 DELEGATES IN DOUBT.
 New Haven, Sept. 16.-This was ocrats of the State of Connecticut At 11:15 o'clock this morning when the convention took a recess of half an hour it was not known by the del egates who would be the candidate for governor or senator. There was talk of slate with Congressman Lonergan as U. s. Senator and Mayor FitzGerald as a candidate for governor but the friends of both these men insisted that they did not want it and would not take it.
 The convention was over an hour late in gathering, many of the &sdelz egates a,tentdlngs St. Marsss church Troup was held. When they did ar rive at the convention hall they did not seem to have any idea of what the ticket was going to be. Friends of Mayor FitzGerald were positive that he did not want the place and that he would not take it but the del egates insisted that he must take it.
 All night long there had been con labs and powwows and conferences gle of who was to be who on the state tcket Telephone messages were sent to many prominent Democrats throughout the state asking them to positions but in each case the an sWer was a negative. The conferees sent word to Homer S. Cummings askIng him to reconsider the with drawal of his name from the race but were told that the answer of the Stamford man was final.
 Don Seltz of the New York World who has home in Cos Cob was ask ed if he would take the nonina ton for governor but he also declined
 So the delegates after the close of
 the temporary session last night at which Thomas J. Spel1acy made his speech talked possibilities and prob abilities until 4 o'clock this morn ing.
 There were many women here women interested in the Democratic party and the Democratic policies, but
 they were not aggressive as they were at the Republican state conven- tion at Hartford. They seemed will ing to allow the men folks to make
 ton and were not over-enthusiastic
 on having places. The only name mentioned for a place after several had been talked of was that of Mrs. Fannie Dixon Welch of Columbia who was slated to be the nominee for the office of secretary of state. Robert Goddard of Bridgeport seemed to be the choice of a great many of the delegates for the office of comptroller.
