Uncertain As To Election Date.

Rome-The Congregation of the
Cardinals met for the second time Sat-
urday morning. Cardinal Della Volpe
presided. Among other matters dealt
with was the question of the holding
of the conclave for the election Of the
new Pope.
Two opinions. diametrically opposed,
were offered. One was that, owing to
the perturbed condition of the world.
the election must be hastened and that
the conclave should begin its work on
August 81. The other maintained the
advisability of delaying the conclave
in order that all the cardinals might
have an opportunity to reach Rome.
