MEMBERS OF TAMMANY EN-
THUSIAsTic AND BELIEVE
THEY SEE VICTORY.

Denver, July 3.!The vanguard of the
New York state delegation arrived late
today and materially quickened the in
terest of ante-convention gossip
Charles f. Murphy, leader Of Tammany
hail and head of the delegation, came
singing a song of peace and harMony.
declaring that New York state is anx-
ious to bring all Democrats together
and will take only such action as will
bring about that result. AS a first step
toward harmony Mr.. Murphy gave IT
out that the widely discussed Cleveland
resolutions prepared by Judge Alton b.
Parker represented only the personal
views of the writer and could not be
put forward as coming from the dele
cation.
Come on Different Roads.
Judge Parker arrived somewhat later
than Mr. Murphy, but travelled from
Chicago over a different road. The
former presidential candidate was ac-
companied by his law partner, William
F. Sheehan, one of the state leaders.
With Mr.. Murphy came Lewis Nixon.
| formerly leader of Tammany hall and
a power in the party councils of the
state; Martin w. Littleton, whose boom
for the vice presidency assumed import
ant proportions Immediately upon his
arrival; d. F. Cohalan and p. F. DON
ahue. members of the Inner circle"
of the Tammany organization.
Earlier in the day the arrival of Rep
resentative William Sulzer and of Bird
s. Coler of Brooklyn had signaled the
coming Of the New York hosts.
Friendly to Bryan.
One of the significant features of the
talk that came with the New York
delegates was the distinct tone OF
friendliness to Mr.. Bryan. Not word
was uttered against the leading candi-
date. while several of the arrivals took
occasion 10 plainly say that they be-
| lieyed the state would give its IS votes
TO the Nebraskan.
1 Mr. Murphy would not commit HIM
self one way or the other, declaring
that he had no right to speak for the
delegation. which would caucus on ev-
cry important matter that required the
attention of the delegates This inn
portant caucus will be held Monday
afternoon, the main body of Tammany
hall and New York state delegates ar
irving in the city late on Sunday. The
coming of the Tammany special train
is awaited with the greatest interest,
for there promises not TO be dull mo-
ment about the city after they are
here.
Nebraskan's Friends Jubilant.
Lewis Nixon, who is close to Mr. Muir
phy, is known as one of the warmest
personal friends of Mr.. Bryan. Time
and again Mr.. Bryan has been guest
at the Nixon house, located on Staten
island New York, and the relations
between the two are confidential in an
extreme degree With such friend as
Mr.. Nixon close to the Tammany throne
and with no expressed sentiment in the
delegation in favor of any other can
didate. the Bryan leaders here are jub-
liant over their talks with the New
York people.
Mr.. Coler and Mr.. SulZer declared to-
day their belief that the state delega-
ton would vote solidly for Mr.. Bryan
The spirit of frieldliness toward Mr.
Bryan in the New York delegation still
is tempered by an outspoken opposi-
ton to a radical platform. especially
with regard to the anti-injunctior
plank.
Will Lead Platform Fight.
New York will lead q fight on the
floor against the adoption of radical
declarations if it is not successful in
heading them off in the resolutions

ace hotel, but just now the delegates
are scattered at the Brown, the Shir-
ley and the Savoy, their reservations
not being available until Sunday. Mr.
Murphy is at the Shirley. where many
important conferences will be held dur.
ing his stay.
The caucus of the New York delega-
ton on Monday afternoon will be one
of the most interesting of the conven-
ton period. A decision then will be
reached in all probability as TO the can
didates to be supported both for first
and second places on the ticket. the
states position as to platform will be
outlined, and committee assignments
made.
Some of the New York delegates be-
