DELEGATES FOR JOHNSON.
Connecticut Quota Said to Have Had
Change of Heart.

Hartford, Conn, June 6.-From reliable
sources tonight comes a statement that
the Connecticut Democratic delegation Of
fourteen which will go to Denver, has
undergone quiet and gradual change Of
heart to the point that there are now
eight out-and-out Johnson men, only
three for Bryan, and three uncOmmitted.
This causes a surprise as great as was
the CONSERVATION which followed an in
formal gathering in the Hotel Garden
shortly after the convention at New
Haven on April 90 This ballot disclosed
only two for Johnson, the Hartford Coun-
" members. four noncommittal, and eight
for Bryan.
This was a paradox. as Connecticut was
apparently anti-Bryan though test vote
was not taken. To-day Harry c. Ney. Of
Pennington, delegate from the First Con-
gressional district. finished a poll of his
own. and the results OF his recent talks
with the delegates shows eight for John
son. three uncommitted. and three for
Bryan. OF the uncommitted. one dele
gate-at-large. John ]. Walsh. is probably
for Bryan, and James f. Farley is expect
ed TO join the Johnson forces, as he has
appointed as his alternate a Johnson en-
thusiast.
The third man on the fence NJ. b..
Cary, of Ridgefeld will probably wish to
be on the winning ticket, as he has aspi-
rations. It is said. for a Job in the diplo-
matte service.

Hitchcock has overplayed his hand and
has precipitated a situation which pre-
cludes all possibility OF his election as
chairman Of the national committee. In

a scandal which cannot but be without
important results.
He was deeply chagrined when he
learned that even Taftites on the com

new committee II there was even an
idea that he is TO be chairman.

OLD-FASHIONED REPUBLICANS.
League Proposed to Bring Party

II was rumored yesterday In Washing

the vote OF ohiceholders Of the admin

seats, and II. by this means. a radical

is to form an organization to be styled

moorings
The league VIII bring together tried
Republicans 10 confer as to the best
course to pursue. They will defend the
memory Of Grant. denounce the Browns

tive administration OF the old-fashioned
Republican policies. 10 which. II is be-
lieved. the best portion OF the party is

MAY BE FORGERY CASE
Endorscrs of Notes I'm Suit Claim They
Did Not Sign.

Papers in suit on two notes given
by Peter Bohn OF West Haven to Max
sussman were served yesterday and
as a result OF the suit some unusual
developments are expected. Bohn has
been doing some small contracting
work and Is at present engaged on
job In West Haven The allegation
set up by epssman Is to the effect that
two notes. one for 5000 and the other
for $500, were given to him by Bohn
OF Frank Maylnger and Peter Cuny
as endorsers. The allegations further
state that the notes were duly pre-
scented and were later protested and
that they remain unpaid. Copies of
the papers were served upon the par
ties named as endorsers of the notes.
In connection with the suit an attach
ment in tho sum OF 800 was served
upon Frank Maylinger to cover the
amount OF $3.50 which is asked as
damages.
The peculiar feature Of the case
arises from the fact that the supposed
endorsers claim that the endorse
ments arc false and that they did not
sign these notes at all. 1t also APP
pears that the notes were signed
with the name OF George Bohn, which
Is the name of Peter Bohn's father
and in the writ he Is named as Peter
Bohn. alias George Bohn. The de-
Tense which the endorsers will put M
It Is understood, will be that their
names were forged to the notes and
that they did not sign them at all.
