SF1 NtN - The Democrats Naming a Strong Tick.t at New Haven-Mayor Kiidur Nomi- mated For Secretary of State.
 NEW HAVEN. Sept 25.-It was just 10 | o'clock when the doors to the Hyperion | were opened this morning, and the dele | gates to the democratic state convention | began to assemble. though most of them | had been on the streets at an early hour working for local candidates and har- monious slate making. In fact 1t might be said democracy was up all night, for the result of last nights caucuses by the different counties leftit uncertain as to the outcome of to-day's convention. What might Ire called reaction in favor of Cady seemed to have set in, and as a conse- quence a peaceful fight seemed booked be tween him and Judge Beardsley as to who should be placed at the head of the demo- cratic ticket. The pulling and hauling of the early morning. if such it can be called. was good natured. and could in no way be considered inharmonious. In fact the democratic managers concede that to win they must place the strongest men on the ticket.
 The Fairfield county delegates held a caucus this forenoon to take action on the proposed withdrawal of Judge Beardsley's name. W. H. Stevenson presided. Charles H. Canfeld Of Bridgeport who ex- pected to present. the name of Judge Beardsley to the convention. made a mo- tion to rescind the action endorsing Beardsley taken at the caucus last night Horace Leach of westport and Colonel Stevenson vigorously opposed the motion | and itwas lost.
 The convention was called to order at 10:45 by Chairman Clinton B. Davis of the state central committee. after which the reading of list of delegates. committee on organization. credentials and resolu- tions took place. William Huntington of East Hartford was made chairman of the | committee on resolutions.
 George NJ. Gum of Milford was made temporary chairman. He was escorted to the chair by Chairman Davls and John w. Coogan. He received great applause and made speech thanking the delegates for the honor.
 The report of the committee on creden- tials was accepted, and the committee on permanent organization announced the list of officers.
 MT Gum W. s made permanent chairman and James T. Cunningham of New Haven, secretary.
 Mir Williams of Stonington made a mo-
 ton that all resolutions be submitted to the committee without debate. A spirited
 discussion took place between Mir Will
 Hams and Mir Healey of Windsor Locks.
 The latter offered an amendment that the
 resolutions should be brought before the
 convention if requested. The resolution
 as amended was adopted.
