A deadlock. which developed last night in
the caucus of republican members of the

broken on the thirty-seventh ballot early
this morning by the nomination of Repre-
sentative Frank B. Brandegee of New Lon
don by a vote of 100, the number necessary
for choice.
During the ballotng the supporters of
ex-Gov. George II. Mclean were offset in
numbers by the friends of Brandegee. while
in addition to these leading candidates.
State Senator Allan w. Paige of Bridge
port and Representative Z. ]. Hill of Nor

situation. Both Mr. Paige and Mr. Hill
had about score of supporters in all the
ballots.
Throughout the afternoon the leading
candidates. Mclean and Brandegae of New
London. received from 90 to 100 votes each.
II had been predicted that should ex-Gov.

ballot the strength of Representative
Brandegee would become formidable in the
caucus. and this prediction seemed borne

NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Rehearing in Case of Traders Bank
AGAINST Towles and Others


Justice Barnard in Circuit Court No. 1
today granted a new trial in the case Of
the Traders National Bank against Henry
o. Towles, Charles c. Bryan and Zenas c.
Robbins. The suit is one of the series Of
so-called Towles notes cases. 1t is based
on a note dated December -, 1898. payable
on demand, for $1,000 with interest at the
rate of 10 per cent per annum until paid.
The note was alleged to have been made by
Henry o. Towles, Charles c. Bryan, Gilbert
II. Towles and Zenas C. Robbins. 1t is now
held by the Traders National Bank. Judg-
ment was recently rendered against Gilbert
Il. Towles for want of a plea.
The defendants. Henry o. Towles. Charles
c. Bryan and Zenas C. Robbins, went to
trial and the hearing consumed nearly two
weeks. The jury remained out more than
twenty-siX hours and was unable to agree
as to Zenas G. Robbins. The verdict was
In favor OF the bank against Charles C.
Bryan and Henry o. Towles. Motions were
filed by Henry o. Towles and Charles G.
Bryan for new trial.
The defense was that the note had been
materially altered in the date as well as in
the figures $4,000 and as 10 certain erasures
and iuterlineaCions.
This is practically the last of the long
line of cases which were brought on the
series of Towles notes.
An unusual question of law was raised by
the verdict. the jury finding certain of the
defendants liable and failing to agree as
to one of them. 1t is claimed to be doubt
full whether such judgment would be valid
as to those against whom the verdict was
brought, and whether If the judgment had
been taken as against those against whom
II was brought. whether 1t would not re-
lease the other defendants.
The bank is represented by Attorneys X.
Ross Perry & Son and Gordon &. Gordon
and the defendants by Attorneys w. c. Gle
phane, Brandenburg & Brandenburg and A.
S. Worthlngton.

The news that the deadlock in the eau
Gus of the republican members OF the CON-
necticut general assembly had been broken
by the nomination of Representative Frank
r. Brandegee as United States senator to
succeed the late Oryille II. Platt, was re-
ceved with pleasure in Washington, where
the representative has many friends. 1t
will also undoubtedly prove popular
choice 50 far as the House of Representa-
tives is concerned, for Mr.. Brandegee is
we'll and popularity known among his col
leagues
Mr. Brandegee is only forty-one years old,
having been born at New London. Conn,
July s, 1864. He graduated from Yale I'M
versty in the class of 1888, was admitted
TO the bar of New London county In 1888
and has ever since practced his profess
sion as an attorney at law in New Lon
don For some years he has been mem
her of the law firm of Brandegee, Noyes &
Brandegee. In 1855 he was a representa-
tive from New London in the general as
sembly of the state and was chairman or
the committee on cities and bOroughs In
1859 he was elected corporation counsel of
the city of New London and held the office
continuously. with the exception of two
years, when his party was not in power,
until he resigned it upon his entrance into
Congress. He was a delegate to the re-
publican national convention at Minneapo-
lis in 1892 and at the present time is a
member of the republican state central
committee. In 1899 he was speaker of the
Connecticut house of representatives. Mr..
Brandegee was elected to the Fifty-Seventh
Congress to NIL the vacancy caused by the
death OF Representative Russell, a promi-
nent member of the ways and means COM
mittee and was reelected to the Fifty
eighth Congress by big majority over his
democratic opponent. In the last House
Mr Brandegee was a member of the COM
mittee on naval affairs, and of the COM
mittee on expenditures in the Department
OF Agriculture. In the deliberations of the
former and more important committee he
always took prominent part and is known
among his colleagues as a close student of
things political and economic.
