CONSERVATIVE ELEMENT CLAIMS
CONTROL OF CONVENTION.
HEARST MADE A STRONG FIGHT
Instructions for Parker are Probable.
Delegates Assembled at Hartford
for the Fray Will Name Fourteen
Dcclgatcs to St. Louis.
Hartford , Conn. , May fi. Politicians
and delegates from all over the ntato
are Hocking to town to attend the
democratic otato convention , which
meets In the Auditorium tonight.
Organization will bo onvelod thla
ovonlng and adjournment limn ( niton
until tomorrow. The principal busi
ness hoforo the convention will ho
the selection of fxirlcon delegates to
the national convention at St. Louis.
Hc.'irst has made a strong light
throughout the stale , but the consorv-
atlvo element claims that It will bo
able to control the convention and
that Connecticut's delegation will go
to St. Louis Instructed for Judge
Parker. The Hearst delegates corno
from Bridgeport , Now Haven , Waterbury -
bury , Meridian and other mill towns ,
while the rural districts , the smaller
m ns and several uf the larger cities
ncludlng Hartford , have sent dele
gates to the convention opposed to
learst. It Is believed that If the first
cut vote In the convention shows the
learst following that they lack a ma
orlty they will not strlvo for an In
structed delegation , but will oniloav-
) r to prevent .Indgo Parker from got-
Ing an Instructed delegation.
Washington Democrats.
Olympla , Wash. , May fi. The dem
ocratic state convention Is In session
icre today for the purpose of choos-
ng ton delegates to the St. Louis
convention. The action of the con
vention In regard to Instructions for
ho presidential nomination la prob-
ematlcal as there appears to bo no
wcll-ilolincd feeling In favor of nny
lartlcular candidate. The populist el
ement In the party leans toward
Hearst , while Senator Turner and
jthor conservative leaders have de
clared their preference for Parkor. It
is probable the convention will de
clare In favor of Senator Turner as
the choice of the democrats of the
northwest for the vice-presidential
nomination.
Sixth Michigan District.
Detroit , Mich. , May fi. The repub
lican congressional convention of the
Sixth district met here today to nom
inate a candidate for congress and to
select delegates to the Chicago con
vention. Congressman Samuel W.
Smith Is a candidate for rcnomlna-
tlon and will probably bo chosen.
