CONTEST A BATTLE ROYAL

Washington, April 23.-when the q
gantic task Of counting the ballots
had been completed early today it
was found that Mrs. Matthew T. Scott
Of Illinois. the anti-administratio
candidate, had been elected president-
general of the Daughters of the Amer
lean revolution. by q majority OF eight.
The defeated candidate was Mrs. Story
of New York.
All Was Suspense.
All was suspense last night among
the Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton over the result of the election
of president general and other Off
GERS yesterday. The balloting began
late in the afternoon and last night the
tellers were engaged in the prodigous
task of counting the votes. This may
take many hours and the possibilities
are that they will not be able to sub
NIT their report until morning.
The day was one Of intense excite
ment for the daughters. There was a
mad rush for Continental hall and
long before the days sessions we're be-
gun every delegate was in her seat. the
galleries were packed to OVERLOOKING,
and many rightfully entitled to admis-
sion were compelled to content them
selves with standing in the lobby.
The bare mention Of the names OF
Mrs. Story and Mrs. Scott, the anti-ad-
ministration and administration candi-
dates, respectively, for president-gen-
eral. was enough to set the great gath
ering into state OF pandemonium.
The delegates ana visitors threw aside
all semblance Of restraint and wildls-
cheered. clapped their hands, waved
their hAndkerohiefs. and in other ways
displayed their partisanship.
Contest Battle Royal.
The nominating speeches were re-
plete with oratory and fiery spirit and
gave every evidence that the contest
was q battle royal There was no sug-
gestion Of bitterness Of feeling, how
ever. the respective candidates being
put forward entirely on their merits.
The fury OF the struggle OF the OPP
posing factions was broken when In
the afternoon the daughters proceeded
in a body to the White House to pay
their respects to President and Mrs.
Taft.
