Thirteen Nominees
+ Each of the nominees had numerous
seconders. The nominations closed at
$3.50 p. M, an hour and a half after
they had begun. The Rev. Mr.. Gilbert
was the thirteenth nominee and. like
the others, unless there should be
some withdrawals, will be voted upon
to-day Friday, the thirteenth.
Mention of prospective withdrawals
after adjournment of the session yes-
terday centered about the candidates.
of DR.. Lloyd, formerly president of the
Board of Missions of the diocese. and
the Venerable Dr.. Pott until recently
Archdeacon Of the diocese. The pre-
diction also was made that DR.. Ship
man might withdraw prior to the start
OF balloting this morning. The fact
that the first two have seen fit to give
up their important recent places in
the diocese in order to devote them
selves to the work Of their individual
parishes was regarded as indication of
their possible decision not to run. If
these predictions are accurate, then
ten, instead of thirteen, candidates will
he in the race.
Should either DR.. Lloyd or DR.. Hulse,
both of them bishops, be elected, of
course, neither would have to be re-
consecrated in order to qualify as bsh-
ops suffragan. AS for the others, it
will be necessary for those elected to
undergo the same procedure laid down
by the Church laws as is applicable to
the installation of any other bishop.
This means a delay of probably two to
three months before the two successful
candidates can take up their duties.
The only nomination made by mem
Der of the laity was that of DR.. pelton,
whose name was entered by DR.. James
A. Hamilton, Commissioner of Correc-
tiops of New York City. DR.. Hamilton
stressed the Importance of the conven-
tion considering "a layman's choice"
inasmuch, he said, as all the other can
didates thus far advanced had been
placed in nomination by members of
the clergy.
