SENATOR HILL
WILL VISIT PARKER AT HIS
LEISURE
CONDUCT OF CAMPAIGN
Is Under Discussion at
RoSemont.

Esopus, N. Y, July 13.-Judge Par
ker today received a note from David
b. Hill at Albany in which the latter
says he is coming TO visit at Rosemont
but not Immediately. He will be in
no hurry to greet the nominee al
though he has not seen him since
some time before the national conyen-
ton. That MIR. Hill is not over DEM
onstrative there has never been a
doubt, but 1t is borne in upon Judge
Parler's friends that the fruition OF
the former senator's fondest hopes at
st. Louis ought to have evoked some
thing from him a little more cordial
than a FIVE word telegram to his can
didate before this.
William +. Sheehan, who went to
New York this morning, Is not ex-
pected back in the Parker circle until
the end of the week but his place will
be taken tomorrow by State Senator
Patrick Henry McCarren, of Kings
county Senator McCarren will arrive
at Esopus tomorrow at 2:06 p. m,
and a conference with the nominee
| will be held Immediately in order IN
the Brooklyn statesman may return
| to his home in the evening. The ma
tional Craftsmanship and the plan OF
campaign in Brooklyn will make uI
the best part of the conversation.
Judge Parker has received a long let
ter of congratulation from his run
ming mate, former Senator Davis, Of
West Virginia, but though the vice
presidential nominee has been invited
to come to Rosemont, he has set nc
date for the visit A suggestion that
notification be made simultaneously tC
both the presidential and vice presi
dental nominees, is under considera
tion and seems to have found favor
with Judge Parker II Senator Davis
agrees, it is quite likely that his com
ing to Rosemont will be timed so as
to coincide with the formal advent o.
the notification committee.
In spite of the draft upon his timt
made by the replies to the telegram!
of congratulation the judge has begur
the formulation of his letter of accept
ance, which will be the first genera
enunciation of his political views ant
plans since he was first considered 70
the nomination. Just as when h,
writes an important opinion, Judgt
Parker will first work out rougl
draft of the letter in his own hand
then spend several days in it's dicta
tion to his secretary. The letter will
be sent to the chairman of the motif
cation committee about a week afte
the formal visit of that body to Rose
mont 1t Is notable in this connection
that neither William ]. Bryan no
Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hal
have yet expressed to the Judge tn
amount Of satisfaction their informa
notification of his success in the con
vention gave them.

on board without help.
1--WE gave him washdown with
fresh water and a peg of rum to liven
him up, and then, after giving him
something to eat, sent him to bed He
seemed all right when he woke UP
