Mrs. Bulkeley. as well as her husband, was active in the campaigns, serving as chairman of the women's state committee on the Liberty Loan.

For nearly a half century. Mr. Bulkeley was a frequent resident at Fen-wtiWSItffrgve freely time and money towards Improvements. There he and few associates, working for an Ideal family seashore resort, secured a special charter from the Legislature, making the 100 acres of the peninsula separate borough. They bought up the hundreds of building lots, withdrew tbem from the market, and converted them into a golf course.

Not long ago, a fine state road was built to connect Fenwlck with Saybrook village. A Token ef Esteem. a token of the esteem In which he was held by the city of Hartford. Mr. Bulkeley received from the board of aldermen August 7, 1918, an engraved volume containing a complimentary resolution adopted by the board.

The book was 8 by 10 Inches, with a brown leather cover bearing the city seal In gold leaf and enamel. It had ten eheepskln pages, on the first of which was en-'. graved the following: "The City of Hartford to Hon. Morgan G. Bul-! keley, Becember 1917." Among other things In the book were: a water color sketch of the old State House, the city seal In colors, a re- sume of the public services of Mr.

He had many" loyal appointees and devoted friends, not a few of whom were members of the Legislature. Samuel Fessenden, who always had Falrfleld County in the palm of his hand, was a candidate, and Senator Joseph R. Hawley, desired renomination.

Fes-senden was national committeeman at the time, also state's attorney. The republican caucus was held In the hall of the House of Representatives at the Capitol. There were six ballots, as follows: offices of the Aetna Life Insurance Company. In this picture ex-Senator Bulkeley Is seated at a large rtVhly carved mahogany table which once belonged to Thomas Jefferson. rfomiu-i-ntte mnilarilnn nrt the apparent majority was question ed.

The two branch of the Legis- i lature were of opposite parties and an election proved impossible. Governor Bulkeley. though not renominated, held over. That was the beginning of the famous deadlock session. Only one of the candidates on the democratic ticket for state officers was elected by an undisputed majority, and that was Nicholas Staub of New Milford, the candidate for comptroller.

The t'rowbiir Incident. Comptroller Stauli, as custodian of the Capitol, caused the door of the governor oftice to be locked against Governor Bulkeley. who saw it bis duty to remain in office until his successor qualified. Staub detailed a number of special officers to prevent Bulkeley from entering the executive oftice. Bulkeley had a ntimner of special police officers assigned to counterbalance the force organized by Staub.

He directed his officials to force the door of the governor's room, but its heavy construction thwarted them. Calling for a crowbar, the governor himself pried open the door with a strong jab and he entered and took possession of tne office. The election Question was taken to i the Supreme ourt of the state and Mr. Bulkeley was legally declared to be de facto governor, and he served out the term in that capacity. Tho episode gave rise to the term "The Crowbar Governor," by which the governor was called for years.

I'uring the deadlock, legislation remained in abeyance. No appropriations were voted for the maintenance of the Institutions of the state or for meeting the Imperative requirements of the treasure. Governor Bulkeley met the the Aetna Life Insurance company, he volunteered to furnish all the money needed to meet every legitimate bill. Instructions were Issued In regard to the method of making disbursements and keeping the accounts. The next General Assembly, by public act, repaid the company In full with Interest without disallowance of an item.

Ex-Chief Justice Samuel O. Prentice of the supreme court of terrors was saddened by the news of his death. He said: "I feel deeply that Connecticut has lost one of its choicest citizens and I. one of my most valued friends. Hartford, especially, will sadly miss his sterling: and forceful personality and will, I fear, look long before it sees his like again.

"Public spirit was a dominant characteristic of his life and what this community owes to him can hardly be measured. A natural leader of men, he accepted leadership in many a good cause and by his courage and force, piloted them to success as no other man could or would have done. "His friendship was the most valued possession and he vouchsafed it to many of high and low degree, whose love and loyalty he cherished. The world will seem like a quite different place without his forceful and genial presence." Seaa'to McLean. Senator George P.

McLean's tribute follows: "Morgan G. Bulkeley was a patriot of the rarest type. He loved Hartford and onnecticut and his country.

Governor Lake paid the following tribute to Kx-Governor Bulkeley: "The death of Senator Bulkeley must bring to every mind the full realization of what his loss will be to both the city and the state.

Bulkeley owned an extensive collection of curios, and one of the most rare and valuable of tnese is no boo. uc 1Cv, known to be in existence. It was used in the education of children of the Puritans. It consists 'of a sheet printed on one side and placed on a backing of wood, the lower part of the wooden frame or holder being prolonged as a handle. The upper or printed side of the sheet Is covered with a transparent sheet of horn, which explains the name.

Horn Hooks Were Necessity. The matter printed on horn books consisted generally of the alphabet, a few syllables for the infant learner, and the Lord's prayer, with. In some cases, the addition of the Arabic numerals. At a time when books were expensive and when printing presses and printing paper were scarce In New England, horn hooks were a necessity and were in great vogue. i Mr.

Bulkeley's horn book came from Guilford and was. until it came into his possession, the property of John W. Norton of that town. Ac- cording to an affidavit made by Mr. Norton, the horn book wns formerly the property of Rev.

John Hart of Madison, who was born In Farming- ton, April 1 1682. Mr. Hart was the second student to be graduated from Tale. The horn book was by him passed to his descendants, of whom Mr. Norton was one.

200 Sketches In Collection. Another of Mr Bulkeley's slons was a volume containing the original pencil sketches from which were made the wood -cut illustrations in Barber's "Connecticut Historical Collections." The collection numbers over 200 pencil sketches. Mr. Bulkeley bought the collection from the late James Terry of this city. The collection is Invaluable, be- cause the sketches show so many views of the state between eighty and ninety years ago.

He lived his patriotism more than any man I ever knew." Ei-tiovernor Itollin f. WoodrolT.

Ex-Governor Rollin S. Woodruff of New Haven said: "I was entirely unprepared to hear of his death. d'd nnt even know that he had been sick. No friend that I ever had did I appreciate more than Morgan G. Bulkeley.

He as i one whom everybody loved, a man of lovable character and with It higher; character. I bad the very highest regard for him." .1. Henry Itorabaek. Henry Roraback, chairman of the republican state central committee, said: "Senator Bulkeley was one of the greatest public men of his state. In political as in business af fairs, he was a man of strong con victions, snd when he believed him- self In the right, was never afraid to 'back his convictions.

Such conduct made him one of the strongest forces for the good of his day, and he will be long remembered by Con necticut for the great works wnicti bear his name." Mayor Kinselln. Mayor Kinsella said: "I want to express to the family my personal sympathy in the deatu of Senator Bulkeley. and I feel as executive of the city that I can con-, slder it my duty and my privilege to extend to the family the entire sympathy of each and every resl-dent of the city of Hartford."

He left Hartford about six weeks later to tempt fortune in New York.

In the election, Morris had 75,074 votes, Bulkeley 73.569, with about 5.000 scattering.

Mr. Hawley was subsequently elected. With tha convening of the General Assembly of 1905, Mr. Bulkeley and Mr. Fessenden had the field to themselves, due to the plan of General Hawley to retire.

Fessenden got a handicap over Mr. Bulkeley at the outset, by winning election first as a state senator and then as president, pro tem. of the Senate. The Legislature was overwhelmingly republican. The battle opened early and was vigorously waged.

Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth of New Haven came out in an open letter urging members not to vote for Mr. Bulkeley. The General Assembly came together Wednesday, January S.
