Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, July 22.-The fact
may be of significance that the sugges-
ton that Senator German be invited
to the home of Judge Parker was first
made by William F. Sheehan, who en-
joys the confidence of Judge Parker to
a greater degree than any othci Dem
ocratic politician.
Mr.. Sheehan was at one time last
week under the impression that Sen
ator German would promptly indicate
his willingness to accept the chairman
ship of the committee as soon as the
views of the leaders on the subject
were known. While under that i'm
preston he suggested to Judge Par
ker the invitation which the Mary
lander received and which he will ac-
cept after the meeting of the national
committee here next week
Unless Senator German wishes to
displease ex-senator Davis as well as
Judge Parker, he will next week ac-=
cept the Craftsmanship of an advisory
committee of the national committee.
Under these circumsf ances it is prac-
tically certain that Senator German
will accept

established headquarters today in the
Hoffman house. Said he tonight. II
am for any Democrat for chairman
that Judge Parker wants. That is the
position 1 have taken from the first
and it is the position I'll hold next
Tuesday, when the committee meets
OF course it is duty and pleasure of
every Democrat to defer to the wishes
OF the candidate. If Judge Parker sig
miles his wish that any man be elect
ed, he will be elected without opposi-
ton from any members of the COM
mlttee. If he does not express a pref
erence, the committee will go ahead
and organize according to its rights
Whatever nominal position is occu-
pied by Senator German during the
campaign. he will be active in the
cause and will closely look after the
interests of the party as the personal
spokesman and representative of Mr..
Davis, to whom he is as close as
brother

cannot be induced to alter his deter
rnination not to undertake the cares of
managing the campaign, and judge
Parker was informed by the Assoei-
ated Press of the dispatch from Wash
lngton that he had reiterated his decIa
ration that some younger man should
be chosen.
; William F. Sheehan, who was the
choice of many Eastern leaders, was
with Judge Parker at the time. He
was asked whether he would now per-
NIT his name to go before the meet
ing Of the national committee, to be
held at the Hoffman house in New
York on Tuesday next, and replied
1aughingly, "Oh, nobody wants me for
chairman
Then seriously he discussed briefly
his own position, making it plain that
he has not allowed his name to be con-
sidered by party leaders, and that he
stands firm in his refusal to serve as
manager of the campaign. From his
attitude he no longer can be regarded
as possibility.
