PEABODY MAY BE
 MADE TREASURER Judge Parker Spends Day at
 Work on Speech MAY YET GO TO ST. LOUIS. Considered Not Improbable That He May Accept MT. Maek's Invitation
 to Be Present on New
 York Day.
MAY YET GO TO ST. LOUIS

Esopus N Y, August "A rainy day and a practically complete cessation in the procession of visitors gave Judge' Parker an unbroken morning in which to work on his speech of acceptance to be delivered upon the occasion of his formal notification on Wednesday of next week.
 The rumor that George Foster Peabody of Brooklyn would be treasurer of the national committee was the only political topic attracting much attention here to- day. Judge Parker refused to comment in any way upon the report, but 1t Is be- lieved to be well founded and unless some important condition in the situation Is made necessary in the later develop- ments the selection of MT. Peabody as treasurer will be announced within twen- ty-four hours.
 It Is known during the three hours conference betwd,n Judge Parker and MT. Peabo gy last Iiaturday possibly every in.portau. z eect U lie democratic sftua- ton was discussed.
 Important political announcements in- cluding the personnel of the national exec utive committee are looked for today or tomorrow from Indianapolis, where Chair man Taggart remains to attend the In- diana democratic convention. It Is said here that he Is almost in constant com munication with Judge Parker. It Is still believed here that MT. Sheehan will be chairman of the executive committee and the finance committee will be amalga- mated herewith. MT. Sheehan remains in New York city, where it is understood he is combining his legal business with a close cooperation in the affairs of the national committee. including the selec- tion of new eastern headquarters.
 Refuse to Confirm Report.
 Judge Parker refused today to confirm the report that he had accepted the fn- vitation of Norman E. Mack, the national committeeman from Buffalo, to be, with Mrs. Parker, his guest at the St. Louis exposition on New York state cay. Octo- Der 24 There is reason. however, to be- lieve that he might make such a trip as this would not violate the principle upon which he has based his determination not to make any speechmaking tour if the occasion Is to be political one. Gov ernor Odell is expected to make an ad- dress upon that date and persons promi- nent in the state regardless of party af- filiations will participate in the cere- monies
 The Notification Ceremony. | It Is expected that the notification cere- mony !, will take place about D. m. Wednesday of next week. The notifica- tion committee will probably come to Rosemount on a chartered steamer. rather than by special train, though arrange ments to that end are not yet complete It Is not yet settled how large a com pany will be present at the ceremonies, or who will be invited.
 No visitors of political importance are looked for at Rosemount within a day or two. though there are standing invi- tations to democrats of note in various parts of the country who may come here any day. Among these are National Con- mitteeman Clayton of Alabama Mayor Patrick A. Collins of Boston, Mayor Car ter H. Harrison of Chicago, Representa- tive w. R. Hearst, Richard Olney of Massachusetts. Senator Arthur P. Cor man, Senator Joseph w. Bailey, Judge George Gray of Delaware. Senator's Dan iel and Martin of Virginia. and many others of national reputation.
