New Haven from Bridgeport. At tho
station big crowd had gathered. and
considerable difficulty was experienced
Ia getting the candidate through the
throng.
The Yale College boys delayed the big
open-air meeting addressed by NJ. Bryan
and nearly caused II to break UP In con-
fusion. AS Il was. Mr.. Bryan gave Up
attempting 10 speak and retired In dis
gust. The movement of the students
was presumably pcconlerted. They
were distributed through the crowd, and
seemed to sing and yell at given signals.
When Mr.. Bryan began his speech
there was a cheer and chorus from
the students OF "Rah. Rah. Rah. Yalci'
He tried TO go on. but the yells made
him stop again. A song with the re-
frain, Gold, gold. goldl' kept HIS words
from being heard. Finally the candi-
date sat down. and Mr.. Sargent. Drmo-
cratic candidate for Governor: Alex.
TrouD. chairman OF the state Central
Committee. and Or. Fuller the Dem
ocratlc candidate for Congress in this
district, made appeals for order. Their
efforts were successful after Mr.. Bryan
had been seated ten minutes. and at
2:50 he resumed his remarks.
But the derisive yfls broke forth again
ana fifteen minutes later tho candidate
brought his remarks TO a close.
A LARGE CROWD.
Bryan spoke from a stand on the south
side of Centre church. an ancient house
OF worship. facing The Green" II was
an ideal place for an open-alr meeting,
and the weather was perfect. The crowd
was enormous. People had been coming
into town all the morning on excursion
trains. and when Mr.. Bryan entered The
Green between 1900 and l5CCO people
Were gathered there.

cut N1;al Militia bad assembled. with
Us guests, Company Is OF Hartford. and
several thousands Of those who could not
get near enough 10 hear the candidate
criftei away toward the military contin-
gent Their celebration had no connec-
ton with tho Bryan meeting.

gent. Mr.. Bryan was driven 10 the square
from the New Haven House. He was
cordially received by the throng Mr..
Bennett. who is chairman OF the Town
Committee presented Mr.. Bryan and as

tenupted by Kisses and yells from tho
Yale men. The appeals from Mr.. Troup

only. All through hs remarks the yells
continued. and Mr. Bryan cut his speech
short Altogether he dil not speak more
than twenty minutes.
SHARP CRITICISM.
As soon as he concluded 4. $. Crandau.
ot Norwich. candidate for Lieutenant
Governor stepped forward and sharply
criticised the Yale men. He said:
In this city. this city Of business men.
this city OF wOrkingmon, / ask you, In
tho name OF God and man, 10 take 10
your hearts the questions that have been
put so well bsfore you to-day by William
Jennings Bryan.
II ask you 10 vote I'm November IN ac-
oordance with them.
As 10 the young men who have made
10 impossible for him TO speak to-day.
ask YOU not 10 believe that they repre-
sent Yale any more than Mckinley will
represent MS in November.
They have been blowing off their
wind as he Is blowing off his wind. Yale
has sent out into the world men address
ing Mr.. Bryan who have, ike you, been
an hong 10 their university. and TO their
country inCongrcss. in business. and in
every walk OF lfs."
He proposed three cheers for Mr. Bryan.
and they were given. mingled with Kisses
from tho Yale contingent.
