ESOPUS, July 22-Judge Parker was
Informed to-day by the Associated Press
of Senator German b determination not
TO accept tho craftsmanship OF the Ma
stional Committee. William r. Sheehan.i
who was he choice Of many Eastern
leaders, was with Judge Parker at tile
time. He was asked whether he would
now permit his nameSto go before the
meeting of the National Committee to
be held Mt the Hoffman louise on Tues
day next. and replied tlaughing ely, s.' Oh.
nobody wants mo for chairman"
Then seriously he discussed briefly his
own position, making t plain that he
has not allowed his name to be consid-
cred by party leaders. and that he stands
firm In his refusal to serve as manager
Of the campaign, From his attitude lie
no longer can be regarded as a&possi-i
.bility. August Belmont also has asserted
that he will not accept an active part In
the campai gn4management, and thus Mr..
Taggart is the only ono of those pit
forward for the Craftsmanship, who is
left In the race. Il Leaders In the party
who have visited Rosemount; have said
several times that the selection Of a
chairman would be the unhamperel
duty of the National Committee. Similar
iucterances have come from prominent
Democrats who attended the recent con-
fcrcnces in New York, and the possib!l-
lily remains that out of the uncertainty
may be brought some candidate, kereto.i
fore not mentioned. who could at unce
draw the support OF all factions.
At Rosemount no apprehension is felt
because of Senator Germans sdecllnatsnn.
He has attended the New York confer
sences and has taken a hearty interest
IN the campaign. Over and over again
he has said 3le would do anything N his
2powerAfor party success. and whoever Is
elected for chairman has nssurlnrnE Of

The work on the city streets is now
approaching completion, and the COM
ing winter will find them generally in
first class condition. A great deal
of work has been done upon them dur
ing the season. especially in the west
ern district. and the work done has
been of nature that will last for
some time. The city stone crushers
have been kept busy and the applica
ton of their product to the city's
highways has given most satisfactory
results. In the western district. the
work done by Street Commissioner
Trask has been about as follows:
Grove street has been macadamiZed
from its junction with state street to
the top of Rines hill. a distance Of
553K yards: Bridge street. above State
424 yards; Bridge hill. 275 yards; West

mercial streets, where work is now in
progress. will figure up about 200 yards.
In addition 81 the above, Western ave-
nue. has bc;se graveled from Sewall
street to the top of the hill: Sewall
street. from near the Children's Home
to the top Of the hill to the south:
State street. from the box factory
south almost across the hollow: Gage
street has been graveled. and about 20
rods on Capitol street: Green street.
from the top of the hill to Cushman
street, and Il new street. to be known
as johnson street, has been built
across to the new schoolhouse. Lin
OCcln street has been graded. and a por-
Zion of it graveled. State street has
been graveled on gas house hill, and
laurel hill has been graded and grav-
Yelled. A number of the streets in the
northern part of the city. including
Northern avenue, Washington and
| jefferson streets. have also been treat
ed in similar manner. A great deal
| of work has also been done on the side
walks. in the way of new walks and re-
pairs. and about $500 worth of private
| work has been done in addition to that
| done for the city. The work done bv
