HARTFORD. Feb. 21.———An invitation ‘
to President Wilson to be the joint,
guest of the General Assembly of Con-
necticut should he visit Hartford at
the invitation of the city of Hartford.
was extended today. The resolution
was offered by Senator Klett. who
spoke for it. After its adoption. it
was found that the House’ had ul-
fiourned. so no concurrent action is
assumed for lack of tlmTé, befom'th.
House reassembles, to complete the
parliamentary action. The invitati-
probably also will be extended perm-
ally by Governor Holcomb if the lot-
,ter goes to Boston to amend a map-
..tion by the New England Governors to
lthe President. Meantime the Senate
resolution will go forward. The reso-
lution adopted follows: .
“Whereas. The City of Hartford has
invited the president of the United
States to visit this city, and whereas
the president has accepted an invita-
tion to attend a reception tendered by
lthe legislature of ”monolingual,
itherefore be it ,
“Resolved, That the Senate and
lHouse of Representatives of Connec-
iticut join with the City of Hartford in
blaming the invitation and am they
vibe the President to betheir gnu-t
iin the Capitol, and, it possible, at!-
tdresa them, and be it further '.
