No Longer "Big Bill Taft" of

Political Cares.
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.
Kellogg, Republican National commit
teeman for Minnesota aod special coun
sel of the United Statics in the pro
ceedings against the Stamdard Oil Com
pany. 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. Politics will also .be discussed,
particularly the selection oft a chair
man of the National committee.
Mr. Taft intends to conclude his talk
with Mr. Roosevelt tomorror In time
to enable him to return to ' Washing
ton tomorrow night.

TAMMANY N0TF0R BRYAN
(Continued From First Page.)
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 Hearst men are sore and disgust
ed," is the report. The result of the re
count has been a sad disappointment to
them, and has destroyed most of their in
fluence. "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

Democracy members into line. But he
is willing to make concessions, and al
ready overtures are being considered.
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.
