DEMOCRATS MAY SPLIT
Members of Party Are Impatient At What They Charge Are Unnecessary Delays ill Picking Ticket.

Impatient members of the demo- cratic party are discussing the advisae bility Of forming an independent party and placing a ticket in the field at an early date, unless signs of more action on the part of the democratic town committee are seen within a few days. As yet, those at the head of the proposed party declare, the town committee has done nothing and diff culty is being found in getting the desired man to bear the standard of the democrats. They claim it is time a candidate was induced to throw his hat into the ring and that if it hadn't been for the wrangling of the town committee one would have done so long ago. It is claimed that without the assurance cf the committees sup port no one will run. In the event of the formation of a new party, it is probable that one of the two demo- cratic possi bilities already mentioned -PaoneSSa or HalIoIan-no oSt likely the latter, will be asked to head the ticket. one versed in the affairs of the new group decares.

ICTHlStIenD
 The convention accepted the report of the committee on permanent or ganization, which made United States Senator Frank B. Brandegee perma- nent chairman, and named five secre- taries.
 The credentials committee confirm ed the temporary roll of delegates, not recognizing the conteSting dele gation from Stratford. Nomina tions for delegates at large were called for and Frank B. Mum of New Hartford offered the name of J. Henry Rora- back of Canaan, and he was chosen.
 Lieut.. Governor Clifford B. Wilson then took the floor and took to task the leadership of State Chairman Roraback, reading in support of his claim from a printed letter prepared by J. A. H. Robinson, town chairman in Bridgeport.
 Praises John T. King.
 Lieut.. Governor Wilson suggested that it would be much fairer to have a. committee named to mring in rec concentrations for the other three del- egateS at large. Lieut.. Governor Will son read a summary of election figures and republican margins in which claim was made that the party had been steadily losing under MT. Rora- UdCh, duu IL WAS Outy JoHh l. IAlHS leadership in Fairfield county that had saved the party.
 Wilson Assails Roraback.
 Lieut.. Governor Wilson also assert ed that MT. Rorabacl1 as state chair man and party treasurer also had been a lobbyist at the capitol and had interjected his own personality, preju- dices and antagonisms to prohibition and suffrage into party affairs to the detriment of republicanism and the good of the state. He moved the ap- pointment of committee.
 J7Iman Makes Reply.
 Coy. I. NJ. Ullman replied to Lieut.. Governor Wilson saying that he had on brief for MT. Roraback, but he would say that this was an unfoItu- nate time to bring up any disagree ment. Four years ago, the colonel said, he was glad to vote for Mr. King who was a very valuable member of the party. yet MT. King then had taken part in slate-making. Col. Ull- man said it made quite a difference "Whose OK was gored.' He had, however, wondered if MT. King was Connecticut man, because his name had been mentioned in connection with activities all over the country. Nevertheless the colonel said MT. King was a mighty good fellow, good re- publican, a good organizer and a good , leader" He moved that MT. Wilson's motion lie on the table.
 Opposes .!Gag Ruic.'
 There was a demand for discussion and Col. Ulllnan withdrew his motion. w. B. Rogers of Manchester urged that a free selection of delegates-at- large be made, rather than to ''ac- cept slate drawn up by a machine MT. Rogers pleaded that the delegates refuse to tolerate anything 'saNorinS of gag rule.''
