 The committee recommends that the resolution be referred to the floor of the convention and action on it be made the special order of the day i'm mediate1y after the election of off, cers at the afternoon session.
 Delegate O'Neill, Bridgeport, ob- jected declaring the convention should proceed to act right away and that he had told the committee of which he is a member that he would so oppose postponement of action. It is the first resolution presented, first agreed upon in committee and first reported out and therefore it should be dealt with inn and gotten rid of.
 Delegate Dreissens, New Haven, demanded the reason for postpone ment.
 Secretary Beadle answered there was no reason other than sentiment of the committee that it should be taken up after election of officers because of the long time that would probably be con sumed in debate that might delay matters.
 Delegate Ginty also opposed delay and the resolution should be disposed of at once. The delegates present were anxious to take 1t up and passed so that arrangements could be made to invite the candidate for vice president to address the convention while he Is n Hartford Friday. If that was not possible he advised adjourning the con vention to where he could be heard He called the candidate Saviour sent oy God to save the nation as a second Lincoln

 Several delegates jumped to the floor Il protest with points of order Mr. 1 Ornburn was finally recognized and | tated that there was no need of any ,ne getting excited. The committees i recommendation should be accepted as | t has become public property about | he streets and hotel Hobbies that such | lction was to be taken by the commit | ee and relying on that many delegates | were not present at the morning ses- ion and that they desired to vote on he question. Such recommendation | lid not establish a precedent as at the onvention in Meriden when a Labor arty was under discussion action was nade the order of the day at specified ime and there was no reason why the anne should not be done now No ne is ''ducking' the issue, he declared, ut in fairness to the delegates not resent the recommendation should be ccepted. Nothing will be lost or aimed by either side by the delay, he oncluded.
 Delegate Treat, Bridgeport. declared imself as opposed to delaying action t's the business of the delegates to be resent at all times, and it's asking too 1uch to ask the others to wait for hose absent He denounced the preadng of the report that the com 1ittee would make the recommenda- on before the committee had made it.
