Tenth Ballot of the Methodist
Episcopal Conference Is
Sealed

BALTIMORE, Nd, May 23-The epit-
omized history of the Episcopal cleo
tion is one effective ballot, electing two
bishops of the eight new ones ordered,
eight ballots that have been without
result and the tenth cast and the ballot
slips sealed, uncounted and not to be
unsealed until Monday. Hence there
speculation as to what the tenth ballot
will show. There are those who, how
ever, judging by his steady advance,
believe that there will be announced
Monday morning the election of Rev.
w. A. Quayle of Chicago, and that the
election of Rev. Edwin H. Hughes,
president of Depauw university, will
speedily follow. There are those, too,
who look for the election of Rev Will
son S. Lewis, president of Morningside
college, when the result of the tenth
ballot is made known.
Perhaps the surprise of the day was
the falling off in the vote of Rev Jo-
seph B. Hingeley, secretary of the con-
ference, who between. the eighth and
ninth ballots lost SO of his followers be-
cause, it is said, of the receipt by a
number of the delegates of kilograms
from resident of Minneapolis express
ing amazement at the prominence
Hingeley had attained, in the voting.
The case of Rev. Charles L. Goodell
pastor of Calvary church, New York
who, having had a bishopric nearly
within his grasp, has dropped almost
out of sight in the voting, continues to
excite interest, and his friends are
looking forward to an announcement
