New Haven. Conn, Aug. 31.--The vis- 1t of William J. Bryan to Connecticut today must have strongly reminded him of the strenuous days during his Presidential campaigns for he delivered four addresses. each of considerable length. attended two receptions and was the center of handshaking bees whenever his admirers could reach him.
 This was crowded into the hours be- tween noon when he reached this city and is retirement tonight. at Bridge port. Everywhere he was heartily re- ceived although there was an absence of street demonstrations both here and in Bridgeport.
 His audience, however, were wildly enthusiastic, especially at the noon luncheons here. The features Of the day were the luncheon and the confer erice of New England Democrats. At the former Mir. Bryan was welcomed to the city and State and at the latter he stod before representative body Of New England Democrats and with great earnestness spoke of tho proh- 1sms which the party must face in the coming campaigns
 Mir. Bryan said in the course of his address that New England meyer had been a .good breeding place for D4m- ocracy. Jefferson had never so consii- cred 1t; neither did Jackson"
 A delay at the start of Mir Bryan's trip caused an overlapping of three meetings here to the disappointment of many The mass meeting on the green had to be started before the luncheon was actually over, and the Democratic conference was not com p1eted until it was time for MT. Bryan to deliver his third address or the day.
 The chief change in the program was the inclusion of ex-Governor Garvin of Rhode Island, as one of the open air speakers. as the address he had prepared for the luncheon had been 4uIed out as being too political,
 Mir Garvfn spoke at the luncheon, however. paying a tribute to the np- rightness of MT. Bryan.
 Mr. Bryan left New Haven for Bridgeport shortly before e,cioek. addressing af audfsnee at the army club in the evening. His addresses at the mass meetings were along the lines of bis speech at Madison Square Gar den last night.
 Tomorrow morning Mir. Bryan will return to New York Most of the members of his party who were with him today left for their home tonight. at 12:15 o'clock.
 At the station was long line of car ; riages for the members of the party and for the Committee on Entertain- ntentIn and about the stations and the nearby streets the crowd filled the walks and a hearty round of cheers was given the arrival Many of the men gathered were employees of nearby fac- tories and of downtown ofice buildings.
 MT. Bryan was greeted by Lieuten- Rnt-Governor Woodruff and Mayor studley, the latter riding with Mir. Bryan. As soon as the carriages were filled, a brass band struck up lively march and the procession started across the city to the headquarters of the Democratic County Committee in Chap Dsl Street.
 Owing to the fact that arrangements were q little behind hand. the stop at the Democratic committees rooms was only for few moments, and handshak- ing was limited to a small number of the more prominent men present. The carriages were then driven into Court Street, where. at Music Hall, the lunch con was spread.
 The visit here os Mir Bryan today was an event of moro than ordinary in- teresti although he is no stranger to the city Many times in the last years, and immediately prior to his trip abroad. Mir. Bryan was here to attend to duties as executor of the estate of PhiIo S Bonnet and to appear as a party in the legal complications developed by his administration of trust.
 Summer Resort Guests.
 The throng on the streets today from the station to Music Hall was made up largely of persons from the summer resorts in this vicinity The city people turned out by thousands at the mass meeting on the green Trains from the east and west, all the
  men who bore marks of travel as if coming from considerable distances The mercantile houses closed at noon.
 The days program was marked with an absence of formality. the only special arrangements being the erec- ton of a small section of seats near the band stand and the issuance of tickets to the luncheon.
 At the luncheon the arrangement of tables placed the guests at one which ran across the hall, while from this at right angles were six tables, one for each New England State deIega- tion. Covers were laid for six hundred. s. D. Fuller of this city was toast master.
 As MT, Bryan passed into the hall he was rousingly cheered, everybody standing. and the more enthusiastic ones climbing upon chairs and waiv- ing hats Those who were near the head table pressed forward to shake hands with MT. Bryan and there was delay In getting everybody seated so that luncheon could be served. Mayor Studley, Lieutenant Governor Wood ruff, ex-Governor Garvin of Rhode Island and ex-congressman George Fred Williams Ot Massachusetts were the chief guests nearest neighbors.
