To the politicians gathered here Muir
phys advent was no matter Of curiosity
so far as looking at him was concerned.
but each and every manager of a pro-
spectivc Democratic Presidential Candi-
date wanted to hear what Murphy had
10 say So they elbowcd around with
the merely curious at the doorway of
the Emerson dining room, watching and
waiting while Murphy and his half dozen
intimates took dinner. Then the Tam
many boss came out. and almost be-
fore any one could ask a question he
smilinely got ria Of his copyrighted
phrase:
Not a word"
1t was the same thing when the Bryan
message was put up to the boss. and the
same thing when mention was made Of
the prospective fight on the temporary

Alton B. Parker, and the only thing that
stirred him 10 any extra words was n

Murphy Clark Alliance Doubted.
The story OF the Murphy alliance with
the Clark crowd was not given much
credence here anyway, because those
who advanced II were Immediately met
with the statement that Murphy would
never again ally himself In any way
with Hearst after the way in which the
newspaper owner had lashed him IN his
newspapers So far as could be ascer-
tained, the story OF that alliance started
with the Clark boomers themselves, al
though they were careful TO hide their
tracks but the fact that their cause
has been at a standstill, II not receding.
since they opened headquarters In the
convention city was considered the rea-
son for their attempt TO bolster up their
standing with the rumors Of having cor
rallied New York's ninety votes.
Next 70 the arrival Of Murphy. who Is
admitted 10 be the real power behind
the old lire reactionary crowd here. the
gathering delegates were Interested in
! the Bryan messages sent 20 Presidential
candidates. and more particularly IN the
announcement that the peerless loser
was leaving Chicago and would be here
| tomorrow.
The mere report of Bryan's prosrec-
! tive arrival has buoyed up the Pro-
gressives. though there Is an undercur-
rent Of fear that he Will seize upon the
| Parker Craftsmanship question as a
means to force himself out in front Of
the other radical candidates for the nom
nation However most Of the Wilson
| and Clark men, at least those on the
national committee, who will have the
first engagement with the question on
| Monday, believe that Bryans arrival
will at least gather them together 50
that they can put up united front
against Parker and the skilful old line
political bosses who are urging his nom
! ination for the temporary chairmanship.
Radicals May Unite on Kern.
Coincident with the announcement of
| Bryan's coming the report began TO cir
culate to-day that the radicals would
| unite on Senator Kern. Of Indiana, AS
candidate to put up against Judge
Parker. In the subcommittee Of the
national committee, which voted on the
| Parker matter yesterday and stood eight
| for Parker solid. AS against eight OPP
posed TO Parker, but scattered, Kern got
| one vote. II was pretty well understood.
however. among the radicals on the sub
| committee that II would be- best not to
show their hand plainly in that prclm-
ioary battle. where the best they could
| do was TO tie Parker's eight.
Apart from the Murphy arrival and
the lining up Of the radicals against
Parker the only noticeable feature Of
,ho day was sort Of undefnable
x,Lorjrp of the talk OF GaynOr as "A
