 With returns from many of the rural places missing reports to date show that the democrats of 91 of the 168 towns have thus far elected their dele gates to the state convention which conyenes i'll Hartford on Thursday evening of next week, May 5.
 The remaining towns will all hold their caucuses this week i'll accordance with the party rules. Nearly all of the larger places in the state have already elected their delegates and the total number reported chosen is 376, out of the convention roll of 609. The table given below shows that the objections of delegates to being sent to conven- t1ons bound by instructions in favor of one candidate or another have had full weight, 292 of the 376 being unin- structed. Tn many instances the pre- ferences of the delegates, whether nounced and so well known in the cau- cuses that resolutions of instruction were quite unnecessary.
 In ten caucuses resolutions indorsing Hearst or pledging delegates to vote in his interest were rejected. These were at Hartford, Enfield, Guilford, Wal lingford Norwich. New Canaan, Stam- ford. Wtndham, Windsor Locks and Winchester At Hartford, Norwich and other large places the pronounced anti Hearst sentiment in the caucuses de- feated the resolutions In others the sentiment was for Hearst, but the dele, gates objected to being instructed
