YALE BOYS INTERFERE.
The Yale College boys delayed the big
open-air meeting addressed by Mr.. Bryan,
and nearly caused ii to break up i'm con-
fusion. As II was Mr. Bryan gave up
attempting TO speak. and retired in dis
gust The movement of the students was
presumably preconcerted. They were dis
tributed through the crowd and seemed
70 sing and yell at given signals.
When Mr. Bryan began his speech there
was a cheer and a chorus from the stu
dents Of "Rah, rah, rah; Yale! He tried
TO so on, but the yells made him stop
again. A song with the refrain Gold,
gold, gold" kept his words from being
heard. Finally the candidate sat down.
and Mr.. Sargent, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor; Alexander Troup,
chairman of the State Central Committee.
and Dr. Fuller. the Democratic candidate
for Congress in this district, made APP
peals for order Their efforts were sue
cessful. after Mr.. Bryan had been seated
ten minutes, and at 2:50 he resumed his
remarks. But the derisive yels broke
forth again. and fifteen minutes later the
candidate brought his remarks to close.
Mr. Bryan spoke from stand on the
south side Of Centre church, an ancient
house of worship facing '"The Green" 1t
was an ideal place for an open-air meet
ing, and the weather was perfect. The
crowd was enormous. People had been
coming into town all the morning on ex-
cursion trains. and when Mr. Bryan en-
tered "The Green" between 1900 and
Is 200 people were gathered there. over in
another part of the big shady square the
first division of the Connecticut naval
militia had assembled. with It's. guests,
Company X, Of Hartford, and several
thousands OF those who could not get
near enough to hear the candidate drifted
away toward the military contingent.
Their celebration had no connection with
the Bryan meeting.
THE YALE INTERRUPTION.
with Messrs. Troup, Bennett, and Sar-
gent, Mr.. Bryan was driven to 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
the candidate rose the cheering was in
terrupted by Kisses and yells from the Yale
men. The appeals from Mr.. Troup ana
the others had a temporary effect only.
All through his remarks the yeils con-
tinued. and Mr.. Bryan cut his speech
short. Altogether he did not speak more
than twenty minutes. As soon as he had
concluded A. s. Crandill, Of Norwich,
candidate for Lieutenant Governor. step
ped forward. and sharply criticised the
Yale men. He said:
