DECIDED
CONTEST

Hartford. Conn, May 5.-The choice
early today OF Congressman Frank Il.
Brandegee OF New Lordon. representing
the third Connecticut district TO be the
Republican candidate for United States
senator 20 succeed the late Orville III.
Platt, came at the end OF a continuous Sc
ries OF balloting during a session which
lasted exactly IL hours.
The caucus OF Republican members or
the senate and house OF the general as
sembly. was finished at about 2:30 a. m.
and the weary members, many OF them
dinnerless and supperless, sought their
beds
The nomination won on the thirty-sev-
enth ballot with 127 votes. had been made
unanimous, and in view OF the small
Democratic minority this II equivalent 10
an election
One OF the earliest risers this forenoon
was Congressman Brandegee himself. His
appearance I'm the Allyn house corridors.
was the signal for a cheer from a group
or friends who awaited him.
Congressman Brandegee expressed his
great pleasure at the honor conferred and
said he regarded II as sustaining the con-
tention that locality should have some
weight In the choice OF n senator.
Among the politicians generally, this
opinion expressed by Congressman Bran
degee seemed to prevail. all declaring
their belief that the chief cause OF the de-
Ol e&-trONtfnOT Mclean. congress-
man Brandegee's leading opponent was
the fact that he is a resident OF Hartford
county, from which county also comes ex-
Governor Morgan @. Bulkeley, who was
chosen few months ago TO succeed Gen
eral j. r. Hawley in the senate.
supporters OF Ex-Governor Mclean, who
had confidently expected their candidate
10 be successful on the first ballot. were
greatly disappointed when the count OF
the ballot showed that he received only 100
votes. The number necessary for a choice
was ia, the total strength OF the caucus
a. it's opening being 246
On the next ballot ballot McLean's vote
dropped TO 9s and this was taken as prov
ing the truth OF the claim OF his opponents
that the first ballot would represent the
high water mark OF his vote. on several
later ballots he passed the hundred mark,
but never eaualled the figure OF the first
larot. II was said today that several
Hartford county men who had given him
n complimentary vote on the first ballot
dropped away from him after that. though
he received from other sections I'm the

accorded Nm at The outset.

river
TRAFFIC
IMPEDED

The shipping interest OF this port Is con-
sideraby wrought up over the manner in
which the channel OF the Providence
river is allowed 10 be blocked or late and
since the beginning OF the new year.
This morning the danger was made more
apparent by the lying Of one OF the
barges, now unloaded. in the entrance TO
the east passage or the Point street
bridge The local steamers which sailed
today were forced TO make use OF the
west passage for both entering and leav-
Ing the upper part OF the river.
The barge owen Brady, through ths
carelessness OF the captain OF the tug
terday, was allowed TO drift from her
mooring, near the Gas companys wharf,
out 10 the east passage and near TO the
steamer Larchmont which was at the
JOY line wharf. For a time IL was feared
that the stern OF the barge would swing
50 as TO collide with the steamer, but this
did not happen.
Steamer Warwick in passing out was al
most brought into collision with the bridge
and again with one of the tugs, In try
TO escape the barge drifting and dragging
anchor in the stream
Several times OF late local steamers have
been forced to hire tugs to tow them out
from the wharves on account OF the man
ner in which the barges are allowed TO lie
in the river. Tug captains and others
seem to disregard the harbor master
and TO use the river as they Will 10 the
great danger OF the passenger interests
IL IL said that the harbor master has
been informed OF the growing conditions
hut he has been only the slightest effort
TO rectify them or 10 use the authority
vested I'm him by the city TO keep the
channels cleared for traffic
The shipping interest all along the river
front Is complaining, and II is stated that
N something is not done 10 remedy mat
ters, there will probably be serious ac-
c,dcnt that will startle the community.
