instructed, hut They Favor the Secretary.
HARTFORD. May CA delegation Of four
teen members OF whom ten are instructed for
Taft, was elected at the Republican State
convention here this morning, There was
no debate on the passage Of the resolutions
Of instruction, but the First and the Third
Congress districts. each Of which elected
two delegates, voted not to instruct.
These four delegates said after the con-
yention that they regarded themselves
under their district caucus vote TO go
as uninstructed delegates rather than by
the general convention vote for Taft. This
leaves ten delegates instructed for Taft
and four who regard themselves unin-
structed but who are individually favorable
10 Taft.
United States Senators Bulkeley and
Brandegee, who were turned down as dele
gates at large because they refused TO de-
clare themselves for Taft. are believed to
have influenced the delegates Of the First
and Third districts, Of which they are re-
spectively residents, 70 vote against an in
structed delegation.
Inc PLATFORM duOpleu lIdlbtS Jut nOOho-
welt administration and calls for friendly
tariff revision.
Delegates we're elected as follows, the
first six being az large, the remaining eight
by counties:

Angus Park, Sprague; William Bunham,

SomeH.
The only change from the original slate
il the dropping Of United States Senators
Frank B Brandegee and Morgan q. Bulk
eley. They refused to declare their al
leglance for Taft and were deliberately
turned down. Charles Hopkins Clark,
editor Of the Hartford COurdHt. and Charles
F. Brooker Of Ansonia. a manufacturer and
Connecticut national committeeman, were
substituted in their places.
