MCCLELLAN TO-71SlT PARKER,
is EXPECTED ON THE YACHT
SAPPHIRE THIS AFTERNOON.
His Visit Regarded as Having More Than
Ordinary Political signincance-1he
Conference May Result in His Re
coming the Candidate for Governor.

Esopus, July 2s.-Mayor Mcclellan Of
New York will como to Rosemount to-
morrow to meet the Presidential candidate
OF his party. He Is expected on John
Peirce's steam yacht, the Sapphire. which
has been used by Justice Morgan j. O'Brien
and John B. Mcdonald in their visits to
Judge Parker The time Of his arrival is
not known here, and 1t Is probable will be
in the late afternoon or the early evening.
Following 30 close on the heels Of the
visit Of Charles F. Murphy and Senator
Dowling, the visit OF Cor Mcclellan is re-
garded here as having more than ordinary
political significance. 1t has been under
stood for many days that in return for it's
good will Tammany would have the nam
ing of the candidate for Governor, and
this understanding was clinched at Leader
Murphy's visit yesterday. He then told
Judge Parker that he was not committed
to Mcclellan; the nomination OF the Mayor
would depend on political polity.
This some took to mean that If the Hon.
Elihu Root should continue to be considered
as the possible nominee Of the Republicans.
Mr. Murphy would not urge Mr.. McClellan's
nomination. Mr., Murphy is thought to
believe that Mr.. Mcclellan might defeat
even Mr. Root, but he Is supremely conf
dent that the young Mayor can gallop away
from any other candidate that the Republ-
cans can put in the field for the Governor
ship.
1t has been common talk at Judge
Parker looked favorably on the proposed
candidacy of Mcclellan for Governor.
remembering MoClellan's defeat Of Low
at time when Mcclellan was much less
strongly fortified than he is at present.
Now when the story comes from New
York that Mr.. Root will not be the Repubi-
can candidate, Mr.. Mcclellan comes to
Rosemount at the invitation of the nominee
for President If their conference is what
it is said to be, Tammany and the upstate
Democracy may soon get the word that
McClellan's face Is turned toward Albany
and that TO elect him Fourteenth street
must whoop it up for Parker and Davis, too.
The only callers at Rosemount to-day
were Representative Francis Burton Harri-
son and C. r. Miller Of the New York Times.
Judge Parker had a very quiet day. He
spent most of the time in the back library,
where he was supposed to be at work on
his speech and letter Of acceptance. Neither
of these is discussed, nor will Judge Parker
the Court OF Appeals.
The result OF his letters 10 his associates
is not known. If he does not resign before
Aug. Q, d. Cady Herrick, supposed to be
slated for the nomination for Chief Judge,
cannot be voted for at the coming election,
and In the event OF Judge Parker's resigna-
ton after that date Gov. Odell would have
the high place to fill. There still remains
the possibility Of Judge Parker not resign
ing at all unless he is elected President.
That Is what his associates, most of them
fond Of him, may advise.
Much Of the after-talk about yesterdays
powwow was devoted to a clinical analysis,
if not post mortem, OF David Bennett HA,
who surely was an uncomfortable figure on
the occasion Of his first visit to the cand-
date. Everywhere he looked he saw foe.
and the foe WAS being made TO feel at home.
1t was not a country convention with which
he had to deal. 1t appeared as though
William F. Sheehan had stayed away from
the gathering out Of mercy to o supplanted
man.
Mr.. Sheehan is also the subject OF talk
to-day, but among Democrats it is OF
complimentary nature. He is getting the
credit Of having framed up yesterdays
doings In order to Offset whatever popular
interest might have been aroused by the
notification ceremony at Sycamore Hill.
1t was not in the course Of ordinary political
affairs that Murphy and Hill should have
made their pilgrimage simultaneous with the
visit Of the national committee. 1t all
made hurrah that cut down the effect Of
the proceedings at Roosevelt's home Mr..
Sheehan overlooks no bets.
