POLITICIANS FLOCK TO HIM Kcpubllcan Candidate Keaclics 'cv York, Meets Admirers and Dines J With Old Friends Confers J With Hooker Washington. NEW YORK. June 26. Secretary Taft has passed from pleasure to politics. The transition, inevitable in a way. was really not distasteful to him. During .the fun-making of commencement week , at Yale he had a pretty strenuous time. He really is greatly fatigued. The change came between New Haven and New York City. After bid ding farewell at New Haven to some of his oldest friends, he boarded the 3:51 1. M. New York. New Haven & Hart ford train for New York. The trip was quite uneventful. After reading for a .time the Secretary chatted incidentally Aith one or two acquaintances whom he met. He was unaccompanied ex cept by a newspaper friend. Kmbrac lnK the opportunity to obtain a little rest on the trip, he dropped to sleep in lils chair and was not awakened uottll he reached the -Grand Central Stajtlon. Thtre he was met by James T. "Williams. Jr., a member of his po litical staff in Washington, who ac companied him to a hotel. Greeted as Standard Bearer. As the Secretary left the station for 1 the street he was given a cordial 4 gree-ling by the hundreds of people . who had assembled to see him. Once - more: he was a Presidential candidate ' and not merely the "Bill" Taft of Yale. Fr flour days it has been "Bill, Bill, Bill." 'Tonight it once more is "Mr. ." Secretary." and he is being greened not - merely because of his personality, but as tho standard-bearer of a great party. The Secretary was driven directly from I the station to the Manhattan, where apartments for him had been reserved. ' After Hreeting a number of people who were in the hotel lobby and who de- sired to pay their respects to him. the ' Secretary went to his apartments. There 1 he recettved a few other friends while he 1 was preparing for dinner. Dinner With Few Friends. 5 Shortly after 7 o'clock, accompanied J by Jacob G. Schmidlapp. of Cincinnati, he left the hotel for 'the St. Regis, where j he dined a the guest of Mr. Schmidlapp. , It had bemn arranged that ex-Govennor Luke E. Wright, who is succeeding Mr. ' Taft as Secretary of War next Wedivs- day. and General Clarence F. Edwards, , Chief of tbe Bureau of Insular Affairs . of the War Department, should be guests 1 at the dinner, but they did not arrive in time. Those who attended the dinner besides Mr. Taft and Mr. . Schmidlapp 7 were A. Coffin, head of the General Elec trie Comparer, and Ralph Peters, presi " dent of the Long Island Railway Com- pany. Both .are old friends of Mr. Taft. . The dinner -was informal and without political signfflicance. Politicians Buzz Around Him. At its conclusion the party had an ' automobile rli about the city. It was . 10:20 o'clock w'hen the Secretary reached the hotel. Politicians were, buzzllng about .' the lobby like bes. The Secretary greeted all friends with cordiality, but begged to ; be excused from any extended conference tonight. Among those who paid their respects to him was John Hays Ham- mond. His convtu-sation with Mr. Taft was purely personal. Soon after the Secretary reached his ' apartments he httd a conference with . President Booker "t. Washington, of the ! Tuskegee Institute 'at Tuskegee, Ala. Mr. Washington came to New York i to attend a meetiog of the boaid of trustees of the institute. He asked . Mr. Taft to deliver at least two formal .addresses during the approaching cam paign, particularly .to the negroes of America. Nc definite conclusion was , reached, but it is nt unlikely that at r least one address of the kind indicated 1 may he delivered bit Mr. Taft before the close of the campaign. Confers AVitlw Wright. . Ex-Governor Luke IS. Wright arrived at the Manhattan Shortly after 8 o'clock, directly from his home at Memphis, Tenn. A fe w mlnufes after ' ward, General Edwards arrived from Washington, accompanied by Frank B.

He will go to Oyster Bay to morrow to have a conference with President Roosevelt, although he Is not directly connected with the party of Mr. Taft. Secretary of the Treas-.&ry George B. . Cortelyou was also a fetuest at the Manhattan tonight. He " was at the funeral at Princeton toe fay of ex President Cleveland. He Saw Mr. Taft late In the evening, but tyheir conver sation was purelypersonalj Visits Roosevelt Today. Tomorrow morning Mrt Taft with General Wright and General Edwards will take an early train for Oyster Bay to confer with the President The pur pose of the conference is to discuss questions now pending befoile the War Department and General Wright's new duties.

Clare against Bryan, for fear It might result in the convention giving McCarren the disputed seats in Brooklyn. But he has recently discovered that the old Brooklyn crowd are not popular with Bryan, and recently McCarren has un burdened himself of his views as to the Nebraskan. All of which convinces Mur phy that the Bryan men will not worry about "righting the wrong" done to the McCarren bunch. The action of Murphy in arraying his forces against Bryan at the last moment. Indicates that there will probably- be something doing at Denver after all. Mur phy's politics are ruled to a great extent by financial interests, the same Interests by the way, that dictated the selection of Alton B. Parker as delegate-at-large and he would hardly have made a move at this time had he not "heard from .Wall Street." Failing to defeat Bryan, It is almost a certainty that New York will present a candidate for Vice-President, and this will certainly be a man who meets with Mur phy's O. K. Bird Coler Enters Race. Bird Sim Coler, with his usual blatant modesty, has entered the race for the Vice-Presidential sweepstakes. He Is really In earnest about it. and has held numerous conferences with Murphy on the, to him. Important subject. Up to date his campaign Is purely personal, like that of John Hays Hammond at Chi cago the other day. Lewis Nixon Is another Democrat who may be struck by lightning at Denver. Nixon was leader of Tammany Hall for a few months, but gave up the Job. He is a graduate of Annapolis, a former naval constructor, and a great friend of Bryan. Murphy also has a high opinion of him.

The recent proceedings have dem onstrated that Hearst's cries of fraud are entirely without foundation, and stamped as correct the statement of "Big Tim" Sullivan that "all the work was done be fore the polls were closed."

"The majority of their fol lowers believe they have been fooled, and are done with Hearst and Hearst poli cies. You cannot keep them Interested in an .organization when it Is the laugh ing stock of the entire country." Murphy figures that Hearst will not he able to deliver 20.000 votes to his Presi dential candidate whoever he may be. and that will cut only a slight figure at the polls, according to his opinion. In fact Tammany is not half as much worried over the tactics of the Independence League as It is over the probable action of the "Home Rule Democracy." which was established immediately after Mur Portland Agents Ladies ' Home Journal Patterns Ribbons Worth 60c Yd. at 10c They are pillow ribbons with draw string selvage; plaids, striped effects and fancies of various sorts, widths run as high as 6 inches, and values up to 60c the yard; a bargain repeated for today, choice while they last, Saturday at the White Ev ening Specials On Sale From 6 to 9:30 P.

At present the factions are wide apart, but both sides privately express a hope that an agreement can be reached be fore the campaign is well under way. "With Johnson leading the ticket and a united Democracy behind him," said one Democratic enthusiast today, "we would sweep the Empire state by 100,000 majority. All we need is har mony and high-class candidates." General Sheridan once explained what Texas needed. And to many Re publicans the cases seem parallel. Texas and the New York Democracy both know what they need, hut there is mighty little chance of cither one being improved.
