Delegates Arriving

New Haven, Sept. 12.-Rain and
 wind and a general state of disagree
 ableness seemed to have no effect
 upon the spirits of the delegates to the republican state convention as they began coming into the city to day for the session in the Hyperion theater tonight. Most of the early ar- rivals came by automobile and this meant a wet journey. Delegates and those with them at once began hu<k- ing up headquarters of candidates and seeking groups who perforce were obliged to hold forth in hotel corri- dors.
 There was not a great deal of news or information among the delegates. All were seeking for 'the latest" in the way of prospective tickets. Lieut. Governor Charles A. Templeton came down from Waterbury and was at his headquarters in the Taft shaking hands as the delegates went in to sec him. The lieut. governor was a very happy man because neither he nor his friends saw any indications of an op- ponent to him in his race for the nam. ination as governor. As it was re- marked by one of his closest friends:
 Roraback in Evidence
 Charles always was a fast sprinter and he's got this race to himself or I'm no prophet" State Chairman J. Henry Roraback was in his suite and with him were Col. Robert o. Eaton and '. S. Marshal Walter and to all a large delegation of fed- era office holders in this revenue and prohibition enforcement district. In other rooms were Col I. M Ull- man and many of those who are SUD- porting him in factional contest in- volving the chairmanship of the state committee which MT. Roraback al- ready has claimed as his by a vote of about 23 to 12.
 By the noon hour the delegates who have more than local prominence former members of the general as. sembly and state committeeman were be meeting of the state committee merely to go over the convention ar- rangements to see the plans were as near perfect as possible to make them.
 The Ticket Discussion.
 The ticket discussion was in full swing among the groups. It seemed to be conceded that Mir. Templeton would be nominated for governor. For second place there was talk of both Col. Hiram Bingham and Senator Ar thur E. Bowers of Manchester, the selection depending upon over night developments. Donald J Warner, the present secretary of state, can be re- nominated if he desires second term. it is understood and if he does not it is suggested that Judge Fran ,is A Pallotti be nominated. In the alter instance. as Hartford county would be represented 1t would be likely that Senator Bowers would not 90 on the ticket and Col. Bingham would, the argument that both MT. and Col. Bingham would oe from New Haven county beinR net by the claim that the former be. ng in the fifth congressional district night be credited to Litchheld county x

 the family and the death certificate both state that death was accidental due to gun shot wounds.
 Henry, who was about 50 years old and who is survived by a widow and daughter, was found half-propped against tree on his country estate at o'clock last night with a shot gun across his lap. There were gum shot wounds in the right temple and top of the head.
 He came to Norwalk from Texas some three years ago and according to a statement given out by his fam fly today was engaged in industrial and oil enterprises in Texas" Henry had been i'll for some little time and Mrs. Henry ahd her daughter re- turned to their home last night and were unable to find him. A search party found him dead
 Medical Examiner Samuel H. Hunt ington after examining the body re- fused to state whether the death was accidental orssuicidal. It was known that experts from life insurance com panies in New York were called to Cannondale today to determine whether death was accidental or not. The family's statement said that Henry met his death while wood chuck hunting" due to an accidental discharge of his shotgun" It is known that Henry was quite wealthy.
 Henry was graduated from Yale in 1894

Yale Professor Looms up as Likely Candidate for Lieutenant Governor Against Bowers.
Thus Far, Templeton of Waterbury Seems Alone in the Race for Guberna- torial Nomination.

Support of the New Britain dele. sation at the state convention in New Haven which opens tonight will probably be given Prof. Hiram Bing. ham of Yale, for lieutenant governor. Prof. Bingham is we'll known locally. He addressed local gatherings on sev. eral occasions. his discourses on ex. ploring and his anecdotes concerning Roosevelt, an intimate friend, beins of particular interest
 Both "New Haveners"
 The only other candidate being mentioned with prominence is Sena. tor Henry Bowers of Manchester. Un. less the unexpected happens by which Lieut-Gov. Templeton Is thrown down in his quest for the guberna- torial nomination, Prof. Bingham will be at a disadvantage since his nom. ination would be in the form of an award of the two highest places on the state ticket to New Haven county. Sen. Bowers, on the other hand, being Hartford county man, would seem to stand the better chance for the nomination.
 Local Delegation.
 State Senator George W. Klet1 nominee for state central committee. man for this district, will lead the following local delegation to the con- vention: George F. Kimball, Senator Edward F. Hall Representative Rich- ard Covert, Representative A. N. Rutherford, Mrs. Eva Mitchell, Mrs. Fife Kimball, c. J. Dehm, August Bergstrom, William Quigley, J. W.

Action Deferred,

Chicago. Sept 12.-Judge James H. Wilkerson today deferred hearing on the motion of attorneys for the rail strike leaders for modification of the temporary restraining order nending completion of the govern nent's efforts to show that the dom inant purpose of the alleged conspir- acy Is the destruction of interstate commerce.
 Citing the court decision in the Coronado Coal case the lumber deal ers' case and the Patton corner pros ecution, Judge Wilkerson said the question raised by the governments allegation was a vital one and should be settled before the request for modification of the present order can be acted on.
 Objects To Article.
 Donald R. Richberg, attorney for B M. Jewell and John Scott, strike leaders, interrupted the hearing to demand of the government attorneys whether a statement which he brand ed ."criminally libelous' printed in morning papers as coming from AL torney Gen. Daughertys office, had been given out by MT. Daugherty or his associates.
 The statement was a resume of the list of murders and other crimes growing out of the strike read in court yesterday
 Judge Wilkerson said he had not seen the statement but would read the copy produced from the Chicago Tribune by MT. Richberg and pass on it later. The strikers attorney said that the statement "libelously' at tributed to his clients acts of which they had no knowledge.
 10 Days Extension.
 The governments temporary in- function against striking railwaymen was extended for another ten days period beginning today at yesterdays hearing.
 In extending the injunction, Judge wilkerson did not attempt to pass on any merits of the contentious of either government or defense attor- neys beyond temporarily denying the defense motion to dismiss the pro- ceedings. As the second day of the hearing began, Attorney Gen. Daugherty had made no suggestion or recommends ton for modification of the original bill, despite his statement at Wash ington last week that it was not the purpose of the government to curb constitutional rights or restrict free speech, free press or peaceful as- semblage.
 Govt. Charges.
 A statement by the attorney gen erals staff disclosed the nature of the governments testimony and evidence.
 Since the commencement of the present railroad strike acts of depre- dations have been committed in practically every state and judicial district in the United States" the statement said "The efforts of the perpetrators are concentrated upon :wo ends-destruction and intimida- ion."
 The statement enumerated reports (Continued on Fourteenth Page).
