Skillfully parryng all questions re.
lating TO his position on the platform
to be adopted and declining to give
his opinion whether he believed Mr.
Bryan would be nominated. Judge
Parker, said emphatieally that h,
would not Dc placed in a false light
He declared that whatever platform
is adopted by the convention and nc

dent tnat he would support the ticket
and do everything in his power to con-
| tribute TO its election. He said that
| a change of rule is needed and that
he believed that there Is general dis

court. He did not believe that Mr.
Bryan would insist upon going that far
nor that the convention would accept
such plank even if Mr.. Bryan shou'S
insist upon it. Until caucus has been
held by the New York delegation, II
cannot be said positively that Judge
Parker win be member OF the com
mitee on resolutions from the Empire
state. The friends of the judge expect
that he will be chosen, nevertheless,
and many of them have SO expressed
themselves to him. He said that so
cation had prepared any drafts OF an
nti-injunctlon plank which they
would be willing to favor. but that the
question undoubtedly would be con
sldered at the first meeting of the
delegation In formal caucus.
Deny the Hidden Knife.
Neither Judge Pailcer nor AIt
Sheehan have made any effort to dis
guise the fact that they would pre-
fer to have almost any democrat nom
mated for president than Mr.. Bryan
but both said that they had not come
to Denver with knives up their
sleeves" for the Nebraskan. Mr.
Sheehan said that he had come sew
eral days ahead of the convention ia
look over the ground and see what tho
chances for the nomination OF a
man who would satisfy conservative
eastern democrats, and that confer
ences probably would be held with
other prominent democrats who hold
similar views, II was intimated that II
il Is found that the nomination of Mr.
Bryan Is inevitable, that they will do
their utmost to have adopted a plat
form which would not ALLEVIATE east
ern, or what has been known for sew
eral years as cleveland democrats"
He and other eastern democrats dc
not favor the nomination of the Ne
braskan, nor the anti-injunction plank
which they think spells defeat for
the democratic ticket in the east. Judge
Parker's disclaimer of having beer
involved in the preparation of an anti
Bryan program, was In the form Of
a statement that he had not attended
any conferences of any members Of
the New York delegation and that he
had paid no attention 10 convention
arrangements thus far except to ar
range to come here after he had beer
elected as delegate at large.

accuracy of Mr.. Bryan's claims o
