THINK HOLCOMB
 ELIMINATED AS
 A CANDIDATE Mayors Name As Next Governor Greeted With
 Enthusiasm. PERSONNEL OF STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE:

That Governor Marcus Holcorb has been eliminated candidate for the termination this year by the action of theA state convention yesterday was the concenssls of opinion of the dea- egates after leaving the convention hall yesterday,
 Almost every one was certain that the Governor would take the action that he did, in refusing to comply with the request of the convention to call a special session of the Legislature to- take action on the Suffrage amend ment-
 Mayor Wilson's attacaz on the lead- ersh4p of J. Henry Teorabaok and his comparison of the results of the 9ead- ershlp of Rorabar2S and John T. King was the outstanding fe<Eoure of the convention. In taGct it came as q com pfete surprise to the Roraback sup Dor<ers as they had been informed be- fore the opening of the morning ses- sion that everything had been patched up between these leaders and King and RoTaback had fSsd a very cordial meeting in the Hobby of the Taft Hotel during the early morning.
 While J. Henry RoTaback got the plum at the head of the delegation to the National convention he was com pleteIy outgeneraled by the Bridge port leader whose advocacy of the S1Iffrage amendment has put Cover nor Ho4comb out of the running, Mayor Wilson's attack on the up- State mans leadership with the sup porting attack of Senator Dillon who told of Rorabacks attempt to inf1u- ence his vote against the SuffraSe amendment ten minutes before the vote. has made Roraback impossible as a leader in the future
 That Mayor Wilson is the most likely candidate at this time for the nomination for governor was shown by the applause with which his name was greeted when Rogers of Man. chester referred to the mayor as the next governor. This applause was not confined to the King following but many of the delegates who voted against him on all motions.
 Kings strength in Fairfield county where he won by vote of 65 to r and in Hartford county where he had ss votes to 56 of the Roraback faction was the surprise of the vote
