they sometimes lightly call con"
games. and IT was con" game that
worked the Judge Monday night when he
and District Attorney Jerome were the centre
Iieces OF Tammany meeting where Florrie
Sullivan. Max J. Porges and wife and other
| East Side politicians of minor degree were in
need Of help.
The Republican election district captains, who
know several political tricks themselves. used
the Parker visit to the Grand Street Theatre and
| to the Lorber restaurant with telling effect
/ against the Suvans. They visited all the other
restaurants in Grand-st. and the other nearby
Yiddish theatres and asked the various pro-
| prietors what they got out Of the judges visit.
Where do you come in?" asked the trouble
makers. THE Sullivans have given those fell
| lows in Grand-st. monopoly Of Judge
! Parker If Parker had been on the level he
would have eaten fish at place, soup at am
! other, roast beef at another and bought glass
! Of beer or a cigar at another, and 50 helped you
all along Now your competitor will get all the
! business. The thing for you to do is to soak
Parker and Herrick Election Day That's
the only way to bust the MONOPOLY
The result of Mondays work that there
/ were fewer Democrats around Grand-st. yester-
! day The tide toward Roosevelt was stronger
! than ever. 1t begins to look now If Joe"

II was announced last night at the Occidental
! Hotel Broome-st and the Bowery that Mr.
! Parker would tonight accompany Chuck"
Conuors 70 the Chinest theatre in Doyers-st.. and
that later he would visit other amusement place.
! on the lower East Side.
At the Hotel Seville last night it said that
Judge Parker would not make any more trips to
| the lower East Side.
The prevailing opinion among Democrats
seemed TO be that the Democratic candidate for
President had made a blunder in lending his
services TO a Sullivan political scheme. that
I. looked particularly bad. he had more ,aan
once given his friends to understand that he
would stand on his dignity a Court OF APP
peaIs judge. The net result of the days work
by the Judge on Monday seemed to be that the
Parker cause had been greatly "cheaDened" in
the eyes of honest men.
Still. there were some who thought his 'slum-
ming" tour, as it was styled, a brilliant
idea Delaney Nicoll vice chairman OF the
committee said that the plans being per-
fected for more appearances of the Judge under
conditions similar 70 that at the Grand Street
Theatre on Monday night. Mr.. Nicoll was asked
what he thought OF the Judges appearance at
the Yiddish theatre. and said: ! think It's all
asked II any more such plans are under way,
he replied: Yes. ! believe such plans are being
contemplated. They are not complete IN details
yet and are therefore not ready Tor announce
ment." =. , =.
