King Loses Fight for Place among "Big 4" Delegates
New Haven dispatch reports John T. King defeated in the state convention led by J Henry Roraback and Col Isaac Ullman while earning a Fairfield County delegate seat. King retained a county central committee post and won unanimous Fairfield County support for the national committee, amid calls of “slaughter” by Mayor Wilson and party factions. The convention adjourned without instructing Connecticut delegates as King faced strong regional opposition and shifted to defending his Republican credentials.
