this city Saturday afternoon. the &C
tual transfer of the club will not
take place until next week.
The inability of the attorney repre-
senting LAWS and Crowley to be pres
ent yesterday because of an important
court case in Boston. necessitated the
postponement of the final proceedings

about matters connected with the trans
fer of the stock.

Hartford. Sept. 13.-Charles D. Lock- wood of Stamford made the following report for the committee on resolu- tions, which were adopted by the dem ocratic state convention:
 We, the representatives of the demo- cratic party of the state of Connecti- cut, in convention assembled. do here. by indorse the declaration of principles adopted at the democratic national convention held at Baltimore June 25, 1912, and ratify the nomination of Woodrow Wilson and Thomas R. Mar shall respectively, for president and vice president Of the United States.
 We point with pride to the splendid record of the present democratic na- tional house of representatives.
 We direct attention to the fact that the remedial legislation enacted by the last general assembly was forced upon that body by the persistent efforts of It's democratic members and by public opinion aroused and stimulated by democratic campaigns. The republi- can party. which has controlled this state for years, has begrudgingly and reluctantly granted in part the popu- lar measures of relief which the dem ocratic party has consistently urged for long period of time.
 We reaffirm our belief In popular election of United States senators. 2,
 We favor that system of party nom- nations known as the direct primary and also the initiative and referendum.

LOCAL COMPANIES Nor
 aoiNe TO NEW HAVEN Norwich Coast Artillery Will Not Participate in, Big Pageant.

The military committee of the gen eral organization, in charge of next weeks observance of New Haven week in the Elm city. has secured funds by which 1t is able to pay the expenses of the military companies from this secs tion of the state, which have been in ytted to join in the military pageant on Thursday. The First and Tenth companies of New London will attend. but it is not likely that the Norwich companies will go. as the sentiment here is known to be against it on account of the expense at this time. The committee at first proposed that the governor order out the entire C. N, G., but this was found to be inn possible as there is no legal provision for pay of troops ordered to parade at such times. No authority was pro- vided to allow expenditure of money for travel expenses, either. The mili- tary committee then extended invita- tions to the companies to attend at their own expense, but many of the eastern, Connecticut militiamen said that they could not afford to lose a days pay and pay carfare, too. A fund was then raised for paying the fares and arrangements are to be made for dining the visiting companies in New Haven.
