NEW WORKERS DECLINE
TO COMMIT THEMSELVES


Denver July 5,-New York state.
reluctant to give up its attitude of in
terested onlooker, will, at its caucus
tomorrow afternoon, pass over with
out action practically all of the po-
litical points at issue, including dec
larations as to the states attitude on
the presidency and vice presidency.
All of these matters, including the
states attitude on the platform, will
be left to the committee which will
be friendly to Mr. Murphy the leader
of Tammany hall. Even the selection
of national committeeman will be left
in abeyance, and thus the caucus of
tomorrow, which promised to be filled
with interest and vitality is robbed OF
all its capacity,
Mr.. Murphy Is to be elected chair
man of the delegation. That much
seems certain, and will be the first
business of the caucus. Judge Alton
b. Parker is to be appointed as the
states representative on the resolu-
tions committee. Only such other
committee appointments will be made
as are necessary to comply with the
rules of the convention as to tempo
rafy organization
II was reported today that Norman
E. Mack would succeed himself as
member of the national committee
from New York. There was consid-
erable talk several days ago that
William ]. Conners, of Buffalo, would
be chosen as Mr. Mack's successor
but this seemingly has all been cast
aside. The national craftsmanship will
be left open. however, until some fu.
ture time
Mr. Murphy had a number of con
ferences today with arriving delegate,
from all parts of the country and mos
of them having to do with the posi-.
tion New York states is to take re.
garding certain features of the plat.
form. Former Governor Charles S
Thomas, of Colorado. called to say
that II strong anti-injunctlon planl
Is adopted II will wipe the democrati,
party off the face Of the map In thli
state. Members of the contestlnl
delegations from Idaho also called OF
Mr. Murphy, asking for support. Non
eommittal, as always. Mr.. Murph,
said he could not state the position o
the delegation at this time as to an,
important matter: that series o
caucuscs might be held during tn,
convention period and that in thes
gatherings alone could the decision o
the delegation be made.
New York's position as TO the vie
presidency remains the same as out
lined In the Associated Press dis
patches last night The boom Of Judg
William j. Gaynor of Brooklyn, con
ltinued to die away to practically moth
Ing, and there was distinct confirma
ton of the belief that New York Is t
offer no candidate at all.
New York said one OF the lead
ers OF the delegation today, will no
have a vice presidential candidate un
