Democrats Change Rs1!eS.

In order to safeguard democracy and to prevent any possible displtes ever arising in the future regarding the naming of alternates to the demo- cratic national convention the Con- necticut convention will, before it's next meeting, devise plans whereby the convention will name delegates and alternates as well. This state ment was made by Hon. George M. Landers this afternoon immedia tcly after his return from the state con- vention in New Haven
 Mr Landers states that tho con- vention was a most harm onious one. At the caucuses last night five candi- dates were named as possible mem- bers of the "big four' delegates at large. Among these five men was Willie o. Burr of Hartford, one of the most prominent democrats in the state. Last night after the caucu.ses the candidates held conference at which both Charles D. Lockwood of Stamford and Bryan F. Mallan Of New London expressed a willinsness to withdraw in favor of MT. Burr. As MT. Burr has attended previous conventions it was finally decided to permit him to withdraw as he desired. He did so with a graceful speech. All action was unanimous.
 A telegram received by MT. Landers last night informed the convention that MT. Burr will be unable 10 go to St Louis so his election is entirely complimentary and under the present rules he will name his own alternate.
 In the future, however, the con- vention will name all alternates, thus doing away with any such situations IS arose last night Under these new conditions it will be possible for New Britain Or Bristol to be recognized with an alternate even though not given a delegate

IN CRITICAL CONDITION.

 UncOnscious-IS at Hospital

Stanis1aus Doblowski of 46 Gilbert street was admitted to the local hos pital today. He is in critical con- dition and is unconscious as he has been since he was injured last Fri day night. He is said to be suffer- ing from cerebral spinal meningitis as a result of his injury.

W. klett stated today however, that the part the accused had in the assault does not appear to be as serious as if did before a more thorough inves- tigatiOn took place. It appears to the prosecutor that the affair was just one Of those pulling and hauling squabbles which are so frequent.

CHANCE OF VENUE
 FOR MRS. G|LLIGAN
Atty. Holden Doubts Whether She
 Can Get Fair Trial Here

Hartford, May 1O.-That he has such grave doubt that Mrs. Archer Gilligan can receive fair trial in Hartford County in view of the Wlde- spread indictment made against the keeper of Archer Home for Elderly People at Windsor and that he is considering making application for a change of venue was admitted by Benedict M Holden, chief counsel for the woman today.
 Mrs. GilIigan passed her second night at the Hartford jail under more comfortable circumstances. She went to bed and apparently had a good sleep.
 MT. Holden was particularly indig- nant that the state policemen had per- mitted the representative of one news paper to share in all the acts of au- thority by the police in searching the house and appropriating pictures the newspaperm thought would be of value to them for purposes of illus tration. To both Supt. Egan and States Attorney A1corn, MT. Holden made vigorous and pointed protest against the publishing today of an enlarged portrait of the daughter of Mrs. Archer Gilligan. MT. Holden said it might be necessary to go be- fore a superior court judge and se- cure a restraining order to curtail the injustice that was being done.
 Attorney Hungerford said today that the defense would be "she didn't do it." Mrs. Gilligan told her lawyers that she never gave MT. Andrews a drop of medicine.
 The lawyer said his first move might be to have thef woman returned to Windsor that she might be given a hearing in due form before a justice of the peace.
