ELABORATE SPECIAL
 TRAIN IS ENGAGED
Connecticut Delegation to Chicago
 Will Travel in Style

The special train which will carry the Connecticut delegation, including several New Britain men, 70 the republican national convention in Chicago next month will be the most ella borate train that has ever pulled out of this state.
 Leaves Hartford June 5.
 The train will leave Hartford at 30 o clock on Saturday afternoon, June 3, arriving in Springfield at 4:47 o'clock. There the special will follow the Twentieth Century Limited as a second section and will arrive in Chicago at 130 o'clock the follow ing day. The train will be a com bined club and baggage train with two diners and three or four com partment cars, ensuring sufficient room for the entire delegation to dine at the same time and separate sleeping com partments for each. All cars will be of the latest all steel type and the last car will be the latest model observation car, accom- modating sixty people. Oliver Jen- nings of the Pullman company has made it possible for the state delega- tion to have the best cars possible
 Each delegate will be provided with a badge of neat design. It will have the national colors predominating and a gold pendant suitably inscribed to represent the republican principles will be attached.
 To Care for Conn. Men.
 In Chicago, Mayor Thompson and the president of the board of finance both former Connecticut men, will look after the interests of the Nut meg delegation, thus assuring the Connecticut men the best of enter tainment and accommo odations, turing their stay in the Windy City.
 Members of the delegation now ex- pect the convention to be much more lengthy than they at first thought. Indications are that there will be at least fourteen candidates. thus neces- sitating fourteen long nomination speeches and a couple of seconding speeches for each. Then will come the long process of elimination. None of the members have any idea just when the convention will end, but the Connecticut delegation will re- turn together, in the same special on which they go.
