 Hartford March 4.-What the wo- men interested in the matter of Wo- man suffrage, did at the public near ing before the legislative committee Wednesday, was repeated Thursday afternoon, when the hall of the house of representatives was filled to the linn it to hear what the antis had to say against giving the people opportunity to vote on the subject. The lady sup porters and dissenters of the move ment were perhaps equally divided in the large assenlblage. Those favor ing the proposition were designated by small flags of green, white and pur- pie, and white roses, while the ants were classed with red artificial roses. The same rule as to entrance pre- vailed as on the day before, and the ladies were not allowed to enter until the legislative session closed, and then they entered with rush and filled every available chair. And there they sat for over an hour waiting for the opening hour of the hearing. and at that time even standing room was at premium. At o'clock the house adjourned to 11.30 Friday morning.
