WILL NOT CALL EXTRA SESSION

Hartford, Conn., May 10.—Governor Marcus H. Holcomb, replying ,to the request made .hy-the “flying squadron” of suffragists representing the 48 states, again has declined to call a special session of the Connecticut legislature to act on the woman suffrage amendment. His decision was given in a letter to Miss Katherine Ludington, president of the Connecticut woman suffrage association made public tonight. Four times previously the governor had refused to summon the legislature to consider the federal suffrage amendment, one occasion being after the republican state convention had passed a (resolution calling upon Governor Holcomb, a republican, to take action so that Connecticut might be the thirtysixth state to ratify the federal amendment.
