After waiting an hour and a half for
Chairman Owen, the dozen delegates
present elected George W. Green as Chair
man.
The first motion was made by John
Palmer and it was that a committee be
appointed TO wait upon Charles III. Page
TO see II he would not reconsider his de-
clsion relative to the nomination given
him by the regular convention.
The motion was carried, but no conf
dencs was placed in the intimation
that Mr.. Page would change his mind
and no COMMITTEES could be found to serve,
hence the matter was dropped and nom
nations were called for.
Mr.. Hugh j. Carroll Of Pawtucket said
that the strongest man who could
be chosen as Second District
candidate was DIR. Eucius 4. G. Garvin
OF Cumberland and he accordingly
nominated him. The nomination
was seconded, there were no
counter nominations, and DR.. Garvin be-
came the unanimous choice OF the COM
mittee.
Upon motion OF Mr.. Carroll the fol-
lowing members were authorized 10 act

Smith, George ". Greene, Clark Potter,
Thomas Palmer, John A. Chase and John
Ii. Tucker. The meeting then adjourned.
Chairman Greene, Mr.. John T.. Conley,
and Mr.. Thomas J. Smith were appointed
