RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED

The Republican State Committee met in this city yesterday with twenty three of the twenty-seveh members present. The committee adopted a resolution opposing the holding of constitutional conven- tion and named ticket for delegates at large to the convention in the event one is held
 One of the members of the committee stated yesterday that if the proposition to hold the convention carries in the April election and the Republicans should have a majority of the delegates in the convention, a final adjournment would be taken immediately after the body con- vened. He added, however that this would be a very deplorabe situation.
