Hearst's Independence League to Organize in This City

CHARTERS AT ITS HEAD
Delegates to National Convention Also to Be Elected at

With the excitement of electing na- tional delegates to the conventions of the republican and democratic parties all over and the delegates simply walt ing train time to start on their journeys westward, 1t Is now announced that the state Is to be invaded by the In- dependence league and at meeting to be held In this city on Saturday, June II. state branch of the league will be organized. Immediately afterward dele gates to the national convention to be held in Chicago, July 21, 2S, after both other national conventions are over. will be elected.
 The reports further state that quar- ters are to be opened at Hartford next week with Mayor stephen Charters of Ansonia In charge. For some day past emlsearies of the Independence league which Is headed by William Randolph, Hearst have been about the state talk. Ing 1t up and are said to have made good success.
 Some time ago, when tho league first became active as an entrant in the national campaign 1t was stated that Attorney Edward J Maher of this city had been selected as national committeeman from this state. Mir Maher was candidate for state senator from the Fourteenth district two years ago and was expected to be in that race again this year. He, how ever stated a few days ago that he didn't believe he would go in far the office again. The expected coming of the league may be his reason for a | withdrawal.
 Since Mir, Hearst's campaign for may. or of New York, which was practically the formation of the league. conditions have so changed that Mir. Hearst has possibly lost a very able ally fin thi! | city. This is in the Hon. Alexandei Troup. who was one of Mir, Hearst warm admirers, but who Is now all at. tention to the success of democracy and it is therefore expected and hoped | by hlm William Jennings Bryan.

Wood make several ascensions at Savin Rock, some of the most daring of the summer, and when the season opened this year he was very glad to go on with the work
 Last summer one of his greatest friends and companions was Teddie French, son of Sergeant French of West Haven. French made ascents at the same time as Wood. and both of them were skillful and promising aeronauts. The shocking death of French August IT at West Haven did not deter Wood from going on with the work, but he preferred to go to some other place with different asso- citations. French fell on the roof of the Mathushek piano factory and was instantly killed.
 Before becoming an aeronaut Wood was in the United States ma rine service, but deserted He was caught here, but the matter was fixed up and he was released. Last night his father wired to Passaic to send the body to Newark, N. J., for inter- ment.
 Wood was twenty-one years old and unmarried He leaves father, one sister and three brothers. Yesterday was the third anniversary of his mothers death.
