Valiant TeIlers.

With not a wink of sleep and with
but a short respite for lunches, the
thirty tellers, who began their work at
s o'clock last night. worked into the
carly dawn and through the morning
today.
At first the Daughters. returning from
the evening exercises at Continental
Hall. thronged Peacock Alley in the
New Willard in the hope that the re-
suit would be known about midnight.
Disco ging reports came from the
counting room, however. and many OF
the waiting ones went disappointedly TO
bed. Others fingered on until nearly 3
O'Clock and then they. Stoo. gave up
Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, confident that
on account of the length OF the ticket

rather dispirited response.
There were thirteen candidates for
the office Of vice president general
Only ten could De voted for, and II is
probable that not a dozen ballots in the
total number were exactly similar as
to the favorite ten. The teilers were
confronted with the knowledge in view
Of the rumored clOseness Of the con-
test, that a mistake, not so important
in a more one-sided contest. might turn
the tide today, and their carefulness
was almost nerve-racking.
The International Association OF Law
had previously engaged the New VIII

rived the management was informed
that the count was far from completed.
and the lawyers had to be accommo-
