The word "conjecture" can be taken a number of ways.

If the "conjecture" involves an inference based on false or defective information, you need only show convincing or conclusive evidence that the information is false or faulty.

If the "conjecture" is the result of surmise or guessing, then it is nothing more than a guess itself, and, therefore, has no basis in fact or logic.

If the "conjecture" is an unproven mathematical hypothesis, you will need to disprove its validity from its basis. Start with the basic crux of the problem and work step by step until you disprove (or prove) the hypothesis to be untrue (or true). Make sure you have good arguments and sound mathematics.
