Letters of General Joseph R. Hawley to Charles Dudley Warner, The Hartford Daily Times, January 24, 1930. Henry P. Haven of New London won the nomination for governor in the convention, of which Colonel Wright was permanent chairman, after a contest with Harrison, but the bitterness engendered by the pre-convention bickering showed it on election day when Charles R. Ingersoll, a leading New Haven democrat, of whom Hawley came to think quite highly personally, beat him by 3,000 majority, almost a landslide in those days of close votes. Hawley came home for the campaign and spoke at a Hartford rally early in April. Along with two other republicans he. was re-elected to congress by l,30f plurality. Although he ran ahead of Haven by 200 or more votes, he again failed to -carty Hartford. He le6 in Hartford County as he did in Tolland. Concerned as he had been over the fact that his friends on the Courant seemed to be driving a wedge between himself and Marshall Jewell, Hawley retained no malice in his heart over the incidents. Less than a fortnight after he had displayed so much feeling over the Courant's handling of political matters incident to the campaign of '73 Hawley was writing in his normal manner of affairs in Washington.
