 NEW YORK, April [. - To day was tho stormiest of the three days debate in the New York Conferences of tho Methodist Episcopal Church in Youkers over the question whether to admit women, who ask to be accorded the right to represent their sisters annually in General Confer ence or Electoral Conferences. Speeches were limited to ten minutes for each speak- CT, and there was not a minister among the 200 who had chance would have ceased speaking for half day on the subject. When the vote was taken the brethren fshed pencils and bits of paper out of their DO kets to keep tally, while the Secret .ry, the Rev c. E. Mllsrd, from his seat beside the Bishop, proceeded to call the roll and record the yeas and nays.
 It was whispered among the ministers b. fore the count was half completed that the women champions were worsted in the fight. At the close of the roll call there was no demonstration by victors or van. pushed. Secretary Willard had been di. rected by the Convention not to announce the result of the ballot uutil to- morrow but the brethren agreed anon g themselves that the result of the ballot was 60 for the admission of women and 1S3 against.
