State Officers
 Of A.O.H. Name
 Local Committee

Col. John H. McMurray and Cap tain John J. Mccarthy, both promi- nently identified with the Hibernian rifles, have been appointed a commit tee with power to act in the matter of selecting a place for the annual state convention of the Ancient Or der of Hibernians which will be held in this city on August 20, 21 and 22. - The committee has in mind the se- curing of one of the theatres or if that is impossible a large hall. The Stratfield is being considered as ad- mfrably located and equipped for the convention.
 The meeting of the state officers able business before adjournment last evening.
 A number of arrangements were made and considerable discussion was held on the state parade, Aug. 20, which is expected to be the largest event of the sort in the annals of the state association
 In keeping witk custom, Philip J. Sullivan of Thompsonville. the state president, will be the grand marshal of the parade. Col. T. J. Murphy has been designated as chief of staff and Fred C. Mullins is first of a staff of 50 aides.
 It is planned to organize the parade at East Main street with the right rest on Stratford avenue, to march northerly in East Main street with
 
 the side streets and falling in line a sthe parade progresses.
 The state officers expect hearty CO., operations among local merchants, for the reason that at the last state con- ven-'on in New Haven, the Chamber of Commerce, which corresponds to the local board of trade, incorporat- ed in it's bulletin a statement that the convention had brought at least $1O0.O00 into the city.
 The state board adopted resolutions reiterating it's well defined position on the matter of peace treaties with Great Britain.
 Another important resolution was that introduced by James M. Sullivan of New London. who wishes to have the present system Of designating the organizations by divisions and num- bers supplanted by calling them branches" and naming each with the name of an Irish patriot.
 T1ts Mas unanimously adopted, apo ordered sent to the national conven- tion of the ordN~ which will be held in Chicago in July.
