 The convention adopted several changes in rules and formally elected a new town committee in Madison and over protest of Attorney Gen. Frank F.. Healy, elected a chairman and chairman for that town commit tee.
 Slow To Start
 The delegates gathered rather slow ly and ii was after 10 a. m. when the convention resumed with Col Hiram Bingham gavel in hand, on the plat form. The permanent organization committees report was accepted and Mir. Bingham became permanent chairman and Alexander Creedon, secretary. The assistant secretaries were Mrs. Edward W. Frisbie, J. Frederick Baker, Leo J. Noonan, AL bert $. Bill and Frank M. Lynch, as- sistants.
 AS the Madison caucus incident did not come up last night before tho credentials committee, Representative Arthur W. Marsdcn having abandoned a contest over the town delegates who opposed him, the convention was or ganized in perfect harmony.
 The rules committee which had be- fore it last night several proposed changes in party rules laid in its re- port for reading before the conven- tion adjourned. Major John Buckley explained the changes to the dele gates.
 Changes Likely
 Adoption of the changes was fore cast as most of them were in phrasing of old rules. The only change which of especial importance was that which will permit senatorial dis trict delegates in a city where there arc more than one senatorial district to elect their own state committeeman. Tho practice has been 10 have the committeeman for each district chos- en by the delegates for all the dis tricts in the city. The rule applies mainly 10 Hartford, New Haven, Waterbury and Bridgeport in which there are more than one senatorial district. An argument made last night in behalf of the new rule was that it gave a district which has had a minority vote in convention the right to elect its own committee. Under the old rules the majority in the con- vcntion could override the vote of single district.
 The New Rule
 The new rule follows.
 Rule s---The delegates from the several senatorial districts comprising two or more towns shall be appointed by the delegates elected to the state by the towns comprising such districts except that in any town having more than ono senatorial dis trict within its limits such district and members Of the state central committee shall be elected by the delegates 10 the town convention frorl the various wards comprising the senatorial district.
