 II. P.

 Change in Rules.
 The rule change offered was as follows:
 Resolved: That in the event that delegates to either a senatorial dis trict or probate district convention shall fail to nominate a candidate for senator or for judge of probate within 2S days prior to the date up- on which the senator or judge Is to be elected, the chairman of the state central committee shall call a meeting of the members of the state central committee of the county wherein the senatorial or probate district is situated, and the members at the meeting called shall nominate a senator or a judge, as the case may be-"
 l.. M,. Allyn of Groton said that the proposed rule would mean that senatorial convention can be held Up and the situation used for a candidates ends" He opposed the change saying that the committee man would usurp the powers of the delegates He asked the change be voted down thereby eliminating one-man government" He declared that the change would be in the in- terest of the machine" and he thought "a cleanup from within"
 F. l., Averill of Branford said the new rule was needed in interest of the party. E. T. Clark of Hsddam and several others spoke including John T. King of Bridgeport who brought a laugh by saying he be- | lleved in machine rule when I run the machine" He told of the Bridge port situation and said that he did not believe bringing in committee- men from Danhury and other parts | of the country to settle a condition in probate district as Bridgeport. In such case the nomination might not be worth taking. He incidental ly criticized the state organization for attempt to interfere in local matters and suggested an amend ment providing that only state con- mittee members in the districts in. volved be called in to dissolve the dea dock.
 A. c. Baldwin desired to amend the rule to give the town committee in the district power to dissolve a deadlock.
 L.. M. Allyn again spoke and nov. ed to lay the committee report or the table.
