WALLER CONTROLS
 THE CONVENTION Robertson Is Nominated For Governor Of Connecticut FIX GOVERNOR DECLINES Full State Ticket and Nominee for Con- ressman-at-Large Is Put In the
 Field In State Democratic
 Convention.
EX- GOVERNOR DECLINES

Hartford, Conn. September 16-In many ways the democratic state eonven- tion which today placed in the field a state ticket and a nominee for repre- sentative-at-large in Congress, was unique in the annals of gatherings of delegated representatives of a political party in Connecticut It was a convention in which one man is almost absolute mas ter of the situation.
 That man was former Gov. Thomas M. Waller, whom nearly every delegate in the convention wanted to have nom- mated for governor, but who found 1t physical impossibility to respond to the call of the party By his speech, given with much of the old-time vigor he led the delegates from their intentions and made them ratify the name of Judge A. Heaton Robertson of New Haven for governor. The rest of the ticket is as follows:
 Lieutenant Governor-Rollin U Tyler,
 Secretary of State-Andrew J. Broughel.
 State Treasurer-George Mischler.
 State Comptroller-John M. Brady.
 Congressman-at Large - Christopher Avery.

Berlin. September 16.-The Inter-Par- uamentary Union is to hold it's opening session tomorrow, and already 300 mem bers of different parliaments in the world have arrived in Berlin. The Hungarian house has sent nearly 100 delegates headed by Count Albert Aponyi. minister of worship and Henry Guenther minister of justice. Among the other notables present is M. DuPont, vice president of the Belgian chamber of deputies; Premier Knudson of Nor way. Gen. Francisco Pistoja of Italy, Prince Kinsky of Austria, Lord Wear dale, Joseph Havelock Wilson, Sir Jar dine and Thomas Lough of England, Count Valencas of Portugal, Represen- tative Richard Bartholdt of Missouri, chairman of the American delegation Tulia Larrinaga of Porto Rico and Pablo Ocampo of the Philippine Islands
 The address to be delivered by Chan cellor Von Buelow is a subject of much conjecture as it is believed he will take advantage of the occasion to make an important declaration. The delegates came together for the first time to- night at a reception.
 With the full approval of the eight American delegates, Representative Bartholdt presented before the inter- parliamentary council today the two resolutions which he prepared for sub mission to the inter-p parliamentary cor ference.

THOMPSON WING
 WINS THE FIGHT
IS RIGHTFUL OWNER OF THE IT. TILE REPUBLICAN" IN STATE OF ALABAMA-SECRE JU- HAN EXPLAINS RULING.

Montgomery, September 16.-(Spe- | cial )-Secretary of State Frank N.
 Julian has ruled that the Thompson
 wing of the republican party is the
 rightful owner of the title republican" I in the state, and in line with that
 ruling he will certify the nominees of l that wing to the probate Judges of the 1 state as the ones to be run on the l election ticket under the picture Of l Vulcan, the republican emblem in Ala bama. The Davidson wing nominees will be run on the ticket under the
 name of the Davidson faction, with the
 arm and hammer emblem. In a statement to the press, in which
 he explains his position, Mir. Julian
 says;
 "The Davidson wing of the republican
 party filed an emblem and list of nom-
 inees on February IS, and claimed that
 the faction represented by the commit tee filing the emblem was the regular
 republican party.
 This department hesitated as to ac- cepting the same, preferring that
 court decision be had, but the attorney l general advised that the secretary of
 state should receive the emblem and 1 place the same on file. The code makes it mandatory upon the secretary Of state 1 to Immediately certify the emblem I to the various probate judges In the state. This was done.
 "At the time the Davidson faction
 made their certificate of nomination l h. l ticipating the action of the Thompson faction.
 "In June the Thompson faction filed I their emblem of Vulcan which had previously been filed in 1904, together | with a list of nominees
 "The code says The emblem once 1 adopted, prepared, and filed shall con l tinue the emb lem of the party adopting | the same until it is changed by the same or like authority, as prepared, | adopted and fled etc.
 From the above it will be seen that Vulcan was adopted as the emblem of the republican party in 1904, and has | not been changed by the regular party authorities There are only two ways | to ascertain which faction Is the reg l ular one and that is by court decision l or by the action of the national conVen- l tion of the party.
 l "The national committee recognized 1 the Thompson faction as regular. The l Davidson faction sought, through the | city court of Montgomery, to compel l the secertary of state to certify to the l nominees of the Davidson faction as 1 the regular republican nominees. The l contention of the Davidson faction was | not sustained by the court.
 'In view of the action of the nation | al republican convention and the fact | that the emblem Vulcan has not been
 changed since the original filing, l will l certify that the nominees of the Thomp
 son wing are entitled to go on the
 ticket as the regular republican nomi
 nees, and that Vulcan is the republican
 emblem.
 "The Davidson wing will have theil
 nominees placed on the ticket under tho
 emblem Arm and Hammer as tho Davidson faction of the republican party"

WANT UNIVERSAL EXCHANGE TREATY Holland Will Invite Powers To
 Conference DlF FACULTIES IN THE WAY Variation of Gold Premiums In Differ ent Countries Makes Problem Hard One to solve-A German
 Statement.
 
DIF FACULTIES IN THE WAY

sIhe Hague, September 16.-At the re- quest of Germany and Italy. Holland is to invite the powers represented at the second Hague peace conference to par uclpate In further conference at The Hague probably in 19O9 for the elabora- ton Of draft of a universal treaty.
 It Is suggested by The Netherlands that the royal commission of international law as affecting private persons make the necessary arrangements.
 The importance of an international con- ference, having in view the adoption of laws for the regulation of exchange. as proposed by the German and Italian gov ernments, is at once recognized by of ficials having to do with the financial af- fairs of the government However the difficulties in the way of reaching a com mon basis of agreement and understand ing on this important subject are, it is pointed out, numerous and perplexing This is especially so because of the va riations in the premium on gold in the different countries of the world The proposition has not yet reached the Uni ted States government, but it is presumed there will be no hesitation on its part to be represented at the conference because of the importance of the questions in- volved.
 Germany and Italy's proposition recalls the discussion several years ago at the Pan-American conference at Rio de Janeiro, when there was talk of estab- fishing an American international mone- tary unit to facilitate the transaction of business operations and to simplify the exchange of money. Secretary Root at tended the conference Nothing conclu- sive came of the deliberations.
