 porary Chairman.

Hartford. Conn, June 26.-To place it's state ticket in the field for the November election, the democratic state convention met in Foot Guard armory tonight, few hours after the republicans had completed similar task. Augustine Lonergan, repre- sentative in congress from the Firs: district, was the temporary chairman. As no contest seemed likely over any place on the ticket. the interest and activity which pervaded the republi can pre- convention gatherings in hotel Hobbies was entirely absent among the democratic delegates. The state cen tral committee had completed plans for the convention routine and can vassed available material for places on the ticket As democrats generally had expected, contests in the republi- can convention many likely candidates for democratic honors had withheld announcements until the outlook be- came clearer. The state committee meeting afforded the opportunity of a survey of the field, and forecasts of the convention action tomorrow began to take form. It was expected that only one name for each place on the ticket would be presented. Thomas J. Spellacy. United States district attor- ney, is expected to be the nominee for governor. Alton T. Miner of New Lon don for lieutenant governor and Har- rison Hewitt Af Kew Haven flor attor- ney general.
 Delegates Gathered Slowly.
 The delegates gathered inside the armory slowly. The balmy weather would have made an open air meeting [ agreeable. Hundreds fingered outside , until David F. Fitzgerald. chairman of the state committee, gavel in hand was ready to call the delegates to or der Then the seats filed up and Congressman Lonergan was presented after MT Fitzgerald had praised his | co~nressional activities.

HOW GERMAN COMMANDERS
 ARE DECEIVING SOLDIERS
Tell Them Germans Have Captured New York and Are Marching on Phil adeIphia.

With the American Army in France, June 26.-(By. The Associated Press) (Belleau Wood )-German prisoners captured by the Americans on storm ing the Belleau Wood section last night now number 250, including seven off cers. One of the officers said the Ger man commanders have been telling the soldiers that the Germans have land ed an army in America, captured New York and are now marching towards Philadelphia. The Germans also are told that submarines have sunk be- tween forty and fifty ships in Long Is- land Sound.
 The importance of the American ad- vance in Belleau Wood is not indicat- ed by the amount of territory captured as that only amounts approximately to 500 square yards. The new positions of the Americans, however, dominate the ridge beyond so that they now hold the upper hand.
