ing of Democratic editors, which is Ito
be held in New York next week The

con, returning to New York in the aft
ernoon. l.:ss
There was considerable surprise at
Rosemoant this evening when COR
rection was made Of a statement issued
in the morning that Judge, and Mrs.
Parker had completed their arrange
ments for the St.rLouis trip. 1t is now
announced that Judge Parker has
changed his mind and in all probability
will not leave Rosemount again during.

good reasons were presented to Judge

that the abandonment of the pro-

intended, Judge Parker will make no
speeches during the campaign.
w. E. Ryan, of the Devery associa-
tion in New York, and Capt. Campbell
retired sea captain of New York,
called at Rosemount today, ostensibly
to, ask Judge Parker to make clear in
his letter Of acceptance the plank in
the Democratic platform in relation to
marine commerce. Capt Campbell
said that ship owners are not in favor
of a subsidy bill, but they do want
protection against unfair competition
with foreign bottoms. After talking
shipping they brought UP the subject
of the gubernatorial nomination for New
York state and suggested that Con-
gressman William 'Sulzer is best equip
ped to save the party from the inroads
made by the popularity Of Thomas E.
Watson, the Populist candidate for
president.

of Arkansas, who was chairman of the
national committee during the past
eight years. will be connected with the
committee in an advisory capacity. He

official at headquarters today that the

the gold Democrats or those who had
not supported the presidential nominee
in two elections.
