Hartford, Conn., May 10.—Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb, replying to the request made by the “flying squadron” of suffragists representing the forty-eight states, has declined to call a special session of the Connecticut legislature to act on the woman suffrage amendment. His de- cision was given in a letter to Miss Katharine Ludington, president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association, made phblic tonight. i refused to summon the legislature to con- sider the federal suffrage amendment. one occasion being after.the republican state convention had passed a resolution call- ing upon Governor Holcomb, a republi- can, to take actien so that Connecticut might be the thirty-sixth state to ratify the federal amendment. Governor Holcomb's letter to Miss Lud- ington follows “The arguments presented at the hear- ing last Friday, and at the sevreal previ. ous hearings, prove that among many women andl some men in this and other states who believe in woman suffrage there is a strong desire that a special session of the general assembly be called to act upon the federal suffrage amend- session next January; but these argn- ments do not prove or tend to prove the existence of the special emergency men. tioned in our state constitution, which i the only authority given the governor to call a special session. “The claim made and urged at Fri a special session because special sessions were called to enable our soldier electors to vote at the Mexican border and in the late war has no force. The distinction is clear; our soldier electors were called from the state by the national govern- ment. The special emergency was that except for a special session they would have been deprived of exercisinz the electoral right they then possessed, whereas in the present case a special session is sought with the hope that Vileges they do not now possess.

Washington, May 10.—Secretary Dan- iels launched a vigorous counter-offen- sive against Rear Admiral Sims today when hie appeared before the senate in- vestigating committee to answer charges made by the officer against the navy de- partment's conduct of the wa Sweeping criticism of Admiral Sims occupied Mr. Daniels most of the day, devoted to reading a carefully prepared statement. His attack came as a pre- face to his answers to the Sims charges of failure and lack of cooperation and he unsparingly arraigned the admiral for ‘“pro-British idiosyncracies,” viola- tion of naval regulations and criticism of thé “self-sacrificing and sucessful ef- forts” of his fellow officers. So far as he dealt today with Admiral Sims' charges thal delay by the depart- nient had prolonged the war unnecessar- ily, Daniel: declared . the navy’s war record stood “untouched to- day and for all time regardless of criti- cism from within or without.” “As the American navy's part in the great war” he said, ‘there are mo two opinions at home or abroad.” “The most serious charges made by Admiral Sims are without foundation and the others are unjus®fied. Upon his assumption of what he lls errors and a4 small foundation of facts, Admiral Sims has erected a towering structure of exaggeration and misrepresentation.” Admiral Sims did not wholly measure up to expectations during the war, Mr. Daniels told the committee. He enu- merated six, points in this respect, in- cluding charges thdt the officer placed 100 great stress on the importance of protecting 8argo vessels and had failed to appreciate that the protection of American soldiers enroute to France was the navy’s paramount mission. Thé sec- 50 said Admiral Sims had lack- lon to appreciate the navy depart- ment's North Sea mine barrage project to bottle up the German submarines. Fi- nally Admiral Mayo had to be sent abroad to obtain the British admiral cooperation in the plan, Mr. Daniels ag- serted. Secretary Danlels scored Admiral Sims for having made prublic his letter entitled, “Some Naval Lessons of the _\\orlv! ‘War,” which brought about the investigation. The letter should never haye been made public until the general board had passed on it, he sa ] d, addin that Admiral Sims “could mot have chosen & more ostentatious : and well- planned manner of securing publicity.” The fact that not one life was lost i1 transporting the army to France was o nswer to s ta il and their platform demands for popUlAE] by the committee.s b S sium® heard 20, and added sat had he known facts ceveloped ducumg the investigation, he Wouli not Li¥e Fecommended Sims o conkress for a life commission as a full f\dnflral Sims’ statement that just prior to sailing for London he received the “explicit admonition;” “Don't let the British pull the wool over your eyes, We Would as soon fight’ them as the Ger. mans," received considerable attention from the secretary If the admiral coo- sidered the words as an “expiicit ad. :‘n(\\nl;mnf'th violated three sectiy .nf aval regulations in i sl e, Mr. Daniels declared. ¢ 1o PUblie, Admiral Sims' criticism that T}vnsrn, former chief of tions, was anti. founded and un.
