 Rome, September B. Cardin- al Della Chiesa, former assist ant of the Papal Secretary of State was today elected Pope on the ninth ballot and received the first adoration of the Cardinals. He chose to be known as Ben edictus Fifteenth, and will lat CT designate the date of his cor onation.
 Cardinals Gibbons and O'Con- nell were among several of the foreign cardinals absent. Chiesa was made a cardinal the last of May.
 His election indicates a con- tinuance of the policies of the late Pontif and Secretary Mer- ry Del Val. Through him the long quarrel between the Italian government and the Vatican may be ended.
 Cardinal Maffi was said to have been leading on the earlier ballots today.
 The new Pope is sixty years of age, and is native of Genoa. Bo- logne is now his home, where he is known as a strong foe of modernism" in religion.
