Already a number of petitions asking him to re- consider his determina;i.,l are in cii- culation and are being numernusly signed by we'll known citizens. irrer spective of politics. who believe that MT. Sperry is the proper man to repre- sent this district in the Fifty-fourth congress.
 l The republicans of the city, both young and old. are working with might and main In order to get,him to change his mind and consent to be a candidate, At the republican. convention last eyen- | ing number of the petitions were cir 1 culated among the delegates and l other republicans who were present and were extensively signed. To-day the petitions will be kept in circulation and 1t Is expected that by this evening they will contain the signatures of sev- eral thousand citizens. Tonight there will be a meeting at Veru hall to dis cuss the situation, and 1t Is hoped that by the time this meeting is held, MT.

 When it was announced yesterday that Mr. Sperry would not be candi- date the name of ex-Senator James Graham of West Haven was brought forward as possible candidate. MT. Graham when seen by reporter last evening stated emphatically that he had no thought of running for congress for this district. When asked if he would accept the nomination, if ten dered him, he replied without hesita- tion that he would not and added: There Is no political bee buzzing in my bonnet I am out of politics for good. as my business cares are all that can attend to. believe MT. Sperry is one of the ablest men that could be elected to represent this district, am sorry to learn that he has declined to become a candidate and hope he may be induced to reconsider his determina- tion." ...t
