Cleveland, May 2f.-The deadlock in
the Methodist Episcopal general con-
ference over the election of two bisll-

of DR.. Charles c. McCabe of New

discussion and the motion was defeat.

votes. That motion carried and it
smashed the deadlock. From the first
the conference had been voting for two
candidates on each ball9t, that is, each
delegate had two vOtesOn each ballot.
