WHERE WE'RE THE NINE2
The Probate Convention Seated Only
Twelve of the Twenty-One Members
OF the New Haven Delegation-Judge
Robertson Renominated-AndT Then
tho Banquet.
The democratic probate convention met
yesterday morning at 11:15 in Turn hail.
A was expected, Judge A. Heaton Rob
but the point of interest for democrats, at
least, oentered in the refueal of the oon-
vention to admit the full delegation from
this city of twenty-one members. The
probate convention is the only democratic
convention that does not admit this num-
Der from New Haven. At the town con-
vention Major Callahan made the point
that the town was entitled to but twelve,
but Chairman Shannon of the town COM
mittes disputed it, and twenty-one dele
gates were named. The twelve New Ha-
ven delegates admitted were W. A.Wright,
]. F. Shay. N. Dillon, J. Ward, A. Epson,
E. Kenke, D. Callahan, J. G. Gallagher,
James Caffrey, G. Il. Fowler, 7. F. Gala
han and O. A. Groark. The excluded del
egates were, by courtesy, allowed to re-
main in the hall. The reason the nine
were excluded given was that twelve
was the proper number in view of the fact
that the oIher towns in this probate dis
trict had elected delegates on the old basis
of representation. New Haven was, there
Z fore, entitled only to what it has had here
tofore, namely, twelve delegates.
