Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., September s.
There was every Indication today, before
the republican state convention met, that
the slate agreed upon by the party lead
ers several months ago would go through
The nomination of George E. Lilley, con-
gresham at large from Connecticut, was
conceded by the managers of the cam
paign of his two rivals, Gov. Rollin s.
Woodruff and Lieut.. Gov. Everett f.
Lake. Predictions from conservative
sources today gave Lilley at least 4OO
votes, with less than 200 to be divided
among his rivals.
conference of the Woodruff followers
was called for this afternoon to decide
whether or not to place the name of the
governor before the convention when
nominations are made tomorrow. 1t is
Connecticut's political tradition that no
governor shall be reelected and the
effort of Gov. Woodruff to secure a re-
nomination has found a Wall-like preju-
dice against breaking the custom.
Lake in the Fight to the End.
Lake said this morning his name would
be presented to the convention and he
would remain in the fight to the end He
claims $50 delegates, but all the other
leaders insist he will not have more than
100. II Gov. Woodruff withdraws 1t is
certain the New Haven county delegates,
who number about sixty. will throw their
solid support to Lilley.
More interest than usual attaches to
the selection of nominee for representa-
tive at large to succeed Lilley. John @.
Tilson, who was speaker Of the Connect
cut house of representatives at the last
session, has the support of the republican
organization of the state, and 1t Is be-
lieved that he will win the nomination.
The convention will be formally called
together this evening, when United States
Senator Frank B. Brandegee will be
chosen temporary chairman ana deliver
his address. Aside from the reports of
committees there will be no other bust
ness this evening.
Brown Will Present Lilley's Name.
1t was settled by informal conferences
be presented tomorrow morning by Frank
T. Brown of Norwich. He was Lilley's
lawyer when the representative filed
charges demanding an investigation
against a submarine boat company at the
last session of Congress.
Lakes name will probably be presented
by Mayor E. w. Hooker of Hartford.
1t is given out that only one name
will be presented for lieutenant governor,
that of eX-Mayor Frank b. Weeks of
Mlddletown. He was candidate two
years ago, only to be defeated by Mr..
Lake. Both Lilley and Lake leaders say
that they will support Mr.. Weeks for
lieutenant governor this year, but there
are signs of stampede of the convention
to renominate Lake as lieutenant gov
ernor.

tional ticket, and that things look good
for the democrats not only in Connecti-
cut, but in Rhode Island also.
This dispatch, upon reading it over,
does not seem to carry very encouraging
reports for the republicans. At the last
moment a ray of sunshine is afforded.
The national committee has just given
out a statement that the republican man
ayers in Georgia say that there Is a
great deal of apathy among democrats,
owing to dissatisfaction with Bryan, and
that IF the republicans could only have
the votes counted

Our Bachelor Boys.
There live two lonely bachelors out
in the hills,
But they will soon be married If Cupid
it so wills,
One is Irish, tall slim and dark,
The other is Dutchy and happy as a
lark,
They are after two fair maidens close
at hand
One has golden hair and 100 acres of
land.
The other one takes some space
Wears her dark hair in perfect grace,
The road across the plain is rather
rough,
But Tones he won't take blum
And Dutchy says you Sweeds skidoo,
For the Dutch and Irish are always
true,
And Da- is also in the race
They will surely make him go pace
But John is also in the ring,
think his chance is very slim
Mr.. s. for you there is no chance,
You better stay on your own ranch
Mr.. J-n-o from Jerome,
You're better of to stay at home
Just you be good and don't butt In,
There's enough Of them now who try
to win,
Scoty A. sees things in different light
He's not yet ready for fight,
But as he is not so far away,
He'll steal a march on the rest some
day,
Sunday about week ago
The whole bunch met there logged
out just so
And Aug. was also on hand,
He dealt them out and kept his stand.
You ought to have seen the Irish run
His long legs flew it was some fun
And Dutchy he just lost his hat,
He rolled down hill like an acrobat,
Mein Colt, says Dutchy, ach mein head
Already yet, I'm not quite dead.
II Dutchy got married when he was
young,
He'd have some big boys now of his
own,
But he is forty, as we hear
And he drinks lots of Lager beer;
And sour kraut sticks out his ears,
To Dutchy now we give three cheers.
Now boys take warning all Of you,
Where there's a Swede around you
just skidoo.
Next time you do counting go,
Do not butt in where there is beau
This may be too severe text,
Hingel Ding will get it next.
II you my name you want to know,
At the bottom here it does plainly
And now you scold me all you can
