7 he Total Vote Cast on the Convention
Question Was 10,797 of Which 2s7
Were Against the Holding OF Con :
ventton-Largest Percentage of the
Total V3te Cast In the Fifth Ward
Slight Opposition Here to Acceptance
of the eAmendmeMts.

| New Haven yesterday in the special
election voted by vote of 10,510 to 2SI
in favor of the holding of a consttu-
tional convention by a vote of 1926 tc
213 in favor Of the adoption of the con-
stitutional amendment providing for
plurality election of state officers, and
by vote of 1852 to 25l in favor of the
constitutional amendment providing for
an increase in the number of state, sem
atorial districts.
The vote was light. less than one half
of the total registered vote being cast
and yet the vote which came out Is
considered large for a special election
and was an important factor in decid-
ing the question Of holding a conven-
tion.
Various estimates had been made Of
the vote which would be cast in New
Haven and General Registrar IT. S.
Hamilton had estimated that vote of
at least $4,000 would be polled. Town
Clerk F. H. Brethauer yesterday after
noon after hearing how the vote was
going in the various wards made an
estimate that 10,35O would be cast, 441
less than the vote polled
The election was quiet, very quiet and
the various polling places did not pre-
sent their wonted appearance on cleo
tion day. The voters after casting their
ballots did not linger about the voting
places as they usually do, but after
casting their ballots walked away
The Fifth ward is the banner ward
SO far as getting out the vote is con-
cerned There are in the ward 7S7 reg
istered voters and of these 642 went to
the polls and only s voted against the
holding of a convention.
In the Seventh ward, the democratic
stronghold of the city, only three votes
were cast against the convention, none
against the plurality amendment and
only one against the senatorial amend
ment. The total vote cast in the ward
in favor of the convention was 1,135
The Sixth ward was second in get
ting out a large vote, casting 1,005 out
of total registration of about 1900.
OF these 1,005 only four were against
the holding of a convention. The Sixth
ward is also one Of the democratic
strongholds.
In the Tenth ward, the banner re-
publican ward Of the CITY, which cast
nearly 1,S00 votes for governor at the
last state election, only 821 votes were
cast and Of these So were cast against
the convention, the largest anti vote
cast in any ward In the city,
The Ninth ward came next with AZ
against the convention.
The reports of the vote in the va
rious wards came in early last night
to the First ward polling place on Or
ange street and all the returns except
those from the Third ward were in at
7:40. The returns from the Third came

THE EPISCOPAL CONTENTION.
Amendment Regarding the Fofmor
Worship Adopted.

| San Francisco, Oct This was a
! day of oratory in the house of deputies
of the triennial Episcopal convention.
l,The debate, which began last Saturday
on the proposed addition to article I of
the constitution, prescribing the form
of worship was continued all day and
resulted in it's adoption AS adopted it
is as follows:
but provision may be made by canon
for the temporary use of old forms and
directories Of worship by congregations
not in union with this church. who are
willing to accept the spiritual oversight
of the bishop Of the diocese or mission
ary district"
The debate was very animated and
until the result was made known it is
the prevailing opinion that the vote
would be much more evenly divided
than It was. It was strongly urged by
the advocates of the proposed change
that it's adoption would open the way
to a great increase in the membership
Of the church, while its opponents re-
garded 1t as too radical an innovation
The house of bishops adopted the
amendment to article T. section 1s. Of
the deputies which in effect, makes the
presiding bishop Of the church elective
for a term of three years by majority
of bishops. 1t was voted, in view Of
the growing Importance Of missionary
work in China, to divide the district
of Shanghai into two departments, to
be known as those of Shanghai and
Hankow. The bishops considered a
number of reports and transacted much
business.
The Daughters Of the King elected
a council and decided to hold meetings
triennially hereafter, preferably in the
convention city.
The American Sunday School insti-
tute elected Bishop Talbot of Central
Pennsylvania president and retained
Rev. Fl. L. Duhring of Philadelphia, as
secretary treasurer. It's sessions were
addressed by several Sunday school
workers.
