They asserted he wan elected by the votes of the Jews, Ukranians, Germans and Russians, iving only 186 Polish votes, while 227 Polish votes were cast for Count Zamoyski, Under the constitution the speaker of the house, Maciez Rataj, acts as the president, and is required at once to convoke a national assem- bly to choose a new chief executive.
