outside Rome having been warned
OF the approach OF the Pope's death,
many who would not otherwise have
been present at the first session were
on hand Others will arrive daily.
The Papal bull OF Clement XII. is
sued in 1923 was read. The cere-
mony OF breaking the hsherman's
ring and the pontificial seals Of Ben
edict XIV. followed.
Monsignor Resprghi, project of
ceremonies, approached the dean
and received from him the Fisher
mans Ring which had been taken
from Pope Benedict following the
official pronouncement OF death. Al
the same time datary from the Vat
lean State ehancery brought the
seals with which Pope Benedict has
authenticated Papal bulls and briefs.
The seals and the ring were then
broken with heavy hammer and
fragments shown to the Cardinals
as evidence that Benedicts reign
was at an end.
Three Cardinals we're named by
political and ecclesiastical authori-
ties today as most likely SUCCESSORS
to Pope Benedict XIV. They were
Nam. Of Pisa; Gasparri, the Car

Cardinal Man was considered by
many the most logical candidate be-

Cardinal Gasparri, who has been
