the senate to come in tomorrow and
complete business. When the adjourn
ment was taken this afternoon the
New Haven judgeship matter was still
in the "air" between the two branches.

of Samuel E. Hoyt In the senate on
the motion of Senator Woodruff a con-
ference was sought with the house.
Senator Marsden being named.
Resolution Mysteriously Disappears.
A Webb resolution which was before
the body was tabled. The conference
was TO be on the house resolution. SEN
ator Marsden reported that as the
house had adhered on the name of
Mr.. Hoyt there could be no conference.
Mr.. Woodruff then moved that the
senate recede and concur with the
house in the choice of Mr. Hoyt. The
clerk could not find the resolution and
O. recess was taken. The document had
mysteriously diappeared.
Senate Vote Favors Webb.
After recess the resolution had show
ed lrp. It was said in the corridors
that it was in some ones pocket. A
conference had been held by Webb

action. When the resolution appeared
on the CLERKS desk the question came
on receding and concurring with the
house in the choice of Mr.. Hoyt. The
vote showed a tie at II. In moving to
vote, Senator Donovan had said that
there was a chance for an agreement
between the two branches. Lieutenant
Governor Blakeslee said that taking
notice OF what the senator from the
25th had said, he would dissolve the
tie by voting not to .recede. This left
the senate still in favor of Webb.
Unanimous Vote for Webb.

tabled and then called off the table
another resolution in favor of Mr.
Webb and asked for it's passage. Sen

the motion, and when the vote was
taken it was found that sixteen SEN
ators had voted for this Webb. resolu-
llOI etIIQ IiOtS dSdlI1SI. II1lS LOOk SOME
senators by surprise. A motion was
passed to send the resolution over to
the house. This was done, but the
house adjourned before it could be
brought up. The democratic members
in both branches had voted almost
solidly for the Webb resolutions. The
house has voted three times against
Webb in the past two days.

In the closing moments of the house
session Representative Kelly of Wind
sor Locks prevailed upon the house to
admit under suspension of the rules

necticut River company, and it was
ordered printed. Mr.. Kelly said that
except for the fact that it carried no
franchise tax to the state the governor
favored the bill. A short time before
the senate had refused to receive a
ato1 Hooker.
House Against Friday Session.
The senate wished to adjourn for
good tomorrow, but house members
were adverse to holding a Friday ses-
sion. The belief is general that as
there are only the Judgesnip and Con-
necticut ricer matters to be disposed
Of business can be finished Tuesday.
AS the house sustained the governors
veto on the bread hill this did not go
to the senate.
Possibility of Special Session.
The proposition to equalize the sen
atorial districts was indefinitely post
poned in the house, 81 to 4S. There re-
mains the impression, based on a let
ter sent by the governor to Represent
ative Stevens of Berlin, that special
session may be called to make the re-
apportionment in this regard
