While her Hearst and Bryan met at a dinner given by Nathan Straus, of New York, who is quoted ss author ity for the statement that in the fu ture Hearst and Bryan will work in perfect accord and amity. Hearst and Bryan also met, it is said, at a luncheon given by Gen. Nel son A. Miles and made plain the res toration of friendly relations between them. "Colonel Bryand and Mr. Heamt," said Mr. Straus, "will in the future work together. They have agreed to forget their differences and present a united front to the country. I was extremely glad to hear them talking along the same lines and working to gether." Mr. Hearst, before leaving here yesterday, paid a tribute to Champ ( lark and expressed his belief in the brightness of Democratic prospects. "the present promising conditions in the Democratic party, he said. "have been brought about, by the fact that the Democratic party trader the leadership of Champ Clark has had the courage to be progressive and the intelligence to be sound in its Democracy.." This sentiment, coming from Mr. Hearst, started the suggestion that one of the things upon which he and Col onel Bryan are in accord is the Pres idential nomination of Mr. Clark." It ig no secret that Bryan looks with fa vor upon Clark V aspirations in this direction and - Hearst's statement would indicate ihat he did too. Royster Returns to His Wife.
