Episcopal Diocesan Convention Today.

The annual diocesan convention of the Episcopal churches of Connecticut opens today at New Haven. Judge Gardiner Greene and H. H. Gallup are the delegates from Christ church, c. B. Chapman and Henry F. Parker from Trinity church.
 It is practically assured now, it seems, that when the convention is held today and Wednesday and consid- CTS the question of the division of the diocese of Connecticut into two dio- cesses that the proposition will be re- jected. The matter has been under consideration of a committee appoint ed for that purpose when the sugges- ton was made and advocated by Bish- op Brewster, and it is practically cer- tain that the conmittcc's report wifi be unfavorable to the division of the diocese.
 As to the appointment of a coad- jnIor to assist Bishop Brewster the committee will not have any recom- mendation on that matter in It's re- port because the matter cannot be con- sidered under canonical rules Nnless the bishop first suggests, and this he has not done, and it is thought unlikely that he will do it. Not only will the report of the committee he unfavor- ai~e but it seems that the general sen.
