lBy Democrat Stan Man)

Hartford, March 19th.-Chances of Watefbury's isolation hospital be- ing taken over or being supported by the state as an institution for the care of tubercular persons ap- |peared slim to-day. State Finance Commissioner Edward F. Hall, for one, IS understood to feel that the hospital, due to its location, would not be any use to the state system lat this time, at least not enough to warrant the purchase or support of the institution.
 Tomorrow afternoon at 1880 o'clock the committee on humane institutions will meet at the Capitol and the question of the Waterbury isolation hospital will be taken up. Frederick S. Chase, William M. Har- ris of the Lincoln House association and Mayor Frank Hayes are expect led to attend the conference.

The com, mittee's report stated sthats. while there were several camps highly in favor of an appropriation, particu- larly the Emerson H.

The bill was presented in the general assembly by Senator Lewis s. Reed. At the time of the hearing Captain Thomas White of Waterbury appeared and spoke on behalf of the recommendation. It is understood that the veterans of '98 had confidentally expected that the state would come to their assistance and enabled them to hold.a ccnven- tion this year.
