tory in Election
REORGANIZATION PLANNED

Mrs. Joseph 4. Hudson, president Of
the Y. W. G. A. for many terms, has
been defeated for re- election to the as
sociation boards Of managers.
This Is the outstanding fact in the
findings of Election Master John NJ
| Scott, appointed by the court to super
wise the annual election held May q
to June 4, when for the first time In
history the active members of the or
ganization were allowed to vote.
| Over this fact the so called insurgent
faction. headed by Mrs. George Vaux
| Jr.. Mrs. Frank T. Griswold, Mrs
John Gribbel and other Influential
women, is jubilant today. Though II
will be weeks. perhaps months, before
the matter is finally settled through the
courts. this one fact gives them con
| fidence that everything will be in theii
| favor finally.
Mrs. Gribbel New President
Mrs. Gribbel is virtually the new
| president of the association.
| According to Mr.. SCOTS findings.
said Mrs. Naux today. Seventy of the
eighty eight members of the board oi
| directors elected are from among ouI
forces. Naturally that gives us the
vast majority and we are perfectly con
fdent that we shall be able to reor-
ganize the association on new ano
firm basis. We are absolutely sure Of
seventy votes. so we know that the
officers who will be elected later from
among the board of managers will bt
| the ones we have named on our ticket.
These names include Mrs. Gribbel as
president. Mrs. George Vaux, Jr.. Mrs
| Cyrus G. Foss, Mrs. Henry Green
Mrs. Robert Hunter and Miss Harriet
| Harvey as vice presidents; Mrs. Will
liam Freemantle. recording secretary
Mrs. Frank Griswod. corresponding
secretary. and Mrs. John w. Geary as
| treasurer.
Masters Findings Reported,
Election Master Scotts findings hav,
been reported to the attorneys No
both the administration and the in
surgent factions. Ten days have beer
allowed for the filing of objections ant
| the presentation of arguments before
| the court takes action. The insurgen
group rather expects Mrs. Hudson ant
| her followers to appeal the case t.
| higher courts. but that does not din
their Joy nor lessen their confidence II
the final results.
"All of these proceedings will neces
sarily defer any meeting of the new
board of managers, said Mrs. Vaux
but we know it is only a question O.
time now, for this board will surel!
meet and will surely elect. the womeI
we feel most competent to take up th'
affairs of the association"
Ends Long Controversy
e. The final decision will end a con
troversy of more than years stand
ing. started when members of the Ken
-sington branch Y. W. G. A. were denie
the vote when they appeared at an elec
ton. The insurgent group Hppealed t
the court of Judge Stake. of Cour
of Common Pleas No. 5. sustained thei
contention that active members shoul
be allowed to vote. Mrs. Hudson an
the administration forces contended tha
only members Of the board of manager
were entitled to vote. The court en-
Joined Mrs. Hudson from preventing tn
voting of all active members and ap
!, pointed John NJ. Scott to supervise tn
election.
