ITON HELD LAST NIGHT.
The Delegates Elected Were Hon. Charles
$. Mersiclk, Judge John II. Studley,
Howard G. Webb and Frank G. Bush
Primary Question Brought Up.

The republican city convention to
elect delegates to the state convention
was held in Republican hall on Temple
street last night and passed off very
quietly and quickly, lasting not more
than fifteen minutes. The convention
was called to order by Chairman Theo-
dure H. Macdonald of the town commit
tee Sherwood S. Thompson was elected
chairman unanimously, as were all the
elections. Jacob B. UlIman was elected
secretary.
For first delegate to the state conven-
tion, It. A. Belts nominated State
Treasurer C. S. Merck. The secretary
was instructed to cast a ballot for Mr..
Mersick Isaac M. Ullman nominated
Judge John P. Studley for second dele
gate, and the secretary cast ballot for
Judge Studley For third delegate F..
l.. Averill nominated Howard G. Webb,
city attorney and Mr. Webb was elect
ed For fourth delegate Fire Commits
sloner Kegelmeyer of the Ninth ward
nominated Aaron A. Alling and Colonel
Rolin S. Woodruff named Frank C.
Bushnell. Mr.. Alling withdrew his
name and Mr.. Bushnell was elected, the
secretary casting the ballot.
The delegates having been elected Dr.
Waldo H. Minor arose and offered the
following resolution
Resolved, That we believe that it is
for the best interests of the republican
party of the state that the Hon. Donald
T. Warner, of Salisbury, be nominated
for governor of Connecticut and that
this, tie largest city in the state, en-
dorse his candidacy
After the presentation of this resoIu-
tion Minott r. Chatfield took the floor
and said that while he favored Mr..
Warmers candidacy he believed that
the delegates from New Haven, the
largest city in the state should go to
the state convention uninstructed. Mr..
Minor explained that his resolution did
not instruct the delegates, but simply
endorsed Mr.. Warner The resolution
was then adopted with no dissenting
vote.
Fire Commissioner Kegelmeyer called
the attention of the convention to the
fact that at the last previous conven-
ton there was talk of adopting the
primary system for caucuses He
thought something should be done
along this line and that the primary
system was the better system He said
that the matter had been referred to
the town committee to report at this
convention, which was to settle the
question.
f. A. Belts in reply to this stated that
the town committee had considered the
matter and referred it to a sub commit
tee, which was to hold advertised meet
ings later and hear opinions, after which
it would in turn report at some future
convention. An adjournment was then
taken.
At the close of the convention a wa
tetmalon cut was held in the roof gar
den of the Young Mems Republican
club.
