CHANDLER CONFUSED BY
 WORKINGMAN'S QUERIES,
 MAKES EVASIVE ANSWER
Singer Sewing Machine Workmen laugh at Him When One of Their Num- Der Calls Attention to His Party's Failures = Spell Binding Dismal.

Senator George B. Chandler of Rocky Hill addressed 15O employees of Singer Mfg. Go. in front of the factory at noon hour today. He spoke for 25 minutes without invoking the slightest evidence of applause for any of the arguments that he tried to drive home for Goodwin and the Re- publican party.
 When he had about finished talking John Murphy an employe of the plant asked the privilege of asking MT. Chandler a question. The privilege was granted. Has not the Republi- can party had control of both branches of the Legislature for the past Is or IS years?" asked Murphy.
 'It has, replied MT, Chandler.
 s'Then in the name of common sense why has not the party given us all of these things that you are talking about here today? There is nothing Act.''
 MT. Chandler replied by asking why the Democratic Southern States had not enacted some of the Workingmen's s Legislation; declaring that Northern Republican States had been the lead CTS in Legislation for the toilers.
 You answer my question Tn the good old Yankee way by asking an other of me- retorted Murphy, l asked you about Connecticut not any other state. You fellows have had the majority for years and I asked your a fair question.
 The crowd which was orderly, ton and MT Chandler did not try to answer it further. He spoke for a few minutes later and then the Wh1s- tie blew and the workers hustled into
 There was no one in the crowd to boost or lead any cheering and al- treated there was no apparent inter- lest taken in what he had to say. The bulk of the workingmen passed by the meeting on the opposite side OF Ds11 One of the old timers said, 'tAn of the boys over here have pretty nearly made up their mind how they are go-= ing to vote.'
 Mr Chandler lamented the fact that the argument vas being used "a relative of J. Pierpont Morgan. What if he is?'' shouted MT. Chand- ler t<In Gods name has the time come when rich men cannot be trust ed for office in this state2" Then he. told how the heart of Goodwin ands his brother beat warm for the work
 In closing he produced a copy of a publication called Flaw Notes" in which he read 8 treatise on the opin- ion of Judge Baldwin in the cele- brated Hoxsey case. K
 The opinion was written in con- fornaity with the constitutional law
 
 the Federal Employers Liability act was unconstitutional being an in- fringement upon the rights of the state MT. Chandler had the temerity to tell his hearers that Judge Bald win did not have to write the opinion, despite the fact that he was a judge of the court and had to write his opinion in accordance with the law
 MT. Chandler who is a book agent is reputed to be one of the best book sellers in the country and he worked hard enough today to sell hymn book to an elephant without getting a rise out of his hearers. Not even when he introduced John Alexander Henry Robinson, the candidate for senator in the 23rd district did he get the slightest bit of enthusiasm. MT Robinson took off his hat and answered ''I will'' to several questions put to him by Mir. Chandler and then said that he would do his best if he was elected.
 It is doubtful whether open air rallies will prove successful to tha Republicans in this campaign. MT. Chandler is reputed to be the most eloquent man, and most convincing ta1ker on the Republican stump in this campaign, and if he could not get more than 150 to listen to him it is doubtful that anyone else could l
