4 FOX DUPLICATION CHOSEN.
At Democratic Congregational COnven-
 ton Held Last Night.

The democratic congressional conven- tion to select delegates to the district congressional convention was held last night in Turn hall and a solid delega- tion was chosen for ex-State Senator T. J. Fox for member of congress. Only a slight opposition was manifested to- ward MT. Fox's candidacy and those opposing claim that at least six of the delegates chosen are not in favor of MT. Fox
 Last nights convention was called to order by James B. Martin, chairman of the democratic town committee. A committee on credentials was chosen, consisting of the chairman of each ward delegation. Jacob Frolich was selected for temporary secretary and Charles H. Fowler was apponted tel Ter. The committee on credentials re- ported the correct list of delegates and this was accepted. Two names were then proposed for permanent chairman. hSs WCIS odlilSb ouCD1lldn anu Seth Langley. A vote by roll call was taken and Mir. Buchanan was elected by a vote of twenty-eight to twenty. Messrs. Langley and Fowler were ap- pointed committee to escort MT. Bu- chanan to the chair
 For secretary of the convention Dr. Austin E. Fuller and l.. W. Housel were nominated. Dr. Fuller, however, withdrew his name and MT. Housel was chosen unanimously.
 On motion of James E, Mills, it was voted that the delegates to represent the town of New Haven in the district congressional convention be selected by the delegations from the wards, viz, by naming one man from each ward to compose committee of fifteen which would select the other ten delegates. This is somewhat of a departure from the usual custom which has been to authorize the chairman of the conven- ton to appoint committee of five or seven to make up the list of delegates. The plan of having committee of fif- teen was favored by Charles H. Fow- Ter and Seth Langley, both of whom spoke in commendation thereof.
 The ward delegations then, on sug- gestion of MT. Fowler, then caNcused on the floor of the convention and each delegation selected it's member for the committee of fifteen. The committee was made up as follows and was ac- cepted by the conventions: Dr. Freder- ick Bellosa, Timothy J. Fox, John H. Courtney, Elihu M. Thomas, James Burns, Edward M. Martin, James N. Cannon, Edward Mcclure, Charles H. Fowler, Augustin Baker, James J. Buchanan William J. Skinner, Jacob Frolich and James E. Mills. The Eighth ward delegation announced that it could not agree upon a representa- tive of that ward upon the committee and the selection of the member from that ward was left with the committee. John Hugo was selected later by the committee.
 A recess was taken while the com- mittee retired to make LID a list of ten delegates to complete the delegation of twenty-five. After being out about ten minutes the committee returned and re- ported the following list of ten: Pat rick J. Tierney, F. H. Cosgrove, Charles T. Coyle, Henry C.. Bretzfelder, Mala- chi E. Collins, L. w. Housel, Thomas Molloy, w. H. H. Hewitt, Oliver A. Groark and Edwin Stevenson. The list was accepted by the convention and the complete delegation consisting of the fifteen members of the committee and these ten waa elected. It was voted to authorize the delegates to select their own alternates and that the name of Timohy ]. Fox would head the delega- tion.
 The committee appointed by the last congressional convention to select the time and place for the next one consists of James c. Roach of Wallingford, M. w. Lawton of Middletown, Peter Con- don of Naugatuck, Robert A. Hollinger of New Haven and William H. Burk of Merden. This committee will meet in few days to name the time and place for holding the convention. It is understood that majority of the com- mittee favor calling the convention to meet in New Haven and it is probable that 1t will meet here.
