cool surroundings, steady breezes. and
the fact that the body OF the house is
almost a hundred feet removed in every
direction from the SUMS rays make the
home of the Poll Players by far the
coolest spot in or about Washington

HARMON MUST FIGHT
FOR CONNECTICUT VOTES.

BRIDGEPORT. Conn. May 1.-AIthough
hackers of Governor Harmon last
night claimed to be in control of the
Connecticut Democratic convention and
to be certain of securing the election of
a united delegation of fourteen members
to the Baltimore convention, 1t was
made clear that their choice could not
be assured without a stiff fight.
The advance squad of the delegates
which arrived here last night showed a
decided preference for Harmon. but a
strong undercurrent for Champ Clark
was in evidence.
Thomas L. Reilly. formerly Mayor OF
Meriden and now Congressman from the
Second district, has been agreed upon as
temporary chairman of the convention.
The administration OF Governor Simeon
Baldwin will be warmly Endorsed and a
resolution will urge his name upon the
national convention as a candidate for
the Presidency. Members of the State
organization claim that, aside from the
complimentary preference for Governor
Baldwin, the sentiment shown by most
of the delegates is clearly toward Gov
ernor Harmon.
Today's convention session will be
devoted entirely to the organization pro-
ceedings, the address of Congressman
Reilly and to the district caucuses. The
nominations will not be made until
Thursday morning.
