Rome, Aug. 20.-The matter of the
conclave of cardinals which is to elect
the successor of Plus ", was discuss
ed today. 1t is said a majority OF the
cardinals favor holding it at Rome as
usual, because of the neutrality OF
Italy in the war. Others, however,
suggested Holland. which they re-
garded more neutral than Italy.
1t is expected the conclave for the
election of the new pope will be held
Sept. 3, to give time for the cardinals
of several countries to arrive. Even
so, it is doubtful if Cardinals Gibbons
and O'Conneu of the United States
can reach here in time, owing to the
partial suspension of steamship ser
vice.
New Rules for ConcIave.
The Giornale DTtalia says the pope
recently drew up new rules to govern
future conclaves and that these aboi-
ished the right of veto of foreign pow
ers, thus freeing the cardinals of tenn
poral influences in spiritual matters.
The new rules. the paper says, also
modified some formalities concerning
the duration OF the conclave.
Cardinal Della Volpe, the chamber
lain, who was absent from Rome, will
return today and invite the members
of the sacred college to decide upon

the drivers, the mechanics and to the
officials Of the American Automobile
association, who regularly act at these
events
The condition which il rapidly aris-
ing in the automobile world IL not dis
when. in 1894, the League Of American
Wheelmen formed the National Cycle
Racing circuit and by doing SO reduced
the travelling of the riders OF bicycles
thousands of miles and reduced the ex-
penses nearly one-half through an ar
rangement Of dates for race meetings.
The national circuit Of cycle racing
was a feature in American competition
for years, and a circuit Of automobile
race meets would be quite as much
a feature. This will be the case espe-
cially when the Detroit, New York. Chi
cago, Twin Cities. Omaha and other
speedways have been completed, as IL
now probable.
New York. Chicago and the Twin Cit
les have secured land. New York and
the Twin Cities by purchase, Chicago by
option. and Detroit also optioned its
land. The Indianapolis, Sioux City, Ia
coma and Seattle speedways are in
successful annual operation and road
races at Elgin, Los Angeles, San Diego,
and San Francisco each year, with
track race meets at such points as Kali
amaz0o, Galesburg, ond other places
will provide a sufficient number of
meets to keep the drivers busy the
year round. Sportsmen of wealth who
back the drivers in these contests are
already numerous and will increase in
