bles and UndeSirables.
 One hundred and twenty-five mem bers of the Connecticut Woman Suf- frage Association met in session at the state headquarters in Hartford this afternoon. The session was closed one, it is reported, but it was announced that matters of particular importance politically would be dis cussed. Miss Grace Murray, acting ex- ecutive secretary of the state associa- ton, today confirmed reports of the activities of the women of the state in the coming Republican convention when a candidate for governor will be chosen. Miss Murray stated that there state at this afternoon session and things of great interest were being discussed.
 Black List Sent Out
 The Connecticut Woman Suffrage association has sentea blacklist of Republicans seeking the governorship to all its members throughout the state with items of interest concern ing the stand the men took on suf- frage as well as reasons for oppos- ing them. A list of favorable candi- dates was likewise sent to each work CT.
 Eight Unfavorable
 Eight men mentioned as possibili- ties for the nomination as republican candidate for governor are unfavora- ble to the Connecticut Woman Suf- frage association because of their stand on suffrage in general and a. special session of the Connecticut leg islature in particular. Six are favor able. In a statement issued by the as- L,. -Ipz supplemented by later list of three additional possibilities, the attitude of the association is made clear. The statement says:
 Considering Seriously
 ''The following men apparently are seriously considered and are there- fore of importance to us. Opposite their names is given the information in regard to their stand on ratifica- 1ion and our attitude toward them:
 Clifford B. Wilson, favorable. Hon. Schuyler Merritt, favorable. Judge John l.. Gilson, favorable. Robert Scoville, favorable. Senator Charles A Templeton, unfavorable. Senator John A. Brooks, unfavorable. Robbins B. Stoekel, unfavorable. Judge Donald T. Warner, unfavorable. Governor Mar GUS H. Holcomb, unfavorable. Judge
 
 Frank Healy, unfavorable. Colonel w H. Hall of Washington, unfavorable. "In view of this we suggest that you tell those men who are probably going as delegates to the convention what men we oppose. The four men who have answered satisfactorily | would be acceptable to us. But as be- tween them, Schuyler Merritt would probably not accept nomination and Judge Gilson's name has been less prominently mentioned, so the choice of the women seems to narrow down to Lieut. Governor Wilson and Robert Scoville.
 All women know and are grateful for the way that Clifford Wilson has stood by us both during the fight for l the presidential bill and at other times. Robert Scoville has been less prominently identified with our move ment, but has helped us with his time and money and has the respect of the state for the work that he did as food administrator durng the war. Later this list was supplemented by the names of Dist. Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn and John T. Robinson, who were listed as favorable to suffrage and acceptable to the association.
