The South and Central American combination with Spain carried through its slate of four candidates on the first ballot l It became necessary, however. fol them to sacrifice Dr. A. Alvarez oi Ouiie ptCduSe tie COuitli QlQ not put | his name on it's list. In the re-
 balloting pr. Huber of Switzerland and Judge Nyholm of Denmark out voted him.
 Dr. Huber's election to represent the German speaking peoples dissp- l pointed some delegations. including 1 the French delegates, who said that the Germans ought to be represented l by a citizen of a distinctly German country: they voted for Dr. Franz l Klein of Austria.
 When they failed 10 elect Dr. Kleir 1 they endeavored to secure place foi him as a deputy judge. but the Sousf Americans gained a majority in tls assembly for Dr. Alvarez, and wher | 1t was found that the council hat again omitted his name from theil list of deputy judges, the assembly
 reelected him again.
 The final stages developed a sharI
 contest between the council and thu
 assembly, the latter insisting on Dr Alvarez as the fourth deputy judge
