ST LOUIS: NOMINATION Careful Canvass Shows vase Showa Friends of New York Candidate Will Have More Than 800 of 1,000 Delegates to Dem- ocratic National Convention, A careful canvass of the United States made with a view of ascer- taining the exact Parker sentiment shows that Judge Parker’s friends will ‘ control more than 800 of the 1,000 delegates to the Democratic National Convention. These figures were obtained from the various National Committee- men and party leaders throughout the country, and reflect the views of the men who will have to do with the making up of the convention which will nominate the Democratic candidate. Not since the renomination of Mr. Cleveland was assured before the convention met in 1888 has any candidate for the Democratic nomination been assured of such unanimous support in a convention, ‘A point about which there has been some controversy is that of in- struction of delegates by the New York State Convention. Friends Control State Convention. Judge Parker's friends control the State Convention, and his managers Bay the delegates will be instructed and the unit rule adopted. The conclusion arrived at because of the rem?’ * Justice Truax, that the friends of Judge Parker would be content to ~~: merely an indorse- ment of their candidate, is admitted to-day to be an orror. Judge Truax @ays a wrong interpretation was placed upon his » ro irks, and he had no authority to speak officlally for the friends of Judge Parker. “pee battled so hard.

Murphy, the leader of Tammany Hall, will return to the city to-day from Atlantic City and will meet a representative of Judge Parker to confer with him in regard to the coming State Convention. Mr. Murphy Judge Parker's friends, within and; without the State, insist that the delegates from New York be instructed. In Atlantic City yesterday Mr. Murphy admitted there was no longer any doubt as to Judge Parker’s friends controlling the State Convention. Mr. Murphy has been in consultation with politicians from Pennsylvania is against instructing the delegates. and says the delegation from that State will be sent to linstructions.

He has been told that he was injuring the chances of Judge Parker, and it has been intimated to him that he was working in the interests of some one under cover. Those who have to do with Murphy and who have the final trimming of ‘him and his delegates in the State Convention are disposed, {n the interest \of Judge Parker, to go slow and treat with him, but his obstinate attitude is causing pressure from the outside to be brought, and prominent poli- ticlans are counselling that he be ignored They say he is bent only on licking McCarren. It is pointed out that his bitterness toward McCarren is due to the fact that the refusal of McCarron to accept him as leader stiffened the backbone of every weak-kneed leader up the State and enabled them to make a fight with confidence for Parker.
