STANDING OF DELEGATES
 TO REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Hartford Papers Present Widely Vary ing Claims-Times Prints News Unbiased.

Inasmuch as both the candidates for the republican gubernatorial honors are from Hartford, the papers of that city are deep in the contest and their claims as to delegates differ widely. In re- gard to the republican caucus infor- nation the Times had the following to say Friday evening:
 That there is a wide difference Of opinion in regard to the standing of the delegates to the republican state convention there is no question One claim is that Goodwin leads, another is that Lake is far ahead of his rival The Times figures give Goodwin Ss, Lake 72, doubtful 12.
 It is proper for the Times to state that it has no decided preference for either candidate. Either can be de- cisively defeated by ex-chief Justice Simeon E. Baldwin. and it is hoped he may be prevailed on to accept the democratic nomination
 The figures published by the Times each day are verified in each case from republican sources. We are not biased in the matter, nor are we advocating the nomination of either MT. Lake or Mir. Goodwin Correct information is what the Times desires to furnish its readers, and in this canvass our infor nation comes from the delegates them selves of some reliable republican au- thority in the towns.
 The figures given out from the head quarters of the two candidates are not used by the Times.
