ARTFORD SELECTED FOR CONVENTION smocrals Turn New Haven Down by Yote of 21 to 11. . Hartford, Aug. 12.—The democrat- state committee yesterday afternoon lected Hartford as the place for [holding the state convention and [Sept. 16 and 17 as the dates. This was decided by a vote of 21 to 11 for lew Haven after Congressman Bryan . Mahan had withdrawn New Lon- ldon’s claim for the convention, The place in the fourteenth district madc lvacant by the resignation of Judge ) dwin S. Thomas of Orange was filled by the election of Alexander E. Lynch, of the same town. The meeting was a lively one but it wasn't half so lively as some of the ings which happened before the gathering came to order in the Allyn House, this afternoon. TFor instance, it was reported on reliable authority lthat Chairman George Forster of the mimittee had his Tesignation in his pocket because he feared that an effort to land David E. Fitzgerald of [New Haven in the chair was going to prove successful. This was denied by Forster; that is, he said that he had no intention of resigning, but the fact of the matter is that before the [Tieeting there was a count of noses and 19 out of the 35 members agreed to vote for Fitzgerald if it came to a Ifight. It didn’t come to a fight, the [Fitzgerald men deciding that they wouldn’t go after the chairmanship at this time, but Forster's friends had lheard of the count and they were scared. Mahan For Governor? All of which goes to show that the little argument over the nomination tor Unitea States senator is some ar- ment. Forster is one of the leaders ot the Mahan forces and Fitzgerald psists that Gov. Baldwin is the man ¥ho should receive the nomination Itor the place. As an offset to the [report that the Mahan men wanted Baldwin to take the nomination for lgovernor again if Mahan wins the senatorship, the Baldwin men said his afternoon that Mahan can have he nomination for governor if he [promises to be good. The selection of Hartford seems to be a Mahan victory, that is, a victory or the men backing the New London Ltatesman. The Baldwin men wanted New Haven, and David E. Fitzgerald, ho held a proxy for John E. Dough- fan, led a spirited fight for the Elm 4ty in the meeting. But members of lthe committee who favored Fisher for lgovernor also favored Hartford and they voted with the Mahan crowd. When the meeting got to the mat- er of selecting a place Mahan arose lna said that the letter of the New London board of trade offering the laavantages of New London to the ronvention was not well timed, and he ldeclared that he wanted to formally \withdraw New London from the race. hen former Senator Spellacy of Hart- ord offered Hartford to the commit- lfee. He said it was the only town n the state for a convention, and he guaranteed that if the convention came there the state committee would hot be obliged to pay any bills. His otion was seconded by Chairman Forster, and immediately David E. Fitzgerald said that the wheels of the imachine seem to be running a little too smoothly to suit him, and he rned the leaders of the organization that it wouldn’t be a good thing to the road-roller run wild. Chairman Forster took exception to the remarks of the New Havener and in a minute there was a lively mixup in which the New Haven member told the chairman not to pick him too short or he might be sorry for it. Af- ter speeches by the other New Haven members in favor of the Elm City, the vote was taken, The committee decided to separate the offices of secretary and treasurer. Three nominations were made for sec- retary—E. T. O'Sullivan of Torring- ton; P. B. O’Sullivan of Derby, and J. F..Dutton of Berlin. Mr. O’'Sulll- van of Derby was named, the other candidates withdrawing. James A. Hynes of Waterbury was named as treasurer. Placed on Table, W. P. Palmer of the Seventeenth district made the suggestion that a committee of five be named from the state central committee to handle the major part of the work, the commit- tee to be known as the executive com- mittee. After a short discussion the matter was placed on the table and the meting adjourned. Will Not Resign. Chairman Geo. Forster of Rockville declared emphatically that the .v.... that he contemplated resigning the chairmanship was wholly without foundation. He asserted that he had never had any such intention and it was his belief that the report was sent out from a source unfriendly to himc Thirty-one . of thirty-four senatorial districts were represented. Among the number were Congressman Bryan F. Mahan of New London and George M. Landers of New Britain. Kenneth Wynne, executive secretary to Gov- ernor Baldwin, held the proxy of John F. Downey of Wallingford. NOT TO OPEN BRANCH AT OTTAWA, CANADA Bank of England Will Make Payments in London Against Gold Deposited ‘With Canadian Minister ot Finance. London, Aug, 12, 12:056 P. M.—The Bank of England is not to open a branch at Ottawa, Canada, as had been reported. It is understood. that the $10,000,- 000 of specie which made the voyage almost across the Atlantic and back on board the' Kronprinzessin Cecilie ig to be sent to Ottawa. The bank of England will make payments in TLiondon 'against this and other gold which will be deposited with the Canadian minister of finance. The effect of the arrangement will be to provide means of remittance from North America to London with- out the necessity of shipping gold across the Atlantic. The plan is said to be capable of extension to other places outside the regior which now is or may come under control of an enemy, FEWER STEERAGE PASSENGERS. Decrease of 300,080 Noted This Year by Steamship Agents. New York, Aug. 12.—The falling off in steerage passengers from abroad for year Up to last week as com- pared with the same week at a year ago was 300,069 which, according to steamship agents and contractors, means a corresponding decrease in the supply for the labor market. Should the war continue any length of time the impression prevails that unskilled labor will be at a premium for some time to come. Of the immigration to this coun- try last year more than a third came over in the steerage. The immigrants represented all nationalities, greater number coming from those ports in France, England, Germany, Belgium and Holland which are now virtually closed to commerce. the | DIPLOMATS UNABLE TO REACH POSTS ‘War Prevents Newly Appointed Ameri- can Representatives From Assuming Charge of Embassics Abroad. Washington, Aug. 12.—Newly ap- peinted American diplomats are ex- periencing considerable difficulty in reaching their posts abroad on ac- count of the Euroj n war, ‘William G. Sharp, the néw ambas- sedor to France, is still in Washing- ton awaiting an opportunity to get to Paris. Pending his arrival Mr. Her- rick will continue in charge, and it is intimated that because of his close personal acquaintance with the French officlals he will be requested to remain in Paris in the service of the state department even after the ar- rival there of Mr. Sharp, while the latter familiarizes himself with the heavy demands of the post at this critical time, George T. Marye, newly appointed ambassador to Russia, also Is marooned in his own country as a re- egult of the war. He and Mrs. Marye realizing the great difficulty of getting into Russia by the Atlantic routw owing to the presence of the German war fleet in the Baltic, had planned to go by way of thte Pacific ocean and the Siberian raiiroad. According 10 news reports, however, the trans- Siberia route has been closed to clvilians and the railroad has been taken over by the Russian army, which may make that route also im- pessible. Ira Nelson Morris, the new minister to Sweden, with his wife.and private | secretary, were to sail from New York today for Stockholm on a Norwegian sceamer. Tt WMl make the voyage by the northern passage, north of Scot- land, thus avoiding the mine-strewn waters of the North Sea in the vicinity of the British channel. FOREIGN SHIP BILL RETURNED TO HOUSE Measure Sent Over Where it Was Agreed to Without From Senate, Roll Call, But Materially Amended. Washington, Aug. 12.—The bin authorizing the president in his dis- cretion to admit to American registry forelgn ships less than flve years old, was before the house again today for its action. The measure was sent over from the senate, where it had been agreed to without a roll call, but materially amended. One of the amendments adopted by the senate which aroused strong op- position was that offered by 3enator Cummings, which required American | ownership of a majority of the stock of corporations seeking to resister vessels hereafter acquired. Oppon- ents of the amendment, who declare that any such limitation upon the president's discretion would destroy the measure’s value as an emcrgency step to meet the situation created by the European war, claim that the pro- vision will be stricken out in confer- ence between the house and senate, The senate also amended the bill g0 as to authorize the president in his judgment to admit foreigr built ships to the trade between Atlantic and Pacific and gulf and lake ports.
