ADJOURNED IN CONFUSION,
Disputed Election of M. r.. South
Bishops In Conference,

Bishops I'm Conference.
BALTIMORE, May 17-Rev. DR..
Warren A. Gambler, Of Oxford, Ga,
and Rev. DIR. H. c. Morrison, of Nash
vile, Tenn, were elected bishops of
the M. E. church South today by the
general conference In session here.
Only two ballots were taken, but
large proportion Of the delegates were
of the opinion that Rev. e. F. Hoss, of
Nashville, was also elected
The discussion on this point was
lively.
The whole number Of votes cast on
the second ballot was 255, and Bishop
Wilson, who was presiding, announced
that 12S were required to elect. DIR.
Gambler received 145, Dr. Morrison 14O
and DR.. Hess 129.
The conference had started out to
elect only two bishops. This limit was
determined upon several days ago. AS
soon as Bishop Wilson announced DR..
Gambler and DR.. Morrison had been
elected there was storm of protest.
1t was claimed that DR.. Hoss had also
thick and fast. The confusion grew.
Only men with stentorian voices had
any chance at all, either Of recognition
by the chair or Of hearing by the con-
ference.
The struggle was ended by a vote to
adjourn in the midst Of business
The effect is questioned. Some claim
that Dr. Hoss has been elected, and
others claim not. 1t is generally agreed
that Drs. Gambler and Morrison are
elected. Delegates are freely predict
ing that DR.. Hoss will be elected to-
morrow.
The method Of accomplishing this
will be either as reconsideration or as
a special new action to be taken by
the conference
The mere mention of it Is expected
to arouse lively parliamentary Skin
