New York hosts One of the signifi-
cant features of the talk that came
with the New York delegates was the
distinct tone of friendliness to Mr..
Bryan. Not a word was uttered against
the leading candidate, while several
OF the arrivals took occasion to plainly
say that they believed the state would
give its seventy-eight votes to the Me-
braskan.
Murphy Noncommittal
Mr.. Murphy would not commit HIM
self, declaring that he had no right to
speak for the delegation, which would
caucus on every important matter that
required the attention OF the delegates.
This important caucus will be held
Monday, the main body of Tammany
and New York delegates arriving late
on Sunday. The coming of the Tam
many special train is awaited with the
greatest interest for there promises
not to be dull moment after they are
here. Lewis Nixon is known as one of
the warmest personal friends Mr..
Bryan has in the party. Time and
again Mr.. Bryan has been a guest at
the Nixon house, located on Staten
island, and the relations between the
two are confidential in an extreme de-
gree. With such friend as Mr.. Nixon
close to the Tammany throne and with
no expressions in. favor Of any other
candidate. the Bryan supporters are
jubilant. Mr.. Sulzer said today the
New York delegation would vote solid
ly for Mr.. Bryan. The New York dele
cation is opposed to radical platform,
especially as to the anti-injunction
plank.
New York headquarters eventually
will be established In the Brown Pal
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.
important Conference
The caucus of the New York delega-
ton on Monday will be one of the
most important during the convention
period. A decision will then be reached
as to the candidates to be supported,
both for first and second places on
the ticket, the states position as to
platform will be lined and committee
assignments made. Some of the New
York delegation believe Mr.. Bryan's
wishes with regard to the vice presi-
dency should be consulted.
It was said that New York has been
given to understand that any man OF
vice presidential caliber who is clean
will be acceptable to Mr.. Bryan. New
York expected to play the leading part
in the vice presidential situation.
eve are not saying much just now"
said Mr.. Nixon today. I'VE had beau
tiful trip over the country and are arlx-
tous to see Denver. We are looking
forward to an enjoyable stay. New
York comes for harmony, and before
we do anything we are going to have a
thorough consultation with the delega-
tons on the ground. We want to try
to weld the party together and believe
we have a splendid opportunity. We
will decide, of course, at the caucus
on Monday; New York Is not looking
for trouble in any way"
Mr.. Coler gave out an interview dur
ing the day in which he declared that
Bryan not only would be nominated
but that he would carry New YORK
state and the country. AS to the vice
presidency he believed the wishes or
MT. Bryan should be considered.
att is only courteous and the proper
thing to do" he declared. Mr.. Sulzer Is
sanguine of Democratic success. 1T
was written on the slate that we are
going to win. This is our year ana
thew cannot beat us. AS to the presi-
dency, why, who else is there to vote
for but Mr. Bryan. For vice president
