STATE CONVENTION
 TO ENDORSE PARKER
(continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page) J. H. Swartwout of Stamford said it would be impossible to have report on credentials until such committee was appointed, and a recess for that pur- pose was therefore necessary.
 MT. Troup, recognized amid cheers, said that he understood that the state central committee made up the roll of delegates and submitted it to the con- vention.
 All the contests, he understood, had been settled by the committee, but he believed that these contests could be re- viewed by the convention.
 Homer s. Cummings said that it gave him great pleasure to agree for once with his friend from New Haven. MT. Troup replied that it was not the first time his Stamford friend agreed with him. He agreed with me in 1S96' said MT. Troup. (Cheers).
 Both MT. Cummings and MT Troup tried to resume but there were cheers and exclamations, and in the confusion the chair called for vote on the ques- tion of recess, and it was carried with few voices in opposition.
 The delegates then proceeded to the

drew in the interests of harmony and to prevent a contest on the floor of the convention tomorrow.
 Edward J. Maher was chosen chair man over George M. Gum by vote of GA to 50, and the latter then made the vote unanimous. on motion. The con vention then completed it's permanent organization and the roll call was made necessary on a motion to proceed to the selection of delegates to the national convention. The motion prevailed, 59 to 30, and Mir McCabe, of Wallingford, was named by Mr Coleman. of Chesh- ire. William E. Thoms, of Waterbury, was named by Mir Guilfoile. and on the roll call MT. McCabe won, 61 to 54. MT. Troup then moved that MT. Coleman present the name of Mir. McCabe as the county's choice for delegate and it was adopted by viva voce vote. Objec- tions were heard from the Parker men, but the convention adjourned and the Second congressional district comven- tion was called. although Mir. Troup tried to get it put off until tomorrow morning.
 The name of Louis B. Fisk, of Bran ford, was presented and accepted as the districts choice for delegate by a vote of 92 to 2.

ENTERTAINM ENTS.
Grand opera House.

The powerful melodrama, Why Women Sin" was presented at the Grand Opera house last night to an audience that filled in a comfortable way every part of the theater. The company have been seen here before and tn reputation gained on their last visit was amply upheld by the various members of the company last night. So well versed was each with the parts allotted to them that it would be super fluous to attempt any criticism or sim gle out any particular artist for special mention. The favorite with the gallery was Paul Burns as 'Sol Cohn." MT. Burns portrayal of the Jew with a heart was clever in the extreme and his efforts to please the audience were repeatedly applauded. Powerful and effective acting in the various scenes by the other members of the company kept the large audience in the best of humor during the performance. In fact there was not a single second during the whole of the four acts that the enthusiasm was allowed to lag. The play very strongly shows the undeTcur- rent of emotions in the world of fash- ion and the many traps and snares that are set to betray innocent women. The comedy and pathetic parts blend nicely together and the audience is carried from laughter to tears and back to laughter again. The climaxes are, to say the least, sensational in the ex- treme. The touching scene in front of old Trinity church on winters night was very realistic and was warmly ap- plauded, other scenes equally we'll rep resented were the illuminated grounds of tn famous cafe on Riverside drive and the gambling saloon. The perform lance will be given again tomorrow and Saturday matinee and evening, and we bespeak a crowded house for each.

 Francesca Bedding and company in the comedy hit, The Cattle Queen" make a good feature of lengthy olio. The Gotham Comedy Four have song and comedy act of decided merit. Barr and Benton appear in songs and dances. Chalk Saunders as the crayon artist and the marvellous Frank and Little Bob in gynlnastic stunt fill the inter- esting bill.

Naval Attaches Are Lost.

St. Petersburg. August 1s.-The admir- atty has not yet been informed of tho whereabouts of the Lieutenant Newton A. McCully or Lieutenant De Cuverville, re- spectively of the American and French navies. the only two naval attaches who were at Port Arthur and who recently left that port. The authorities believe they were on the flagship since they were aboard neither the battleship Czarevitch nor the cruiser Askold. and consequently they must have .een with Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomski. who Is understood to have transferred his flag from the Ret vizan to the Peresveit.
 The admiralty considers 1t most prob- able that five of the battleships have re- turned to Port Arthur, arguing that if the ships escaped they must either have been sighted or reported. This view is strengthened also by the report from Che Foo that seven vessels are now in the harbor at ort Arthur.

Attack Two Russian cunb oats.

Tokio, August 1S.--A report has sbeen received from Admiral Togo saying that the gunboats Maya and Amagi which were on guard duty in the neighborhood of Shampontao on August Il, discovered the Russian gunboat Giliak and another gunboat Darshar, near Shan Shen engag- ed in smelling the Japanese land forces. The Japanese vessels attacked the enemy and a shell from the Amagi hit the Giliak. The latter retreated hastily to Port Arthur.
 It probably was the fifth torpedo boat destroyer fotilla under the command of Captain Muthoaka that sunk the Russian cruiser Pallada on the night of August To- Captain Mathuoka reports that he approached a cruiser of the Pallada type and at a distance of 400 yards fired a torpedo which he saw hit the cruiser and explode.

The tender included women and chill dren under 16 years of age, priests, dip- lomats and officers of neutral powers,
 The conditions of the answer required that on August II, at 10 o'clock, the non- combatants should advance under a flag of truce. At o'clock August F a de- tachment of Japanese infantry would ao- cept their delivery at the conference point and convey them to Dalny together with a limited amount of baggage, the examin- ation of which was to be optional Nom combatants were forbidden to bring books, written documents and articles re- lating 10 war.
 The Russians were requested to answer either yes or no. and they were not al- lowed to alter the Japanese conditions. The emperor of Germany has cabled a request that the Japanese direct Com Eander Hopman and Lieutenant Gilgen- helm, the German attaches at Port Ar thur, to withdraw in accordance with the Japanese offer. Field Marshal Yama- gata advised the commander of the be- seiging force and the emperor of Ger ranys order was delivered to the Rus sian chief Of stan at a conference held yesterday.
