The effect that the registrars and cleo
lion officials have resolved to attend
and take part in the meeting Of con-
gress called for today for the purpose
Of determining who has been elected
president. There is considerable anx-
ley as to the result.
The election recently held in Chile
was one Of the stormiest ever held in a
country noted for stormy elections.
Senior Errazuriz, the editor Of one Of
che leading newspapers OF Chile. was
the candidate of the conservatives.
Senior FREDERICK Errazuriz has been a
member Of several Chilean cabinets
and he is regarded as n of the most
bIdliiant of the political leaders OF
South America. The candidate Of the
opposition was Senior Reyes. 1t was
reported that Senior Errazuriz expend-
ed more than $4OO, 900 in his campaign.
Senior Reyes, on the other hand. an
notnced mat he would not spend one
cent Before the election Reyes issued
an address to the electors, in which h,
said that what he had amassed he
should save for his children. He said
hal he was unalterably opposed to
wasting money to satisfy the personal
vanity involved in a desire to become
president. He announced that he OBJ
5ected to the use Of large sums of mon
ey in the political campaign because il
the practice continued only wealthy
men could hope to attain the higher
offices. The election was very close and
the results will probably depend upon
The returns received and the members
elected from some Of the most remote
provinces of Chile. The Chilean con-
g.,ess decided to definitely determine
who was elected president at a meeting
to be held Sunday, Aug. 80. On ac-
count OF the ~cAoseness of the ole ii is
feared that a revolution may be at
tempted no matter which candidate Is
triumphant. There is little talk OF a
