REPUBLICANS BY PARTY VOTE NAME
 COMMISSIONERS
Disagreeing Action Means That Governor Will Name
 Democrats

Hartford, May 1.-The Republicans in the House scored first blood in the battle with the Democrats over the county commissionerships today, in eiectlng Andrew J. Steel as comnis- s1oner for Hartford county. When the resolution was called up MT. Healy, the Republican leader, said they were party measures. The Democrats had rejected the Nagee amendme ent which would have enabled county del egations to elect the commissioners. He said he intended to vote for every Republican candidate and he hoped that every Republican would do the same. MT. Ryce said that four Denn- ocratS requests for pairs had not been filled. The first resolution taken up was the Hartford county where the candidates were Andrew Steel, Repub- 1ican, and Charles J. Cunning, Demo crat.
 MT. Thons said that it was only fair that the Democrats should have a representative on the county board.
 MT. Koppleman moved that the four requested pairs be filled with Republi- cans but the motion was withdrawn.
 On the question of passage on the Steel resolution there was row over the count in the Democratic section by MT. Haynes of Old Lyme. He made the count sixty and then sixty one.
 He then demanded that some other member act as teller, and the Speaker told Mir Thoms to count the section He made the number that the partic- l1ler wage agreed with the Speakers count. The vote on the resolution was in favor of MT. Steel-115 to 112 Many of the members who had been making their own count claimed that the figures were 113 to III against the resolution Accepting the clerks an nouncement of the county as correct, MT. Healy moved to reconsider in the hope that 1t would not prevail, and the Democrats somewhat excitedly de- n1ard a roll call vote, on the motion to reconsider. This was ordered ana the motion to reconsider was Lost, 1l9 to 1o7.
 MT. Healy moved. the indefinite post ponement of the Cunning resolution, and MT Kopp1eman demanded a rcA call. MT. Healy replied that he in tended to stay even if sandwiches had to be served with the roll call A roll call was ordered.
 The Democrats suggested that the motion to indefinitely postponed be withdrawn to save time. MT. Healy to a ssfrazz1e'' and if they did not know enough to take their medicine he wouldn't withdraw his motion. The roll call showed 11s to 112 against re- consideration.
 The resolution appointing John Wilkinson commissioner for New Ha.. ven County was taken up and roll call vote ordered on that motion Of MT. Bree. The vote on the Wilkinson resolution was 113 for to 110 against.
 The resolution appointing James F. Cloonan, a. Democrat, of Meriden, commissioner for the same county was then taken up, a roll call being order ed.
 The .C1oonan. resolution was defeat
 On the next roll call Charles D. Moves, Republican, was defeated for commissioner of New London county 1O5 to 100.
 The seventh roll call was then or dered, on the name of Albert H. Lam pher, Democrat, who will probably be elected for that county.
