Archbishop of New York, ana Mgf.
George Mundelein, Archbishop OF
Chicago. were made cardinals of the
Roman Catholic church at secret
consistory this morning, in the historic
hall of consistory at the Vatican. The
ceremony carried out in conformity
with centuries old ritual was perform
ed in majestic solemnity amid q set
ting of colorfu1 splendor.
The two American prelates thus
raised to the dignity of princes OF
the church were not present, but
awaited notification in Rome, in ac-
cordance with custom.
The consistory was participated in
by all the cardinals resident in Rome
| The hall was dazzling mass of col
or. The striking violet robes of the
cardinals, hanging to the ground in
graceful folds, mingled with the pur-
pie of the monsignors of the papal
household, Swiss guards in their null
ti-colored medieval uniforms and bear
ing Halberds, papal gendarmes, Of
fcers of the Vatican's armed forces
and numerous functionaries in his
toric garb added to the picturesque
ness of the scene. The cardinals were
ranged according to rank with Car
dinal Vannutelli, their octogenarian
dean at the head.
The ringing of bell announced the
approach Of the Pope who entered,
amid profound silence. He was clad
in white, his robes standing out in
bold contrast to the rest of the col.
orful array. He walked slowly, flank
ed by a group Of Swiss guards and
members of the household. Each pre-
late knelt as he approached.
When the pontiff took his place on
the throne the cardinals paid him
homage, each in turn approaching the
throne and kissing the papal ring.
At the conclusion the papal master
of ceremonies in low voice announc-
ed extra omnes" All but the Pope
and members of sacred college began
to retire from the hail. When all
those who were not to participate in
the consistory had Withdrawn the
doors were closed and group of
Swiss guards took up their station at
the entrance.
The Pope rose from his throne and
uttered a short prayer to the Holy
Ghost for the guidance of the con-
sistory. He next read his allocution.
The election of the two new car
dinals then took place and occupied
but brief time. The pontiff an
nounced their names and then asked
the required question: "Quid Outs
Videtur?" Has any one aught to say?)
Each cardinal, beginning with the
dean, rose in turn, bowed to the Pope
and removed his skull cap as sign
of assent. The, pontiff then announc-
ed list of bishops and other nomina-
tions and the consistory was over.
Descending from his throne, the
Pope departed between rows of car
dinals, who genufected as he passed,
and was escorted back to his apart
ments by Swiss guards and members
Of the household.
The cardinals descended to the court
of Saint Damaso, where their carriag-
es awaited and were driven TO their
residences, the crowds outside paying
them homage as they passed through
st. Peters Square.
Are Notified of Election.
At the same time Monsignor Ger
vasi, secretary to the papal secretary
of state, departed with Papal couriers
to notify the Americans of their cleo
ton. The new cardinals, attended by
MISUNDERSTANDING received him
clad in the vestments of archbishops
and each replied to the biglietti with
short address of gratitude.
While becoming cardinals from the
moment of their notification, the Am
erican dignitaries must wait until
Thursday morning to be invested in
the scarlet robes and hats and other
insignia of their Office This ceremony
which is open to the public, is even
more colorful than today's ceremony
To accommodate the large numbers of
Americans desiring to witness it, the
ceremony will be held in the huge
basilica of St. Peters.
Archbishops Hayes Mundelain arose
early with last minute preparations to
receive the pontiffical diplomas and
announcing their elevations to the
cardinalate.
Both prelates spent this function
only by the members of their ec-
clesiastical party.
Just before the hour approached for
the days ceremonies their secretaries
opened few envelopes of the stacks
of congratulatory messages they have
received.
