Warner chairman, who said that the commit tee held long session in the delight full quarters provided, ssthe hotel cafe' and with unanmity postponed for two years three resolutions before it and which had been presented to the tenn porary convention. The reason in brief for the action was that it was desired to see how senatorial districts would work out their own methods of transacting business. The report was accepted.
 Chairman Brandegee then called for the names of the members of the state central committee as nominated and all went smoothly until the 18th dis trict was reached, when State Senator Cornelius Tracy of Waterbury an- nounced that there was q disagree lnent in that district.

 As there are only $50 votes in fhe convention Chairman Brandegee asked If It was necessary to take a vote on the other candidate as there was clear majority for the delegate from Bridgeport. On motion, Dr Godfrey was declared elected unanimously.
