years. This is a part of the 23rd
 senatorial district, but only recently
 did he move into the Twelfth dis
 trict. He resides in Seaview avenue and is married.
 Robert H. Gould declined to mak any statement after the convention. He said that several things had hap pened yesterday and that he would want to turn the matters over in his
 brain for a. while before announcing the reason that he withdrew from the contest and gave his delegates to MT. Burnhanl. MT. Gould seemed happy and leaders of the party said that in case MT. Goodwin was nominated that he would be amply taken care of for his with drawal without a fuss The only thing that is said to bother MT. Gould is a statement published in one of the local newspapers last night in which Louis K. Gould, father of the young politician, announced that he would give his son $500 to keep out of the senatorial contest. MT. Gould does not like to have the inn pression go forth that his father bought him off and it is because of talking last night MT. Gould was so confident up to yesterday of getting the senatorial nomination that he conceded the nomination of Malcolm MacFayden as alderman in his stead in the First district.
 Chairman F'arweu made a state feet that Burnham was nominated in place of Gould for the sake of har- mony in the 21st district, particularly in the 9th and 4th districts where BurnI1arn is believed to be a big vote getter.
 There were many dissatisfied dele gates in the convention because the caucus at which the delegates were instructed to vote for the M'Lean reso- lution was held at the Stratfie1d Hotel upon the invitation of John T. King and only good and loyal King men were allowed to attend. The minority who were opposed to King were not given chance to take part in the caucus. The delegates in the 22nd senatorial district who attended were those from the 11th voting dis trfct and one man from the Seventh. and the entire Fourth district delega- ton were also ignored. These dele gations say that MT. King will hear from them at the next primaries and that Judge Sim E. Baldwin looks good to them.
 Former Alderman Eugene C. Con verse presented a resolution after the nominations were over which was adopted endorsing the platform of the Republican party. Delegate William H. Brown presented a resolution call whereby direct primaries would be inaugurated in this city. The change sought would give any Republican a chance to become a candidate for of electors. The signers of the resolu- tion were Charles H. Morris, Eugene I. Meyer, William H. Brown, Charles, c. Blackman and Frederick Walker.
 After the resolution was read Chas. H. Poland of the Twelfth district said that he objected to the resolution be- cause he was in possession of informa- tion that it was drawn by a Demo crat who is now running for office. He said, f'I object to having anyone write rules for the Republican party who are not Republicans. He moved then that MT. Brawn be given leave to withdraw his resolution" The mo- tion was carried unanimously.
 Charles H. Morris was on his feet instantly and presented an exact du- plicate of the Brown resolution with the exception that it instructed the the last Friday of this month to elect delegates to a special primary to re- wise the rules of the party.
 In regard to the resolution MT. Mor- ris said that it was drawn by him and that he branded any insinuations to the contrary as false He declared that Judge Perry, Theodore Roosevelt, Governor Hughes, Senator LaFo1lette, William H. Marigold. Sheriff Haw1ey and Judge NobbS were in favor of driect primaries and he presented the resolution because he believed. it was good Republican doctrine. He said that he was willing to bet $10,OOo out the resolution himself. He concluded by shaking his fist at MT. Poland and saying, 'I challenge any man in this tion to prove that did not write the resolution. I defy you.'' The four nominees for selectmen were Frank Braithwaite, Michael Del Vec- chic, Ferdinand Leiss and Daniel smith. smith was beaten and the other three were put on the ticket.
