These committees. which seem to have taken
the Bryan reception out Of the hands of the
Commercial Travellers League, by whom the
reception is ostensibly to be given, will be added
to by their chairmen as occasion offers. Mr.
committee. the present national committeeman
from this state, Mayor Cummings of Stamford
being invited to attend only
Mr.. TrOups return to the city produced whole
sale changes in the tentative plans announced
for the Bryan rallies here Senator Archibald
Mcneil, of Bridgeport. talked matters over with
Mr. Troup yesterday. AS a result it is now
probable that Mr.. Bryan will cut down his New
Haven plans, so as to give Bridgeport nearly as
much time.
AS now arranged, Mr. Bryan win be met in
lower New York Harbor by steam yacht, on
which will be Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Goltra, class
mates. respectively. of Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan in
their college days and close personal friends.
That evening Mr.. Bryan will speak at length on
national topics in Madison Square Garden. The
following morning he will leave New York for
New Haven on a special car attached to the 10
a. m. train in company with delegation OF firm
Connecticut supporters. among them Senator Nc
Neil, Alexander Troup and w. H. H. Hewitt.
He will be met at the Union Station. in this city.
by the New Haven Democratic Club and brass
band and escorted to a luncheon in some public
hall. which will be open to the public at MOD
crate price.
He will then address mass meeting on the
Central Green. Previous to his address there
will be a formal conference of leading Democrats
from Massachusetts. Rhode Island Vermont.
New Hampshire, Maine and Connecticut includ-
ing Governors candidates for Governor, Mayors
OF cities. state central committeeman and New
England members of the Democratic National
Committee. This conference, which is likely to
be by invitation, is TO be for the purpose of
sOdifying the party in New England and agree
ing on a common basis for the campaign OF the
year and of two years hence Mr.. Bryan will be
the guest of this conference and is likely to talk
plainly about harmony" and other things. Be
sides Mr.. Bryan at the Green meeting there will
be Congressman Lentz, of Ohio; George Fred
Williams of Massa achusetts who Mr.. Troup
says. is strong Bryan supporter himself,
in spite OF reports to the contrary; ev-Governor
Garvan, of Rhode Island, and others.
At the close of the speechmaking there will be
a public reception and then Mr. Bryan will be
escorted to Bridgeport by Senator Archibald Nc
Neil who is figure somewhat prominently IN
the Bryan Connecticut appearance. AS plans
now stand, Mr.. Bryan will reach Bridgeport in
