Thirty.seyen ballots were taken without
result, the members changing votes on
tnearIy every ballot, but not enough CEN
tering on any one candidate to elect him.
After the thirty.seventh ballot short
recess was taken, and the b4lloting was
resumed. AT one time RadEord received
six votes, and would have been elected

| formally announced several OF the mem
bers whose votes were recorded for linn
changed to other candidates. a5,,, x, u
