Hartford, Sept 14.--It is the tall h New Haven, according to tho dem. ocratic Uuion. that that city will probably become the hsadquartsrs fDr the party during the coming cam paign. although it is believed the Hartford county men will try to have It here, where 1t was two years ago The advocates for New Haven say they think 1t would be a great thing to have the headquarters there be- cause Lieutenant Governor Woodruff, tho probable republican nominee, lives there.
 James B. Martin has been put for ward by the New Haven committee men as a candidate for the secretary ship, now held by Edwin 6. Thomas. According to the Union Edward J. Maher of West Haven was asked af- ter the convention if he would stand for the place. but he declined. The state committee meets in New Haven next Monday to receive and act on Chairman Walsh's resignation and these other matters are expected to come up then.
 An amusing incident occurred at the republican convention in Dan bury last evening. The convention consisted of thirty-six delegates and a careful observer estimates that something like half of these occupy positions under Sheriff "Sid" flaw ley, or hold court places, or are in close relations with those who do. Colonel John Tweedy, one of the del- egates. offered the following resolu- ton:
 Resolved, That while it is the sense of this convention that no instruc- tions be given to the delegates just chosen to the republican state con- vention in the matter of candidates for state officers, we wish to express ourselves as being unalterably op- posed to the dictation of any man in the nomination of said officers. We want no boss rule for the republican party of Connecticut.
 This resolution was tabled instead of being adopted and the convention goes on record, therefore, as being unwilling to pronounce against boss lictatiOn. As one man put it after he meeting had taken this action, There Is fear of Paige running all through this county"
 
 The following were elected dele sates to the democratic county con- iention lust evening. J. c. Thompson, J. Murphy, T. J. Brennan. John sayles, E. J. Donahue, r. A. Wells. ,harles BOgart, Peter Quinn, James F. H. Hackett, David 'heehy. James Wilson and delegate It large James H. Freney. The con. 'ention was held in the tax collectors 'ffice, J. C. Thompson was chairman nd D. J. Murphy secretary. The dele 'ates were uninstructed. The democratic town convention 9as held in the city court room last vening. Somehow a town convention n Waterbury. no matter of what par ', has more trouble In nominating andidates for constables than a, state | onvention has in nominating candi- ate for governor.
 It was o'clock when Chairman of | own Committee James H. Freney allel the delegates to order. Attor- ey John F. Holohan was selected bairman and Thomas J. Coyle of hawkins street. secretary. The con- ,ittee on credentials consisted of William Houghton from the first ard. Henry Cunningham, second; fired D. Hitchcock. third. John D. Ialone. fourth; and Garret Sayers fth.
 Chairman Holohnn thereupon an- ounced the business of the evening nd said 1t was customary for the to retire to executive ses- on to decide upon the candidate IT constable and selectmen. It was gar 10 when the delegates returned ] the convention room with this ate: For selectmen Frank A. Wells nd Thomas Wagner and for consta- e Maurice r. Carinody. Walter B. uIlUtu, ONOEludu Huu | hristopher Garrity. This arrange ent left Bernard Hoppe out. During e voting, however. three delegates om the fifth voted for Michael hannahan every time. even for reg trar of voters until the matter be- lme a joke. The four named were ,minated. Harry 0'Connor was ,minated for registrar of voters and en the convention adjourned subject the call of the chair. |, Clerk l.. F.
