HEARST OUT OF IT.
Judge Parker Says He Can't Gel the
Democratic Nomination.

Utica, n. Y, July 2S.-F'ormer Judge
Alton B. Parker, in an interview today.
discussed the coming state election. He
declared that the Democratic party was
rich in men who could fill the office of
governor and mentioned. among others,
ex-Judge d. -Cady Herrick, the party's
nominee at the last gubernatorial cleo
ton; John B. Stanchfleld of Elrnyra
Mayor Adams of Buffalo; Francis Bur-
ton Harrison of New York city,; John
G. Milburn of Buffalo; William Church
Osborne Of Putnam county; District
Attorney Jerome of New York: Justice
William F. Gaynor; Martin W. Little
ton and Edward M. Grout of Brooklyn.
Mr.. Parker said that while with pos
slbly two exceptions none of these men
was candidate, yet he did not believe
that any of them would refuse to serve
If called upon.
But, said the interviewer. YOU have
not mentioned Mr. Hearst who is dis
cussed every day as a candidate"
The last utteranee of Mr.. Hearst
have read, said the Judge, was to the
effect that he intended to accent the
nomination of the independence league.
He stated in an interview in the Brook
lyn Eagle of June u, If I am nomina-
led by the Independence party. It will
be on a platform that expresses the
principles / believe and / will make
the campaign on that platform and no
other consideration viii enter into the
matter. There will be no deal or bar
gain made with the leaders Of any po-
litical machine but every one endorsing
the sentiments of the Independence par
ty will be invited to support its candi-
dates That language is unambiguous,
and announces clearly his intention to
be candidate on the platform only OF
the independence league
But that was June r.. said the in
terviewer, and since then men who
were at work during the year building
up the Independence league have been
openly striving for the control of the
Democratic caucuses in order to secure
delegates to the Democratic convention
favorable to Mr.. Hearst and some such
delegates have been elected. 1t is as
serted in many quarters and, indeed,
believed that the Independence league
was organized to compel the Democratic
party to accept MI. Hearst as it's nom
inee.''
While I knew Mr. Parker replied.
that such assertions are constantly
made and some delegates to the Demo-
cratic convention favorable to Mr.
Hearst have been chosen. it would seem
as if all this should be credited to over
jealous friends, for certainly Mr.. Hearst
is too shreWd a man to believe it pos
sible that Democratic convention will
ever be made up of delegates so abso-
lutely pusillanimous as to surrender to
one demanding that the party deliver
up TO him the honor and power he
cOVetS or suffer defeat''

to whom practically the entire estate
was beaueathed. declare with seeming
authority that the millions will be dis
tributed in aid of worthy objects and
in accordance with an understanding
reached by the hnancier and his wife
long ago.
AS Mr. Sage's life was given up to
the accumulation OF riches, so the
years of Mrs. Sage have been devoted
to q study of philanthropy and what
he gathered. she is expected to scatter
with lavish hand.
Unless the estate should be tied up
by a contest, which now appears i'm
probable. Mrs. Sage will, it is said. be-
gin at once to make long contemplated
gifts. Mrs. Sage would not make any
statement herself following the pro-
bate of the will yesterday as to what

Mr.. Sage knew his wife had made
a study of philanthropy and that she

He knew that in leaving it to her she

which the will may have given, the
fortune has been left to charity.
