TRUMBULL MAY

ONG’. O. P. TICKET

New Haven Reports
Party Leaders Have
Agreed on Him to
Run With Bingham

NEW’ HAVEN. Aug. 4 ——Hirsm
Billng of New Haven. for gover-
nor. and John H. Trumbull of
Plaiuvllle. for lieutenant governor,
will lead the ticket which the Re-
public-n party will nominate of the
stats convention herd. next. month.
according to best political authority.
While Bingham‘o candidacy has al-
roady been announced, very little
has been said of Trumbull for second
place. but it is known that this has
been agreed upon by party leaders.

'The convention here will be minus
any fireworks. is the general con-
sensus of opinion. The local ma-
chine. it is said. will not oppose
Bingham's candidacy. it. being point-
ed out that it was through the local
machine that Blngham was nomin-
ated for the post he now holds. Col.
1. M. Ullman nominating the Yale
Professor upon the floor of the con-
vcntion.

The only flurry which may come.
will be as a. result of dispatches
which have their origin in “’oter-
bury and Bridgeport. to the effect
that. Governor Templeton may be a
candidate for renominatlon. The re-
ports say that friends of the gover-
nor are making every attempt to in-
duce him to allow his name to be
presented to the convention. but
have not yet gained his consent. lt
is not generally believed that this
will materialize, the governor having
repeatedly announced that ho is
through with politics and will enter
Yale university when he retires.

One thing, however. is certain and
that is that New Haven'- 12 votes
will go to Bingham, regardless of
what. side of the Republican party
hero wins in the coming caucuses.
thus making sure the fulfillment of
the pledge rocently made here that
the local votes would go to Bing-
hsm. The machine. which claims it
will control tho city. will not "buck"
Bingham and since the “antiqua-
chinists" have already declared
themselves for Bingham. it is ob-
vious that New Haven will be for
Binghsm.‘

In the meanwhile reports of dis-
content from hitchfleld county.
where the home of J. Henry nora-
back is located. continue to be heard.
There it is claimed that Rorabock
is snubbing his own county in link-
lng for a candidate in New Haven.
The name of John H. Wadhams is
being prominently mentioned. but
those opposing the state machine.
it is believed, will strike I. snag in
this quarter. for Wsdhams is not
