COLD FOR SENATORS
 ---~---~-- s--~------a---.- Attitude of Convention Toward Brandegee and Bulkeley
 The Delegates,
lsrecInI lo nhc Lonrnnl.cnnrlcrA

Hartford May 6-The most sur- prslng thing of the republican state convention held here to-day was tho complete frost given Senators Bullio- Icy and Brandegcc Throughout the session neither was mentioned and while perhaps 1t was only their n- structions that kept them from being mentioned 1t was nevertheless a sort of show down to Senator Bulkcley who wished to be national delo- gate. About Hartford, however, tho sentiment was that tho senator didn't wish 1t very much because if he had he would have been on the spot look ing to see that he got II and not down in Washington.
 Up to this mornings convention there was no doubt but that the sena- tors could have gone had Senator Bulkcley been Willmg to ooclalc nm- self for Taft This he refused to do, his refusal even going so far as to sending a telegram signed by himself and Senator Brandcgeo In which they stated that as they understood the delegation The telegram was aldross- ed to Railroad Commissioner Andrew r. Gates and he was authorized to read it to the convention.
 The telegram from the senators was the result of a conversation between William J. Brennan, Senator Brande- gees law partner and the latter be- tween Hartford and Washington last night.
 After the convention the state cen tral committee held meeting and organized. Six changes were made in the election, none however from New Haven, which reelected all it' committeeman. The most notable change was the election of Allan w Paige.
 The telegram settled the question S decsively. in fact, that their nameI were not even breathed In the atmos phere of the Auditorium,
