| tnttk Next Tuesday,
 l Hartford, May S.-The conference committee of twenty-four was unable l to agree on q plan of representation and decided to adjourn without making any recommendation to the constitu- tional convention.

 MT, Andrews of Litchfield then an- nounced the failure of the committee of tWenty-four to agree and asked that the committee be excused Delegate Bryant of Orange expressed the hope that the committee might continue saying that he believed a concession which had been offered giving two rep resentatives to towns of 15,00O in popu- lation should be extended so as to re- duce the number to 10000 The com mittee was then excused by vote of the convention
 Delegate Osborn of New Haven ex- pressed his profound regret that the committee had been unable to agree. He reviewed the plan submitted by the Landed delegates and said that it was unfair to many towns.

 MT. osborn also explained the modi fled Lines plan which the opponents of 1-and60 now favor and said this plan would give the small towns complete control of the house until the popula- ton of the larger cities shall become 2 GOO oOo
