THE LABOR CONFERENCE.

 NOminotes . Ticket for State

It Becomes . State Convention and
 Nominates 2 Ticket for State
 OMcers.
 About seventy delegates from labor associations met at Talcott & Posts hall yesterday morning and were in session through the day and evening. There was much debate as to the advisability of nominating separate state ticket. The sitting was secret and the details of the discussion were closely kept. There was strong feeling that the best policy was to make no separate ticket but con- fine attention to the election of repre- sentatlves who would favor the measures advocated by the labor organizations. The contrary course, however, was adopted by majority vote, and the fol- lowing ticket was agreed on: For gov ernor, Herbert 0. Baker of Hartford; ]; lieutenant-governor, Dr w. F. Hinckley of Naugatuck; secretary of state, Robert Pyne of Hartford; treasurer.S. N. Camp of Meriden; comptroller, s. Seller of Bridgeport The state central commit tee was given power to fill vacancies. A platform was adopted and the conven- tion adjourned after long session. It is said that the action taken in nomina- ting separate ticket is opposed to the feeling not only of a considerable minor ity in the convention but to the majority of those outside Hartford Courant, Sept.

a Narrow Escape

A few minutes after O'Clock yester-
day afternoon Mrs CcyingtOn and Miss
Mabel Rhodes were being driven down
Nuuanu Avenue behind the Hon. Cecil
Browns double team OF gray horses. \
young native man had hold OF the reins.
Just before kukui street was reached,
one Of the horses stumbled rather badly,
causing part OF the harness to give way.
The animal on regaining its feet, got
frightened at the broken harness, which
was dangling round, and started off on
to Kukui street at full galop the other
horse following suit. The driver did all
he could to pull the animals up.
Directly after passing the residence
OF the Hon. w c. Parker, til. driver
managed TO pull the horses on one side,
and they came to a staldstilI close
to the fence in front of DIR. Emerson's
late residence. The two ladies immedi-
ately jumped out, and we are glad TO
state that they escaped without any in
jury whatever, but both were terribly
frightened The horse that fell had one
Of its knees rather badly scraped
