Second VISIT:
OF JUDGE PARKER TO THE
METROPOLIS
He MET MANY LEADERS
Through Discussion of
Campaign Plans.

New York, Sept 22.-The second
visit of the Democratic presidential
to Gotham thus far closely
resembles the first of a week ago. Up
to date it has been entirely given over
to conferences with party leaders and
to talks Of less Importance with many
personal friends. ..,...
When a West Shore railroad ferry
boat landed him in the metropolis at 10
o'clock this morning, Judge Parker en-
tered a waiting carriage and was
driven direct to the Hoffman House,
where he will make his headquarters
during the present two days stay. A
steady stream of visitors passed to and
from David B. Hills famous suite Of
rooms upon the second floor all day.
Judge Parker occupied these apart
ments.
The first caller upon the candidate
was United States Senator Arthur Pue
German, whose acceptance OF the post
of counsel to the national campaign
committee week ago was received by
Judge Parker with deepest satisfac-
ton. Plans in general and in detail
were discussed for two hours, but no
inkling of their details was forthcom-
ing.
Executive Chairman William F.
Sheehan dropped in shortly after the
Mary land statesman departed. Mr..
Sheehan was fresh from the Saratoga
convention and came to tell the can
didate how the slate was finally COM
passed. State Chairman Cordmeyer,
State Senator p. II. McCarren, William
f. Rode and Hermann Ridder soon
joined the conversation. At its close
they said:
Judge Parker voiced his satisfaction
with the work of the convention,
commenting it's candidate and declar-
ing that the endorsement of the Re-
publican nominee, Werner, for the
court of appeals, while it involved a
great sacrifice, because a Democrat
much more fit might have been chosen,
| would nevertheless be largely Offset by
the votes gained to the party through
this indication of its desire for strict
| ly non-partisan judiciary"
Hermann Ridder remained after the
rest had gone, to acquaint the candi-
date with the work he had been doing
TO corral the German-AmeriCan vote in
six doubtful states-New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, Wiscon-
| sin and Illinois. he declared that the
Germans are surely hocking to Parker
and Davis. New York and Wisconsin
he considered Democratic certainties.
| When he came out he said that he had
changed his mind about the necessity
of Judge Parker's going on the stump
this fall and now believed that better
work can be accomplished if the nom
inee spends more time close to Nation
al headquarters. This statement may
have been inspired.
John B. Stanchfield, a defeated gu
bernatorial candidate, said he called
to tell the presidential nominee that
he cherished no resentment along
with his broken hope, and was going
upon the stump for both the state and
national tickets.
Governor Charles B. Aycock, of
North Carolina was another caller who
pledged his oratoTy to the cause. Rep
resentatives John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi, and Cowherd of Missouri,
chairman of the Democratic congress
sional campaign committee, consulted
with Judge Parker anent plans for
carrying the lower house. Mr. Cow
herd urged that more time and money
be put into this particular canvass. He
may get his wish
Judge Parker may go home tomor-
row night and he may remain until
Saturday. aa.-- -.. gruru. ..,
