PIG0TT DELEGATES CHOSEN.
DEMOCRATIC STATE AND CONGRESS
 SIOyAL CONVENTIONS.

Both Were Held nt Turn Hall, But Were
 Not Entirely Harmoniaus--State Deiegn-
 tion Is Unpledged-The Machine Ran
 Both Conventions.
 For a few minutes affairs were de- cidedly warm at the convention Of town delegates to elect twenty-two del- egates to the democratic state conven- ton last evening. The town conven- ton was held at Turn hall. there being fifty-one of the eighty-five delegates present. It was only a few minutes after 7:30 o'clock when Chairman Wil- liam Shannon of the democratic town committee called the convention to or der. Attorney Charles II. Fowler im- mediately secured the floor and nom- mated General E. E. Bradley for chair man. Before this motion could be sec onded Alderman John E. Doughan nom- mated Martin Conlan, the nomination was seconded and Martin went in with 0 rush. For secretary Commissioner William Maley was elected without op- position.
 Up to this time everything had been smooth sailing, but when 1t came to ap- pointing committee to bring in the names of the twentytwo delegates the democratic ship ran against small rock. John P Carney moved that a committee of five be appointed to select the enames of the twenty-two delegates to the state convention, and that the committee be appointed by the chair man. This motion was amended by Attorney Fowler to the effect that the chairmen of the several ward delega- tions be appointed the committee. This amendment was seconded by Council man F. s. Bishop, but Chairman Con- Ian ignored the amendment and started to put the original motion.
 This action created considerable op- position, and when the chairman was called to order he claimed that the amendment had not been seconded. At torney Fowler appealed from the de- cision of the chair, and for few sec onds confusion reigned. Finally, how ever order was secured out of chaos by Alderman Doughan moving that a committee of five be appointed, and this motion prevailed by a large major ity, the vote being 30 to 19.
 Chairman Conlan then appointed the following the committee: James B. Me- Gam, E. G. Stoddard, James J. Ken nedy, John P. Carney and John E. Doughan. This committee retired to the seclusion of a rear room and soon returned with the following list of del egates to the state convention, which will be held at.the Hyperion theater fin this city September 25:
 N. G. Osborn, Henry c. White, Carl ton E. Hoadley, John P. Carney, George M. Grant, James E. McGann, Timothy J. Fox, Charles H. Fowler, Dr.. M. C.. O'Connor. Walter Leigh, John H. Moore, John Doughan, James N. States, Pat rick Moran, E. Shelton Cornell, Isaac Wolfe. John Gibbons, James J. Ken nedy, Dr. Rolin McNeil. s. A. York, jr., Roger E. Baldwin, Martin Conlan.
 After this list had been approved the convention adjourned at 8:20 o'clock HI lhe ieoA oA tHe LdH was d. small party of democratic politicians, who were manifestly displeased with the manner in which the affairs had been run, and loud in their denunciations of "the ring that ran both conventions" as they termed 1t.
 The delegates to the state convention are said to be divided in their choice for governor, but go to the convention un- pledged.
