It is impossible to fsrecsst todsyls -.
suit. although apparsntly the slsctiea
lies between thess twos officials. The
third ballot. taken yesterday after
noon, gave Premier Poincare 800 votes.
while NJ. Pans received as. Five
votes went 20 three other candidates.
1t is thopght. however. that the
Radical Left may bring forward new
candidate or revive the candidacy Of
Antonin Dubost, president of the Sen
ate, or ex-Premier Felix Ribot, II NJ.
PANS does not win on the first bal.
lot, for which the Socialist, Eduardo
valiant. stands.
1t is explained that the uncertain
situation is due to the fact that large
number of NJ Poincares supporters
would on no account vote for M. Pans
if the Premier withdrew, while none
of the exponents Of proportional rep
resentation, who support the candidacy
of NJ Pans, would vote for Premier
Poincare If the Minister of Agriculture
retired.
Apart from this, there are more
than one hundred Right and Conser-
vative Republicans, who we're not pres
ent at the caucus, most of whom, 1t is
believed, will vote for M. Poincare.
And there are seventy-five Socialists
,, who might vote for the Premier on q
second ballot. on account of his cham
pionship of proportional representa-
tion. OF which they are jealous advo-
Gates.
A large meeting of members OF the
Republican Left was held late last
night, under the chairmanship of ex-
Premier Combes. At the opening Of
the session the discussion was exceed
ingly stormy; M Clemenceau charac-
terizing Ferdinand Buison as "mis-
