STATE COMMITTEE Resolutions to Be Prepared on Death of Hon. Alexander
 Troup. ALL IN FAVOR OF WALLER Niahan Expressly Charged to De-
 feat All Efforts in His Behalf.

Hartford, Sept. 15.-'The democrat ic state central committee met this afternoon to complete business In readiness for the convention. Most of the members were present and Chairman Charles w. Comstock pre- sided. It was voted that all conven- tions which nominate candidates for office to be voted for on the state ticket, including representative. must be held by October 14
 A sub-com mittee consisting of Bry- an F. Mahan of New London, John l. Walsh of South Norwalk. J. R.. Martin of New Haven, and Denis O'Neil of Bridgeport was directed to prepare resolutions on the death of Alexander Troup and to present the same to the convention tomorrow.
 The temporary roll of the conven- ton as prepared by Secretary Thom- as was approved. The supposed con test in the Plainfield delegation did not appear, ii being explained that whatever differences there were had been settled and by oversight the sec retary had not been notified of this fact.
 The state committee discussed the outlook but did not touch upon the st- ustion as regards the filling of various places on the ticket Different mem hers had opinions but they did not give them at any length, the sentiment be- ing that the county caucuses to be held In the evening would probably show the drift of opinion among delegates as to the choice of standard bearer.
 Following the state central commit tee meeting there was conference of number of the more prominent dem ocrsts in the rooms of Homer s. Cum mings IL was evident from the start that practically every one In the con ference wanted ex-Governor Waller to lead the party. No one else was mem toned but Bryan F Mahan. who said he had been expressedly charged by Mir Waller to defeat all efforts made to line the delegates up for him, made vigorous address in which he urged those present to respect Mir. walters wishes. He said that the governor felt that 1t was impossible for him to make the campaign such as he would like to, that he had reached that point | in years where he could not enter the activities of political life as he once | did, and he would not want to do any thing. Mir. Mahsn said Governor Wal Ter was with the party In spirit but nature would exact compensation.
 The conference evidently appreciated the sincerity with which Mir. Mahan appealed that Governor Walters wishes be acceded to. Then the suggestion was made that Mir. Cummings be select cd for second place to do the hard campaigning SD that Governor Waller might take matters easily. But to this suggestion fl was pointed out that Gov. ernor Waller if nominated would be unable to resist the calls of duty and would want to go Into the contest with all hIs old time enthusiasm. It was this tremendous strain'that he so much desires 10 avoid.
 There was further discussion and the sentiment seemed to swing to Judge Robertson but no definite ideas were evolved and the conference broke up after having been in session about two | hours.

LEADERS FIGHT T0STUMTlDE
General Bishop Again Declines to Run-Judge Robertson . Strong Choice--McNeil and Cummings Men
 at Work,
Especial to the Journs,-cour..r,

Hartford. Sept 15.--with the first session of the democratic state con- vention already held and after a meeting of the state central commits tee and conference of prominent state democrats. the delegates late toe night are in more doubt than ever aS to who they will nominate as the head of the ticket
 One reason for this Is the absence of cx-Governor Thomas NJ. Waller. oh New London, who will not be here until tomorrow morning. GovernoN Waller this afternoon issued a state1 ment from New London that his, health would not admit his taking up of the campaign, but after the ,con~ ference here this afternoon 1t waS stated that final effort would ba. made to get him. to run tomorrow morning, and that he would be stans peded in the lobby of the Allyn house, if not in the Auditorium. As the dei-. egates get together the cry is ever Waller" and the statement of Bryan F. Mahan. ex-mayor of New London that Mir Waller cannot ba compelled to run does not allay thiss Mir. Mahan will help urge. MT. WalieE in the morning,
 Two other names are heard afteN Mir. Walters. They are those of Judge A. Heaton Robertson. of New Haven and Archibald .McNeil, ,of Bridgeport Neither is willing to cons test for 1t, but the Fairfield and New Haven delegations are hard at work for each, A careful canvAsss of the delegates here favors Robersons should 1t come to showdown. but the McNoil men are putting up q fight.
 Late tonight a strong sentiment developed for Henry A. Bishop, of Bridgeport. A conference of the leaders was held and the wires were kept busy with Mir. Bishops home. lt Is stated that Mir. Bishop sticks to his published decision not to run.T
 Another conference is to be held tc~ morrow morning to choose a name to be presented to the convention. It Ia said there will he but one sent to tho convention. and whosever it' may be- the nomination is expected to be unanimous. M A
 Fusnck. of Torrington, is now talked of. strongly for heutenant-govs ernor.

WAS PRESIDENT FoR A DAY.
David Alehisoa Held That ONCE for
T~enty-Four Hours.

David Aiehisou Held That once for
TweHty-Four Hours.
Many persons have been thrown into
confusion by an anxious inquirer who
wants to know what man was presl-
dent OF the United States for one day
and signed one document?" This Is
not surprising, for the event was one
Of ante-bellum times and has dropped
out Of sight in the excitements OF the
later period. The man referred TO was
David Rice Atchison. whose name
would be almost unknown to the av-
erage American OF to-day but for the
fact that It Is preserved by the city
Of Atchison. Kan. which, with the
county IN which Il Is situated. was
named in his honor.
Atchison was a kentuckian by birth
and a lawyer by profession. He went
to Missouri when young man and
rose 10 some prominence in the law
IN iS4i he was appointed to the ma
tlonal senate 70 hli a vacancy, on the
theory. It was said. that he could cas-
ily be displaced by other aspirants
but he was elected for a full term IL
1S45. and reelected in 1919 In ths
senate he was popular. and was elect
ed pro tempore for two terms, 1S46
lS49 and 1852 1854.
During the former term Zachar,
Taylor was elected president and Nil
lard Fillmore vice president. March 4
isf9, fell on Sunday. and in conse
quence they were not inaugurated un
I'll March S, and in this interim Of on
day Atchison was virtually president
as the constitution makes no provision
for the executive holding over.
