Continued from First Page.)

Continued from First Page,) tion. There was no violence at the meeting, quite contrary to the reports that were floating about the hotel, but the fact remained that the delegation is split.
 There were meetings of minor import ance all during the night and others, ln- cluding those of the different commit tees, will be held before the convention is called to order this morning. The principal business ill the senato- rial district meetings last night was the naming of the members of the state central committee, which will be voted upon to-day. Each of the twenty-four districts is entitled to member on the committee, and each succeeded in nam i ing a candidate, with the single excep- ton of the Nineteenth district, the del- egates of which could not come to an I agreement without coming to blows, so | it was decided to leave the matter for | the district to settle at the meeting at J o'clock this morning. By that time 1t | is expected that the delegates will have I chance to cool off some, and that man will be named without resorting | to tables and chairs for weapons of de- fense.

 choosing a man, and as result of the caucuses the following men will be named for the state central committee: First district-Charles J. Dillon, of
 Hartford. Second district-Nelson F. Taylor, of Berlin.

 many of them indorsed candidates for 1 the different nominations. The New

 by James H. Webb and the secretary
 was David Fitzgerald. An interesting
 little tilt took place, over the nomina-
 ton for comptroller. MT. Danaher. of
 Meriden, named Mayor Kilduff, of Wa terbury, for the place. and MT. F'itzger-
 aid put up the name of Philip Hugo, of
 this city.
 There were several motions to table ] the whole matter and the fight lasted for over half an hour. MT, Fitzgerald
 finally withdrew his amendment which
 named MT. Hugo, and MT. Kilduff was
 unanimously indorsed. New London county indorsed MT Thayer after a strong opposition by
 six New London delegates, and during the argument three or four of the del-
 egates bumped each other and came to ] blows The caucus was held on the stage in Music hall, | The Hartford county and Fairfield
