DAVY HILL MAKES HIS BOW

the Election.
Candidate Parker is about to spring a
great surprise. a radical move bv the
Master Of Esopus is predicted. He has
been talking to the Democratic lead
ers. one by one. and has been doing this
so consistently that he mas at last come
down TO the point on the list where
David 3. HIS name stiu gIimmers in
the half-light of his pathetic self-ex-
campaign at the New York headquaCs
What the announcement is to be is
sun mystery. 1t may be spoken OF
as vet only IN whispers. But when II is
made pubnc-alack then will the light
nlngs flash and the heavens well nigh
Kan, unless all the present rumblings
from Mount EsOpus portend nothing
more terrifying to Chairman Cortelyou
than the 2roverbial mouse.
Planning a Sharp Trick?
The appearance Of David B. Hill al
Rosemont, following the conferences
which Candidate Parker has held with
nearly all the other leaders Of the cam
paign, has given rise TO the guess thai
some political trick may be in process OF
evolution. 1t may be only that the candi-
date is making up his mind to go TO New
York for the day. but whatever 1t IS
the accumulated wisdom of his political
adviSers-in-chief has been sought dill
At Rosemont denial IS made that any
thing of Importance to the campaign is
under discussion. Republicans may will
ingly admit this as probably true, judg
ing merely by the Intellectual results OF
past efforts. But this does not dispose
OF the view that some spectacular an
nouncement may be planned.
Notwithstanding the repeated denials
however, il is daily becoming more ap-
parent that serious dissatisfaction exists
regarding the campaign as at present
conducted. and II is rumOred that a
radical change in its character and
policy is demanded. This seems the most
likely explanation OF the judges recent

mont, and other campaign workers, and
