HARTFORD, Conn, May 19.-Lay-
men of the Episcopal Church indicated
here yesterday that they might play
a part in the second attempt to elect
a bishop co-adjutor to Bishop Chaun-
cey Brewster.
Bishop Brewster, in an address to the
convention yesterday, voiced the hope
that the diocese would continue un-
broken the tradition of noteworthy
freedom from partisanship and from
what might be called ecclesiastical
politics"
Under the canons of the diocese
the lay delegates cannot vote until
after a choice has been made by the
clergy.
1t was said yesterday, however,
that an informal session of the lay
men might be held while the clergy
is balloting and that many of the
clergy would be glad to receive an
expression of choice from the laymen.
