 The foregoing is the full ticket nom mated Saturday night at the republi- can town convention held at 97 Crown street
 The convention was the largest ever one was in his place when the roll was called, There was considerable wrangling over seating a proxy for the 
 teenth ward, Chairman Ullman cop- tending that it would be a bad precA- dent to allow the gentleman to sit without having a regularly signed proxy from the delegate whose seat he wished to take. The rule governing the convention was in accord with that opinion,
 It was 8 o'clock when James H. Mac donald rapped the convention to ord- CT.
 Who will you have to preside said MT Macdonald, after announcing the purpose of the meeting,
 Edward Swift" responded John ". Lowe, as he assumed a semi-stand- ing posture. Isaac M U1lman an nonced Samuel J. Well without rising from the chair he occupied in the front row Then a delegate down the hall on the left, where the Tenth ward was seated, arose and with dignity befit- ting the occasion, named Charles W. Pickett. D. A. Blakeslese called for rising vote. But before the vote could be taken, Councilman Pickett with drew his name. Edwin s. Swift did the same and seconded the nomination of MT. Ul1man.
 MT. Ullman was elected unanimously. Charles R. Frisbie was chosen sec retary, after which the business of the convention began.
 The first and only serious difficulty during the whole evening occurred when F. D. Lord appeared as Edward J. Upson's proxy. Chairman Ullman made the ruling that Lord was not en- titled to a seat. Fred l.. Averill sug- gested that the rule be suspended in the case of the Fifteenth ward as the delegate had stated that the mistake had been made through ignorance.
 MT. Ullman did not think the prece- dent should be established and said so. A. Maxcy Hitler moved to suspend the rules. The chair would not enter tain the motion. Dennis A. Blake slee appealed from the decision of the chair on the opinion that Killers mo- tion was out of order. The secretary announced that AS had voted to sus- tain the chair and 40 in favor of the appeal. MT. Ullman declared the chair sustained. MT. Blakeslee doubt ed the count. He jumped to his feet, saying There were more votes cast to sustain the appeal than against it"
  desires another vote we will take it. In the meantime Mir. Blakeslee, I pre- surne the secretary accepts your apol- ogy, there certainly was a more gentle manly way of asking for a recount
 He then appointed Charles R. Fris- bic and E. F. Harmon tellers to take the vote, which resulted, In a vote of {, 5S to 50 to sustain the appeal and l1.u cepted as substitute for MT. Upson
 Only one delegate was absent IA out of 115 responding to the call
